Key trainer quotes looking ahead to the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap on October 12


Gordon Elliott, trainer of Samui and Ndaawi
Samui has been in cracking form and ran another big race at Chester the other day so we will certainly have a think about the Cesarewitch for him. Ndaawi was second in the Galway Hurdle last time and he's only four. We hope there are plenty more big days in him and we'll consider the Cesarewitch for him as well. They are both nice stayers and I hope there's more to come from both of them.

Harry Eustace, trainer of Divine Comedy
At this stage, I would say that she is more likely to run in the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh on September 29 than our own race. The ground and trip will suit her better over there as it's not as soft as ours sometimes is and it's more prize money. She has entries before then but she's an unlikely runner in those.
