'When your confidence is up you make the right calls and that's what Egan did'

From a tactical perspective, Saturday's World Trophy at Newbury was a fascinating race. The winner Mitbaahy wasn't the quickest to react to the gates opening and therefore wasn't the swiftest into stride.

Barry McHugh moulded the race from a pace angle as he took the lead aboard Look Out Louis from stall three. It looked very, very strong.

From David Egan's body language on Mitbaahy early on, you could see he wasn't travelling with that much fluency as he was having to organise his horse. He was almost pulling the bit up in his mouth and keeping good contact with the reins rather than letting him off the bit and pushing him along.
