I was amazed with the way Paul rode him, I thought he’d be much more forward, I didn’t dream that he’d only be fifth or sixth jumping the fourth-last. But he just rode him with supreme confidence. I thought he’d make more use of his stamina, but Paul seemed to ride him for speed today and he clearly felt there was enough in the ground to take it out of the horses in front of him. But when jockeys are riding with confidence, they can do things like that and I feel that’s the way he’s been riding all season. He’s a fantastic jockey.

State Man (FR) wore earplugs throughout the race.
At the top of hill on the final circuit Iberico Lord (FR), which was later pulled up, became momentarily short of room on the rail, on the inside of Colonel Mustard (FR), placed fifth, who was awkwardly placed on the heels of Luccia (GB), placed third.
After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and had not improved the placing of either Colonel Mustard (FR) or Luccia (GB).
The performance of Iberico Lord (FR), which was pulled up, was considered.
It was noted that Nicky Henderson could offer no explanation for the gelding’s explanation.
