I'm delighted to give Liam Gilligan a winner. He rides out for me at home and he gave it a great ride. We'll probably stick at that having gone out in trip with him now. That's probably more like it, two-six or three miles. The rain today is welcome. I don't know how much more is forecast but it's getting more like winter weather here.

I thought the ground might me a bit quick for him coming up here but it’s beautiful ground,. He’s got bits and pieces of form, and as a three-year-old here he was only beaten about a length over 1m5f. Things haven’t fallen right for him, and we’ve run him over an inadequate trip a few times. The ground was right, the trip was right and the ride was right.
