The winning trainer was exceptionally pleased with the performance of his runner.
He said that despite the unpredictable track, he did well. He stated that: "Conditions were demanding, but he handled similar in France, where he practically lived last year, travelling so often he had a 'frequent flyer' pass for the tunnel.
"No horse loves that ground, but he handled it. He did it well, as he was beaten, then came back, and showed a lot of guts."
