He was still a bit green today, but travelled better through the race, although the track probably didn't suit him. Hopefully he will step up into Listed company, and he is one for next year.

I didn’t think he deserved to be 50/1, he’d won a Group 1 in Germany last time and came here in good form. If you look up all his form from last year, it was on ground that was too quick for him. He kept on trying, he got his conditions today and he went and did it. Shane is very strong, but the horse is very tough. H
