Richard Hannon’s colt impressed hugely in first-time blinkers when winning the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes but was last seen trailing home behind American superstar Wise Dan in the Breeders’ Cup Mile on firm ground at Santa Anita.

Dettori has ridden the four-year-old several times at home but has yet to win on him in two track outings – a statistic he will be hoping to change after the first Group One of the season for the older horses.
