Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Wednesday), best odds 5-1
He’s fine after Ireland, where he was narrowly beaten in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. He did everything right bar win, but the winner [Los Angeles] had race-fitness and it just told in the last 50 yards. I was thrilled with him and you don’t see many travel in Group 1s the way he did. It was a proper race and we were chuffed to bits with him. He’s come out of it well and, as long as it’s not rattling quick ground, then we’ll be heading there.
