Opinion Poll...Where Next?


Michael Jarvis is eyeing further staying prizes for Opinion Poll following his battling success in the Lonsdale Cup at York.

The trainer has always been of the opinion that his charge is better in softer conditions but he overcame the quicker ground to record his first win in Group company on Wednesday.

"We just got away with the ground. I've never said he doesn't go on decent ground, he's just better when it's soft. Some horses won't go on firm ground. He does go on it, but he's a few pounds better with some cut. Hopefully it bodes well for the rest of the season and there aren't that many options left for him," said Jarvis.
