Winning Trainer: Tony & Maddysen Sears (Tony speaking)
Birthday celebrations: "It's our lovely daughter's birthday today, Maddysen. I'll probably have to take this percentage today as she couldn't turn up. She's at home organising a few things. We're having a good party for her tonight. There's about 70 people going, so that will be good. (25th birthday)"
On the horse: "He goes good. He's been unlucky and was the only maiden in the race. The only thing I was worried about was probably the trip. If it was a mile it would have suited him a bit better. He'll turn out a nice horse later on.
"I said to Jimmy that he had been unlucky at his last couple of starts. He's a little bit silly in the head. He doesn't know what he is doing. Hopefully he'll come good.
Winning Jockey: James Orman
Getting there late: "Got there right where it mattered. He did a few things wrong, but he's a horse with good upside. He's doing a few things wrong, wanting to get a bit keen in the run, but they went slow but it looks like he wants a bit further anyway.
"When I brought him out, he was wobbling around, but that's just him. When the penny drops, he'll be alright."
