JAMES Doyle was brilliant on Sea Of Class on Saturday, patience again at the root of the rider’s performance.

He sat last of the seven runners, resisted the temptation to go down the brave man’s route among his Ballydoyle rivals on the inside, forsook some ground in order to stay wide and keep things simple. He also resisted the urge to pick up his stick, no doubt cognisant of the fact that his filly had swished her tail when he did so at Newbury.
