Last time out

Finished 2 in the Juddmonte International Stakes (Group 1) at York on 19 August 2026. Settled in the pack early - progress worked from the 3f marker into contention - upped tempo to challenge close up passing the 2f point then went in front approaching the final furlong - driven out but caught close home to finish second by a short margin.
