Royal Ascot Tips

He can win at 2m or he can win at 3m or he can win at 3m2f. That's what you need going to the National, a bit of luck. He's in good old nick. Six weeks to go and he didn't have that hard of a race, he got a couple of smacks at the back of the last. He's 10 years of age. I'd say Burrows Saint probably has a problem with his puff again, he cut out very quickly turning in when travelling really well. The second horse (Escaria Ten) is a good horse. There was a Thyestes winner in it, a Kim Muir winner in it and an Irish National winner so it was a tidy race. The second horse was second in the four miler at Cheltenham and stays well. I was happy with my fella today and I'm glad I got a race into him. I'm delighted he got a few smacks and he had to go and do it. There was no point touring around. You want to be competitive as it is six weeks to the National, he needs to be fit and well for it. I'm delighted, I couldn't have asked for better. I was coming off the stand and I was delighted if he was second and I was delighted that the verdict went our way. He'll go there (Aintree) fit and well with a clear run and everything going right for him.
