Winning Trainer: Liam Birchley

"I favoured the other one, to be honest, because the track dried out and they both worked together on Tuesday and there wasn't much between them at all.

"She (stablemate Dream Smart) just came off the bit a little bit far out but kept on fighting and he had the turn-of-foot at the end of the day.

"It is a great result because he was unlucky last and hopefully got a bit of confidence today."

Next: "Not sure. It was his first go at 1100 today so it opens up a few more possibilities. We'll see how he comes through it. Wherever it is raining.

"He has found it hard to regulate his pace early and he is still inclined to go a bit keen if he doesn't get cover.

On Dream Smart: "She was ok. Just came off the bit a bit early. Maybe she wants a bit further now. She did battle on well though."

Winning Jockey: Jag Guthmann-Chester

"I was very adamant that last start he should have won if I'd have had a bit more room. I just felt that he wasn't happy in between horses.

"Liam gave me instructions to get behind them and get cover, settle, and he'll run a strong 1100. It mapped perfectly. He switched off and once he had more room he let down a lot better today.

"I think he's quite a fierce horse going within himself so when he's in amongst them he gets a bit flustered and put off a bit.

"When he gets clear air you can go with him more and he has a good turn-of-foot."
