We’re delighted with him. His three runs this year, since he came back from Dubai, the ground has gone on him every time. Chris even said he took a blow on him there at the furlong pole, so there should be a lot of improvement to come in him. We’ve always believed he’s a proper horse. We’ll look at Hong Kong later on with him and he’ll be back to Dubai for the winter. We’ll bring him back a little bit quicker next year. Hopefully he’ll start off in the Temple Stakes (at Haydock), and the King’s Stand (at Royal Ascot) will be his early-season target. This year he needed a break at that time of the year (after Dubai) because he would have been in training for two years at the end of this year had we not given him the break. There is a big international campaign for him and with that in mind we gave him the break. He’s come back and he’s thrived for it. Darren Bunyan, trainer
