'I think if he'd have got a run he'd have won' - trainer quotes for the Commonwealth Cup

William Haggas, trainer of Sky Majesty & Realign
Sky Majesty is fine but I should never have run her at Chelmsford first time out as she didn't take to the surface. She's an intended runner. Realign is in good shape but I'm not sure he's ready for a race like the Commonwealth Cup yet. 

Simon Crisford, joint-trainer of Arabian Dusk & Soldier's Heart
Arabian Dusk ran a terrific race to be second in the Sandy Lane at Haydock last weekend and the Commonwealth Cup looks the natural next step for her. Soldier's Heart is set to run at Chantilly on Sunday, which will be his first start of the year, and we hope he can make Royal Ascot after that. 

Mick Appleby, trainer of Big Mojo
The Commonwealth Cup is still the plan. He got no luck in running at Haydock last time, he was stuck behind a wall of horses. He was full of running and I think if he'd have got a run he'd have won, but he just never got any luck. You can put a line through that run.
