'He's training well and definitely deserves his place' - trainer quotes for their Nunthorpe contenders
Michael Dods, trainer of Azure Blue
The Nunthorpe is what we're thinking at the moment and she's in good form. It's a big call coming down to five furlongs in a race like that but she's not short of speed. She got caught on the outside in sticky ground at Newmarket.
Mick Appleby, trainer of Big Evs
We're not going to decide until the day we have to supplement him and we'll look at what the ground's going to be. If it's good or good to firm, I'd say we're 99 per cent certain to supplement him but if it looks like being soft he'd be doubtful.
Archie Watson, trainer of Bradsell
I've been very happy with him since Ascot and the Nunthorpe remains the plan.
