Hamilton

"Her owners aren't bothered about the all-weather and nor am I now. She was seventh at Newcastle at the end of August. I was looking forward to a more positive run, but because they never go any gallop at Newcastle, it didn't show her in the best light and it wasn't her true running. She's much better than that. I have to say I threw her in at the deep end a little bit at Carlisle last week, when she was sixth in quite a hot maiden, but her owners wanted her to run there and I do seem to be very good at training winners at Carlisle. We'll take it day by day now and see how she is. She'll be better again next year. 17-09-25"

"We've had him for a year. He's shown bits of promise here and there and his last run was quite good when third behind our own Straya. I don't think he's any kind of worldbeater but he might go up in trip and improve for that. He ran well over 1m2f at Ayr last week, and I think I'd like to step him up to 1m4f, but he's only three and so there's not a lot of opportunities to do that at the moment. We'll just to have to sit tight and wait, especially if we don't want to be travelling hours and hours down the road. He'll probably be out again when we get a bit of rain. 17-07-25"
