"We're on a retrieval mission with him. He probably ran the race of his life in Hong Kong nearly two years ago to finish eight and a half lengths behind Lucky Sweynesse and it absolutely bottomed him. We're struggling to find evidence he's forgiven us for it but he's back training after a break and is off a potentially dangerous mark if we can rekindle the fire. 09-04-25"

"He has been a real money-spinner for his owners and he had some top-class form last year, namely a neck second in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes followed by a second of 20 in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. This year we took him out to Doha for the Group 3 Dukhan Sprint, which he won under a fine ride from Oisin Murphy to net £190,000 in prize-money. He's had only one run back here when finishing mid-division in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. He has to have the ground on the quick side to be at his most effective. The Haydock Sprint Cup on decent ground would be a target and then I suspect we'll be looking to geld him. After that he'd have a break before going back to Doha this winter. 17-08-23"
