Progressed really nicely over the first part of the season, winning at Kempton and then following up in a listed event here on soft ground; where he was comfortably on top at the finish. He endured a rough passage when stepped into group 1 company at Royal Ascot, and that run can be forgiven. The stable excel and bringing a horse back after a break, he’s potentially better than his rivals today and should be hard to beat.
