t;That was fantastic. I was relieved there because the runs were coming strong there down out wide. He deserved it. He made all of the running and kicked well. The horse has come back so well this preparation and keeps improving. I am delighted for everyone involved,” said Adrian Bott.

"He’s a So You Think and They are later maturing, they excel once they get over a bit of a trip. His half-brother (Unite and Conquer) we had here favourite for the Magic Millions 2YO race. I think that year Bluebloods came back and bought his half-brother and here we are in the staying race."
