Tough , consistent and high class addition to the stayers ranks, he had a fine season last year winning 3 times, the first at Royal Ascot in June taking the 1m 6f group 2 Queens Vase by 4 ½ l from Southern France, then Group 1 Grand Prix De Paris at Longchamp, beating Neufbosc 1 1/4l, and finally 1m 6f Group 1 St Leger stakes at Doncaster, beating La Ti Dar 2 ¼ l. I between he ran well at Lingfield in May finishing 2nd over 1m 4f in the Derby Trial beaten 3 ¼ l by Knight To Behold, finished 9th in the  Epsom Derby, 27 l behind Masar, and 3rd in the group 2 1m 4f Great Voltigeur stakes at York, 1 ¾ l behind Old Persian. Whether he can get near Stradivarius time will tell but he should pick up some decent races if given the chance. Speaking to the punter recently Aiden told the punter, "He is in good form. The Coronation Cup is a race we are looking to aim him towards. I think the plan would be to start over a mile and a half somewhere, then take in the Coronation Cup before going for the King George. He stays very well and has plenty of options over a longer trip if we want to do that."
