After race at Leopardstown Thu, 10th Aug, 2017 (1st)

We always liked him and felt he would be comfortable at a mile and a half. We always thought he would be comfortable on nice ground. We were going to go to Goodwood and then the ground changed. He's a bit green and babyish but is a good colt. Seamie was happy to go along, and we would see if Johannes Vermeer was able to pick him up. He was getting a lot of weight. Seamie gave him a very good ride. He was left alone in front and was gone turning in. He could go for the Voltigeur next at York. Johannes Vermeer could go down to Australia for a race there.
