The handicapper has his job to do. You can't blame a horse that is improving, he is bred to improve with time and with distance, and he has improved from his first run of the year to his last run. I don't think there's too many horses in Ireland that get 21lb; he was proved right to give him 21lb. We'll see what he gives him again, he has a job to do. We think he is a big baby and whatever he does this year he is sure to improve. I had a lot of big horses last year and that is why we are having such a good year this year. They seem to have strengthened up over the winter. I think he is (still improving in his work at home). He is by Manduro who is a stallion that gets three and four-year-olds. He has improved. I did (fancy him today). I thought it was going to be tough, I would have loved to have had a run in between. It's the fifth run of his career and he is after winning the Ulster Derby, so he's probably a pretty smart horse. The second horse (Sunchart) ran in the Irish Derby so it was a good race. The best two horses were in the front two. I'm delighted for Shane Kelly as I think that is the biggest win he has had for us. He works hard and deserves his win so I'm delighted. This year we have hit a rich vein of form - big horses improving with every run. We like to see them keep coming forward on every run. J P Murtagh, trainer
