Winning trainer Andre Fabre said, "He got boxed in last year and is a horse who needs space. I don't want to blame jockeys before but Stephane had a clear run this time. He's a top-class miler and pace is not a problem for him. I was a little worried with the distance last year but I'm convinced he'll get a mile and a half. He's entered in the King George and the Arc as the obvious target."
Winning owner Baron Georg von Ullmann added, "It is amazing, we've been here a few times but a winner had never come our way. It's a dream. He was very unlucky last year. He had three or four rides where he was in the wrong position and perhaps he could have won more races. Pasquier fits the horse very well and they are a marriage made in heaven."
Aidan O'Brien, trainer of runner-up Dylan Thomas said, "We are delighted, he's run really well. We've no excuses with the ground as it was right for him. There's nothing planned at the moment."
