Winning Trainer: Chris Waller (Stable rep Brett Killion speaking)

On the win: "Just her class (showed) there. She's a class horse, she was able to carry the weight and James plotted a perfect path. "

On jumping from barrier one and how the race panned out: "It was perfect because we're going to be stepping up in trip, so drawing one we didn't want to bustle her. No-one wanted to cross early so she had two furlongs and she found herself within four (lengths) of the leaders half-way through the race and that just put her in the right spot. "

Plans going forward: "I don't know her program but she will be stepping up in trip."

Winning Jockey: James McDonald

On Thalassophile being such a professional: "Absolutely she is (a professional) and she plowed through the wet conditions as well. Credit to her, she had 60 kilos and it was a big effort. So she's in for a good preparation. "

On jumping from barrier one: "Nothing wrong with it."
