The Craftymaster has been a revelation. He used to be slow, but stayed. Now, when that was going to turn into a sprint, I was thinking you can't go wide as you'll never win, so just wait and see if you outstay them. He's put them to bed in half a furlong with his injection of speed. He's learning and getting better at everything he does. This was the first test of his mettle, a full field with horses who have been in very good form and he's up to it. I don't feel I'm at the bottom of him yet - I feel if something came at him he'd go again - William Carson, jockey, speaking on Sky Sports Racing.

The Craftymaster has developed late and we've been very lucky to have him. He's progressing really nicely. He's going up the grades slowly and he's coping with it. He stays very well and he's lazy through his races, so you'd like to think there's always just a tiny little bit left. We'll keep going forward - Tony Carroll, trainer, speaking to Sky Sports Racing.
