Winning Trainer: Danny O’Brien
“We played to our strengths today. Once he began we had that tactic of trying to break them from the front. He ran those really slick sectionals and made it difficult for them to get on his back.
“He was entitled to shorten up late but I thought he was really good.”
Can he get 1400: “I don’t know. His wind isn’t great. He’s a horse that has had a wind operation already so you’ve always got to be cautious of that. We’ve found something he does very well. As a two-year-old in The Showdown, and today, 1200 metres on-pace.
“He’ll only get 50-kilos in the Newmarket so getting him back down the straight - he’s won down the straight so see what he can do there.
“He’ll be really aided by the handicapper. That goes a long way.”
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
“He flew the lids and we had a plan today to control the race and let home flow. I did that and he was too good.
Past breathing issues: “I think it is a cast of letting things flow with him. I’ve done a lot of work with him in the spring and this time in. You have to be conscious of those things knowing so much.
“But we thought that if he was to race that way that would be his best chance for breathing properly and getting the result.”
