Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace (rep by Lucy Yeomans)

“Full credit to the team at home. It is hard keeping these stayers up and going. Especially to his strapper, Tristan. He just loves this horse. Mollycoddles him every day but we allow it because the horse loves it and so does Tristan.

“We get a bit emotional the pair of us, which is ridiculous. We love this horse a lot and very excited for the spring.”

Looking forward: “We tend to not fully spell our stayers. He’ll probably have a week or two in the paddock, maybe then the waterwalker and then a bit of dressage work or beach work. He won’t have a big long holiday but he loves being in work so we’ll just freshen him up, keep him happy and plot a path to the spring.”

Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah

“He was very solid today. He’s just a great horse to ride in front because as soon as he hits the front he relaxes and drops the bit.

“He’s having a good little feud with Haky at the moment. He gets to the 800 (metre mark) and they eyeball each other.

“This horse is riding with so much confidence at the moment and he’s flying.

“I think the way the races are playing out they’re leaving him alone in front and he’s just gaining confidence and a horse with confidence, they grow a few legs. I think this will take him towards the spring in good stead.”
