He has had a few problems and was running into form recently so delighted to get the right side of a close one there. He ran well in Gowran and ran well the previous day in Gowran so he had two goodish runs and, obviously, his handicap mark had dropped which gave him a chance anyway. Good to get him back here, hopefully there might be another one along the way. The race was set up well for him and I thought two down he might win snug but it got a bit slow then for a while, but he battled strong in the end.

He was entitled to do that. It's the last claimer on the programme, he's a genuine 84 horse and he's served us well. I'd presume he will be claimed and wish the new party the best of luck. He's a very genuine horse that loves it around here and loves good ground during the summer.

He's a nice horse to have around the place,. There is a big one in him and he could hit it or miss it depending on the luck on the day, he's that type of horse. He's rock solid and I think he'll get a mile-and-two. He's learning, he was very immature.

He was having his first run in a handicap. He has done well from the winter into the spring and now into the summer he has really filled out well. We were a little worried about the ground drying out - he wants good ground but being a big horse, didn't want it good to firm. Sam said he hit the ridges through inexperience but won going away and we'll see what the handicapper does. He'll learn a lot form that, we'll take baby steps and it's a good start.

We made a mistake running this lad back in June as he was big and weak. He showed us something from the word go but we should have given him right up until now. It’s a bonus that he’s won as he’s so honest and has a lovely temperament. I’d say that’s it for this year and we’ll pay him back now and give him time out. We’ll look forward to the spring. He’s a nice horse.
