After race at Leopardstown Thu, 13th Jul, 2017 (1st) 
A mile is his trip at the minute, very much like his mother. Just draw a line through Ascot for every one of mine. I started watching it on the couch and ended up under the couch watching it!. That’s a nice pot for a three-year-old. We debated whether we would run him or not as his work hasn’t been great. I thought Colin was exceptional on him, and it will be more of the same for the minute.

It's nice, we trained the dam (Lightening Pearl). We thought last year that he was that type of horse and Colin rode him in Naas and said to bring him back to a mile. He has pace for the mile and better ground and then this race just fell. It's nice to win your maiden before you do things like this but with the prize money on offer today (29,500 to the winner) you are breaking your maiden for that prize money. It's not to be sniffed at. The race just cut up nicely for him. A mile and a quarter he'll get. He loves the good ground. Anywhere between eight and ten furlongs we'll be campaigning him and we hope he progresses into a Listed-type horse for the dam. I think he has to improve significantly to do that. Everything just fell right for us today but it's nice to be able to cash in.
