Margins: Nose x 1¼L

Winning Trainer: Mat Ellerton & Simon Zahra (Mat speaking)

On the photo: “It looked a bit too close for me (to pick). He just idled a bit out in front there.”

“Very good. I thought he might’ve been in behind the speed, but ended up sharing the lead. He’s a horse that can float a bit. He’s probably got a bit tired in the end, too.

Towards Blue Diamond: “That’s a decision to be made because we’ve got to pay a late entry fee. We’ll have that conversation during the week and see how he pulls up.”

Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah

On the photo: “When I saw the (camera) car kept pulling up towards Ollie I thought ‘damn it’. I’d really thought I’d got it (before that). Coming back I was relieved to see that I did.”

“He just needs pace because he’s got so much left and he was just idling and pricking his ears. I’d love for them to push on to the Diamond. I think they’ll get what they need, they’ll get some pace and I think he’ll be a different horse chasing.”

Hinting that the horse should proceed to the Diamond & Kah is yet to commit to a mount: “I still think he’s got a lot more to give and he’s just doing enough at the minute.”
