The Gavin Van Zyl-trained No Worries has come out of his win in the Highland Night Cup over 2400m at Scottsville on Sunday well.

Stable jockey Warren Kennedy said he had always been a good horse who was just a few lengths off the best, so a staying campaign would suit him because firstly the competition was not as strong and secondly he had proven his liking for the trip on Sunday by winning going away despite carrying joint topweight of 61,5kg.

“It is just nice to have him back to himself and the win might bring renewed confidence,” added Kennedy.

It was only the second time the six-year-old Summerhill-bred Kahal gelding had attempted the trip. The eLan Property Group Gold Cup looks to be on the cards.
