Fifth in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes (2414m) at Royal Ascot is world class form before controlling a slow speed at Longchamp to win narrowly. Good last time in second, finishing well clear of James J Braddock and Goodie Two Shoes at Leopardstown. Weighted to his best but handles all ground and almost never runs poorly.
