However, he has been stretched out over a mile on his previous three outings, with his best run of the season so before this weekend when he was second in the Irish 2000 Guineas. After a flop in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, his champion trainer opted to drop him back in trip for the £500,000 Newmarket feature.
