Dan Skelton: "Dundee was very, very tough there. We liked him the second we got him. He was well found. Tom Malone rang up these owners who said they might have a horse with us one day - they're Tom's clients - it's just weird how it all comes together but they're good supporters of the industry and I'm chuffed to bits for them.
"It would be remiss of me not to say what he's by and that's Postponed who stands in the UK and I've been very impressed with this horse's attitude from the start. If that's a trait from that sire then hopefully he can get a lot of support from the British breeders.
"I didn't have a plan after today. I thought we were biting off a big lump today and didn't know if it would happen or not because we were in the dark a little. The race he won at Worcester was a long way from this level of form. Harry Atkins said he got a big feel off him and that gave us the confidence to come here and dip our toe in and he looked like he enjoyed that a lot more than most horses enjoy that type of weather."
Verdict
9 New Grange looks very well considering but 1 Berkstar and 13 Willow Tide pick of the paddock.
Parade ring updates
10 Par Avion (first entry below) - looks well.
9 New Grange - nice type. Looks well.
10 Par Avion - heavy sheet. Will wait 'til removed.
13 Willow Tide - looks very fit and well.
2 Cameron De Fiacre - fine, looks in need of the run somewhat.
6 Junior Minister - good walker, fit, doesn't look out of place here, positive.
4 Groovy Train - only okay, lacks scope, others appeal more.
5 Hoo's The Jet - as per Ascot, isn't the biggest and this paddock looking stronger.
3 Dundee Law (first entry below) - starting to grind teeth.
1 Berkstar - well filled out already, good walker, well forward.
3 Dundee Law - well filled out, fit and well, if still a little green/tense
7 Lord Churchill - an absolute giant, needs fences already. Likely to find this too sharp a test.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr: "He was the one I've been waiting for. He's a great little horse, I really fancied him. We thought maybe the Welsh Champion Hurdle might have been his Gold Cup but the last week he had improved massively and schooled Friday - I really couldn't see him getting beat to be honest.
"Henry Morshead, Anthea's son, is my lifelong best friend. We went to school together, he lived with me when he was at Ciren[cester] and he's doing great things for George Boughey as a bloodstock agent now. Peter Beaumont, I think he got his trainer's licence the same day as Dad and Dad used to ride with the late Stan Morshead as well so a proper family occasion this and I'm delighted.
"He's a great little horse, a homebred by Anthea and he's just improved the whole way through. To win these races is great."
Verdict
We'll take 19 The Hardest Geezer and 11 Helnwein best pair.

Brian Hughes: "He just idled when Richie's horse make the mistake. Obviously you feel for James [Bowen} on days like today because he's at home with a broken arm and these situations aren't making it any easier for him. I've been friendly with the Bowens and they've always thrown me a few spares and I appreciate it when they pick up the phone.
"It was quite slippy on the way round and people were losing their footing but he was very, very sure-footed. When I was asking him, he didn't really enjoy coming up, he gets in under the fences and he's quite quick from A to B. He's a horse that they think is improving and it's a hell of a training performance to get him fit, first run of the season for a three and a half mile chase. I think Mickey Bowen is a name you are going to hear plenty about. They're all grafters, roll their sleeves up and do a day's work; it's a pleasure to ride a winner for them."
Parade ring update
Rug off the 2 King Of Answers - is fine. Worth pointing out the 7 Ask Brewster as this was the only fit Evan Williams horse at Chepstow last year and he's every bit as good today
Verdict
Best are 7 Ask Brewster and 4 Double Powerful.
Parade ring updates
2 King Of Answers - looks quality. Can’t make full judgement until sheet comes off.
9 U Cant Be Serious (first entry below) - fit and forward for reappearance.
6 Guard The Moon - fine, doesn't jump out.
4 Double Powerful - looks very well. Very fit.
1 Resplendent Grey - big strapping chaser. Looks well but will improve for the run.
7 Ask Brewster - lovely chaser and very fit, as he was at Chepstow when winning last year.
3 Monbeg Genius - looks well and looks ready. Very fit considering the absence
8 Holokea - nice type. Will improve for the run.
9 U Cant Be Serious - looks well considering the lay-off. Big chasing type. Will come on further for the run.

Ciaran Gethings: "That's as good a buzz as I've had riding one for a long time. He's about 15 hands but he's class. I didn't speak to Jane [Williams] about riding, when I got on him I said I'd just let him jump and run and let him enjoy himself. That was a good four minutes.
"He's just push button, his jumping is very good and he's probably a strong staying two miler. That was a lot of fun."
Verdict
8 Shakeyatailfeather best.
Parade ring updates
2 Boothill (first entry below) - looks okay.
4 Classic Maestro (first entry below) - looks okay. On toes.
6 Femme Magnifique - looks well.
4 Classic Maestro - okay.
2 Boothill - heavy sheet on and can’t access at present.
7 Larzac - looks well.
9 Tour Ovalie - looks well.
5 Jony R - is thick set type. Proper chaser. Looks well but may improve for the run.
8 Shakeyatailfeather - looks fit and well.
10 Authoceltic - very fit. On the petite side but looks well.
3 Highlands Legacy - big, chasing type. Looks well after a lay-off. Is fit but improve for the run.

Sean Bowen: "I thought I had a big chance three out. The bend is actually a bit greasy and I was cautious of that a little bit and missed two out but he went down and winged the last and found plenty from it. Sam's horse just jammed the breaks on in front and my lad kept going.
"He probably wouldn't have won but he'd have been a lot closer the last day [hampered] so he came here with a big chance. The whole way round I was thinking I'd love an extra half a mile just to keep me in the race but he's a good attitude which counts for a lot."
Verdict
4 Spectacularsunrise and 13 Sinchi Roca best two in the paddock.
Parade ring updates
1 Captain Cool - all in proportion, is fine, others better.
9 Four Springs - leggy chaser but very fit and well.
10 Sony Bill - Not a lot of size to him, neat enough but others better.
12 Dig Deep (first entry below) - WITHDRAWN, NON-RUNNER
13 Sinchi Roca - very fit and has size, does not look out of place here.
6 Turndlightsdownlow - fit, but has been all autumn.
11 Pourquoi Pas Papa - very fit with good coat, no issues, looks well.
7 The Gray Ghost - two handlers, red hood. Was already fit at Ascot (was paddock pick then) and looks fine again here.
12 Dig Deep - is a nice type. Just getting on toes a little. Looks well but likely improve for the run after a layoff.
4 Spectacularsunrise - looks very fit. Nice stamp. Relaxed in pre-parade.
Full result and report
- GET OUT OF MY WAY 100/30
- Wolf Rayet 7/4 favourite
- En Or 7/1

Jack Hogan: "This is a good horse. He's got all the right attributes, slight bit quirky at times but he's a proper one I think. He's a proper chasing type of horse, he does everything so well. He's gorgeous to look at and he's even better to ride.
"I think it's slow side of good, probably still quick enough in parts, but I think by the end of the day it will open up and be nicer ground."
Verdict
5 Get Out Of My Way and 8 Lion Rose Sivola best pair.
Parade ring updates
3 Dernier Set (first entry below) - getting on toes now in main paddock.
1 Airds Moss (first entry below) - nice size. In main paddock and relaxed. Nice type.
1 Airds Moss - looks okay.
6 Island Getaway - some size to him, but equally will keep improving; others better on looks today.
13 Tide Is Turning - nice type, walks well, perhaps one for later down the line.
4 En Or - looks very well. Fit. Nice type.
12 Super Junior - strong, tall, well made and fit, plenty of definition, good looker.
10 Mourne Crystal - quite a compact type, more a hurdler than chaser; fit, but others make more appeal.
14 Wolf Rayet - always made appeal last year, and has grown again; two handlers, red hood and is a little keen, just needs to get settled.
3 Dernier Set - not the finished article, growing and filling out to do, still high at the back.
8 Lion Rose Sivola - very attractive grey, chaser all day long and that's where his future lies; strong, fit, appeals.
2 Arc Zoosve - looks like what he is, a Flat horse, and others make a lot more appeal here.
5 Get Out Of My Way - good size, lengthy and makes appeal, fit.
