But he's got a long way to go to get to the Derby. It's entirely up to him how he copes along the way as to how far he'll go this spring. He ran only once last season because he was still immature and is not mentally there yet. But he's doing the right things and I hope he continues to go ahead. If he can't cope, I'll turn him out. -John Hawkes

I doubt he will run but you never rule anything out. I just want to see how he pulls up this week before I work out where we go with him.

We have good chances in most of the races and that's all you can ask. You need luck to win a race, anywhere.

It's all experience. He's still learning. The more experience he gets, the better he'll be.
