This horse has been looked after really well all of his life and it's great to win with him. He's getting older but he appears to have the right attitude. He doesn't like soft ground but the edge seems to be taken off today. There is another race here later in the year for him and I would love to run him in the Nunthorpe Stakes and he really likes France so we might also go for the Prix de L'abbaye.
