The 5-year-old has established himself as one of the world’s top sprinters and winning both the July Cup and Prix De La Foret in 2016. Disappointing at Meydan, in March, but should be a major player in this race.

Magnificent, in the Spring of 2016, when scoring back-to-back successes in the Abernant Stakes and the Duke of York Stakes. Gave fans plenty to feel optimistic about, when runner-up in the Duke of York Stakes on seasonal reappearance at York.
