When he went to Naas he was big in the parade ring that day. I hadn't been too hard on him after Ascot and he surprised me. That shows that he's just improving all the time.

Big open stride of a horse suited over distance. He's one of the most exciting horses in the country.

The horse was a colt last year when he ran in the (Melbourne) Cup and it didn't really go to plan. He went forward and there was a lot of pressure, but he's a gelding now and I think he's a lot more genuine.
