Winning trainer Aidan O'Brien said, "He's an unbelievable horse, he's the real deal. He had pins in his legs last year and he had bad fractures in his legs after Goodwood as a two-year-old. Last year we were never really able to train him as he was semi-lame all the time. He wasn't able to use himself the way he is able to this year and he's very athletic now. This year he's shown more pace but you'd say he wouldn't have a problem going further than a mile and a quarter either. He has a lot of options open to him."
Jockey John Murtagh added, "He was the first horse I rode when I came back from Dubai. He's up there with the best horses I've ever ridden and today was the big target. He's been showing speed at home and I ride him in a lot of his work. As Aidan says, if we had five or six like him we'd be very happy."
