It was a very good performance from a three-year-old under top-weight,. The second horse is a five-year-old and as Chris said it's November ground. It was a good battling performance and he just started to idle then in front. He's performed well all year, he was fifth in the Guineas and has been on the go since April. He's a tough horse. He ran a very good race last time and was a bit unlucky not to win in France, he was only beaten a nose and half a length and came from way off it. He deserved to go out with a big win again and he's done us proud during the year, he's a multiple group winner and we'll look to having a very major campaign with him next year. He'll be doing a bit of travelling.

That was very pleasing. He's a lovely colt, still immature, and he'll make a lovely colt next year. There is lots to look forward to. Hopefully he'll come back for a Guineas trial and I see him potentially as an Irish 2,000 Guineas horse. He just had to wait there obviously to get him out and get him balanced and he came home exceptionally well. He has a lot of pace this horse and the lovely thing about him is that he has pace but he has stamina as well. It was nine furlongs today but he'll be a lovely mile or mile-and-a-quarter horse for next year please God. The National Stakes just came a little bit soon for him and he got struck into which that maybe just didn't help him either. I probably just put him into a Group 1 a little bit quick but Colin looked after him and he learned a lot from that race, we saw that there today. He has a wonderful turn of pace and will be a lovely mile-and-a-quarter horse too. He switched off beautifully today and relaxed beautifully and he has this excellent injection of speed but he's able to carry it over a distance. That's the key to it. Tarnawa has so much pace but she carries it over a mile-and-a-half and this horse has a turn of pace but can carry it over the trip. We had him very well today, mentally he was beautifully relaxed and everything went according to plan.

He did that very nicely and did what we expected him to do. He's a lovely colt,. He was probably unlucky not to win in Galway but he's progressed from that and learned from that day. You could call him a winner a long way down there. He'll have one more run this year in a group race. I'll speak with Maurice Regan and see which one we'll pick. He's a very smart colt and a lovely horse to look forward to, a potential Guineas horse for next year.
