I was delighted with his comeback at Newbury and he just bumped into one at Haydock on Saturday. He ran with amazing credit and we'll look for a similar type of race. I'd be happy to bring him back to two miles on deep ground because, while he looks like he'll stay further, he's still only five and there's no rush at this stage.
