Highly touted English three-year-old. Eye-catching second in the King George V at Royal Ascot - a race that has previously produced future Lexus Melbourne Cup aspirants. Strong win in the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket followed by a fast-finishing second in the Gordon Stakes (Hoo Ya Mal behind), but his win in one of England's best three-year-old 2400m races - the Great Voltigeur at York - confirmed him as a leading Cup contender. He is a first runner for emerging talent James Ferguson, while jockey Kerrin McEvoy can join Bobbie Lewis and Harry White as a four-time winner.
