Roger Varian remains convinced Molatham can leave his defeat supporting and develop into a performer that is Pattern-race next season.
The Newmarket handler considers soft earth was at fault for the Night Of Thunder colts modification, on his very first start over a mile from the Group Three contest at Newmarket on Saturday.
Previously the Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned two-year-old had chalked up wins at a maiden at Doncaster at also a Listed event and York, having discovered only Mums Tipple too powerful.
Varian explained:I think hes a top of the earth horse. He travelled into it nicely, but he could quicken heading a mile for the first time.
I believe he will end up being a good horse next year. I dont think the track was a issue, I believe mainly he was found by the floor out .
Jim (Crowley) said he is obviously quite a quick horse and next year per mile is up to he wants to proceed. Maybe his stamina on the floor stretched him a bit.
While strategies remain fluid regarding goals for Molatham, Varian hasnt ruled him from running over course and distance.
He added:You have to respect the kind of his Listed triumph in Doncaster and hes good solid shape throughout his first few starts.
We must see how he winters before we start thinking about him Guineas horse, but we did think about him before this rush and I dont think we should really be set off thinking that manner.
