He added WOODFIRE CHAMP did not travel well throughout the event which he attributed to the visors being removed from the horse.
He said, in his view, WOODFIRE CHAMP would be better suited by being dropped back in distance and the reapplication of visors.

Recap by phillip woo
Cool Blue settled one off in midfield and responded nicely to overhaul Beau Gosse 10m out for a maiden win at his 25th start. He was able to strike at his second run for his new trainer on his return to the Valley 1,650m of two pleasing efforts last year. Beau Gosse kept on gamely for second after moving to the lead 200m out after a speed-tracking run outside Super Treasure from gate seven. He can produce a good run now and then. Podium made good ground late to just win a photo for third after making his run two from the rear. He's run very well to place in each of his three Valley 1,650m runs this term. Tradition just lost third after a rails run from midfield. It was another honest performance. Post-time favourite Harry's Hero ran on nicely to just miss the frame after getting held up for a clear run until the 180m following a rails run from behind midfield. It was another positive showing after a near win last Wednesday when retrying the Valley 1,650m. Early favourite Tattenham only plodded after a prominent run one off with cover. Brown-lamped in betting, On The Lash had no excuse after a box-seat run.
