'Frankie [Dettori] said he was very pleased with him and we are right on course for the Mile. He worked well at home in Dubai last weekend so everything has gone well.'
Saeed bin Suroor, trainer of Creachadoir
'At Monmouth Park [second in the Breeders' Cup Mile] the draw was against him, as was the ground with it shifting underneath him. The ground here is beautiful and it's a lovely track so that will be a big help. He has not done as much racing as Dylan Thomas but he is a good, tough honest horse and we're hoping for a good run.'
Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Excellent Art
'He's best when fresh and Douglas Whyte was very pleased with his work yesterday and his confidence is good enough for me. He has a nice draw and I hope he travels just behind the pace.'
Dennis Yip, trainer of Down Town
'He'll run a great race. He's going to be a big price but the old boy will go out with his head held high. I'm not saying he'll win in a very strong race, but it won't be a surprise to me if he manages a place.'
