Winning Trainer: Chris Waller
"It was all happening and it was good to see racing like that. Probably the omen one being a Derby winner a few years back.
"Even last year he found form up here as well. He certainly loves it up here and a great ride from James.
"Just a nice sentimental win."
Winning Jockey: James McDonald
Horse likes Eagle Farm: "He does and he's a fighter, too. When that one joined him to the outside, it felt like he was always going ro get there but even though it was a short margin he's a tough horse."
