It was like an apprentice having his first ride.

He ran flat. He was the first horse beaten. He just isn't showing his form at the moment.

I didn't know I was going to win it until the last 20 yards or so because I couldn't shake Brass Hat off. He kept coming back.

The horse was very special and I was part of the Dubai Millennium fairytale. So to have something like this in the Godolphin museum is very good.

He could win it and go on why not? He's done nothing wrong. He just lacks experience. He's got to tackle the big boys sooner or later, so Saturday should be a good test for him.

I'm not confident, but his first test was good. It's difficult competition on Saturday.
