It's great to get our first winner for Al Shaqab (Racing) - we haven't had many runners for them and it's great to get the first win. He had been working smartly at home, but had been off the track for a long time so today was very much about getting him started. I thought it was a good performance against some good solid horses. He obviously had a hold-up in France, was off the track for an extended period of time with an injury and we have him for the last few months. We've liked him since he arrived, he will head for stakes level and is a nice horse going forward. He was a little keen and fresh in the race, I think he'll stay further and there is a Listed race in Cork over a mile which he could potentially go to, but we'll see how he pulls up first.
