An impeccably bred colt, his sire a Derby winner, the dam an Oaks winner, he could be an outstanding 4 year old.  He made his debut as a 2 year old at Newbury at the back end of October 2015, finishing 6th in a 1m maiden, beaten 5 ¼ l by Algometer. He reappeared at Leicester in April last year, finishing 2nd to Imperial Aviator , beaten ½ l over 1m 2f in a maiden stakes, then stepped up at Newbury in May, winning a 1m 2f maiden by a taking 8l from New World Power. That earned him a place in the Derby, but he had a troubled run and was given a n easy time once beaten and finished only 12th behind Harzand, beaten 23l. He showed up much better at Goodwood in July taking the group 3 Gordon Stakes over 1m 4f by ½ l from The Major General. He was then a bit disappointing when only 2nd at Windsor in a 1m 2f group 3, beaten a short head by Chain of Daisies, and finished the season with a creditable 4th at Santa Anita in the 1m 4f group 1 Breeders Cup Turf, beaten 6 ¼ l by Highland Reel. His first Major entry is the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the end of May.

Trainer Sir M Stoute.
