After race at Curragh Sat, 6th Aug, 2022 (1st) 
Before the race we had a bit of a scare with him when he came up here. He kicked a wall and the clip of the shoe went into his foot. He was a little bit tender when the shoe was put back on. It could have went either way very easily so it was a great call by John Halley and Lynn Hillyer to let him run. Ryan said when he let him go it was all over. He’d been progressing from every run. He ran here the last day with the view of going for this race. He loves good ground so he can show his speed. It was a very good race but he has serious class. From day one we thought he was a bit special. At Ascot we thought he would get away with five even though we were happy going six with him. The lads can decide what they want to do. He has plenty of options and he can do anything I suppose. I’m not sure we ever had one to do that in this race. It was a deep field. I’m over the moon for Joseph. I know how hard he works, it’s everyday 24 hours.

We're delighted with him. He's always shown a lot, he came here the first day and then improved lovely to win the next day,. Obviously we were delighted with him in Ascot and he was lovely here today, Ryan was very happy with him. He's a lovely smooth traveller, he's very uncomplicated. He's very happy to make the running and very happy to sit in. Ryan said he couldn't believe how easily he was going down past the two today. He said when he asked him the response was very quick. You'd have to be very happy with him. Even though he's big he's very strong and mature, he's powerful. We've always liked him a lot and from day one he was always showing plenty. Interestingly Ryan said today that he could be a Dewhurst horse or a National Stakes horse. Obviously he's running through the line when he's saying that. That's a good sign.
