He's a lovely horse. He's a jockey's dream as he pings the gates, he lobs along until you ask him and the second you give him a squeeze he's there for you,. He's very versatile and he's just a lovely horse to ride. He's not a bad horse. I don't know what his rating will be now but you could look at something like the Cesarewitch because I think he'd stay as far as you want him to and if not he could go into stakes company. He's not a bad horse at all.

He's not a bad horse and is lovely and lazy out the country and doesn't do anymore than he has to. I think the step up in trip might suit him more. You take them each run at a time but he is definitely progressive and is very likeable. He has to be a Group horse after the rating he's going to get now and if he keeps progressing you wouldn't know what he is going to be.

It wasn't ideal (dropping in trip) but the race came up and he showed his stamina in the final furlong. I had a grand position once I got out and once I got a few belts into him, and I thought I'd always get there. He probably wants further but with the bit of soft ground he got away with the mile today.
