He's a nice horse. He did everything right and Mark said he showed loads of pace. He said you could even bring him back to two miles,. He's in the Royal Bond, obviously I have to talk to Frank (Berry) and all the lads. We thought a lot of him last year, we minded him. He's still not the finished article, he's still a big weak horse. Mark said he showed an awful lot of pace and thought he was actually going too slow the whole way, thought he was hacking. I stepped him out to two-and-a-half because I thought at home he was just a bit lackadaisical, a bit sleepy. That was good and we're very happy. Gordon Elliott, trainer
