I've been quite bullish about this horse and luckily it's paid off otherwise I might have had to eat my words a bit,. I'm very pleased with him, it's great, and maybe we'll step him up to seven furlongs now. We'll give him a bit of a break and then go for the Dewhurst or something like that I suppose. It seems logical and he'll get further. The big question is if he'll get a mile but he'll definitely get seven. It was a great result. Obviously I was coming here with a lot of trepidation but you can tell very good horses at home, going to perform for you, got the form and did the job. If you've got a good horse it makes a difference, you don't have to struggle too much then. It was a great ride by Frankie and it's great to have him on board. As he said to me after he won the July Stakes 'send him anywhere you like' and that proved to be right. I'm thrilled to bits with him. Every run he's been held up and produced with a turn of foot but he was able to dictate today and it shows that he knows his job now. M Meade, trainer
