Everybody concerned has been completely good and the end result was plain to see at Sandown. He was most likely solely 80% match, so to do what he did beneath an enormous weight was much more spectacular. He has come out of the race in fine condition and we’ll look to Goodwood and the circumstances race which had been his authentic goal. He should have minimize within the floor, but when it got here up actually tender we could also be tempted by the Sussex Stakes!
