Winning Trainer: Louise White

"He's a beautiful horse and it's a great result for the owner, I've trained for him from the beginning. He hasn't been in the best of health but winning races is the best form of medicine, so I'm sure this will perk him up."

"He got balloted out of the BRC Sprint so we had come up with another plan, and it's all worked out perfectly in the end. He's a lovely happy horse to have around the stable, so it's great to get a result like this and for the staff to be rewarded for all their efforts.

Winning Jockey: Larry Cassidy

"All honours to Louise and her staff, because they've done a great job with this guy. He really isn't an easy horse to ride, you have to bounce him and ride him hard early, but then you can't restrain him.

"At about the 700-metre mark I had to get off Kyle Wilson-Taylor's back, because I just couldn't hold the horse any more. So I was happy to be three wide, because if you let him flow into the race he enjoys it. His previous two starts, even though he hasn't been beaten far, he hasn't been able to flow into the race but today was a different story."
