I was never happy with the ride SM got there. Early position was fine but the pace was slow yet Murphy allowed him to drift back a couple of lengths unnecessarily. I thought early in the straight he might go and pick them up comfortably but Murphy's whip strokes looked to be fresh air ones bar one around the furlong marker by which time he was never going to get competitive.

Something at Goodwood, maybe?
