“He’s bouncing, he’s going well and he’s waiting for his date at Ascot,” said Ted Voute, racing manager to owner Prince Faisal. [Trainer] John [Gosden] and the Prince made a decision and that’s where we’re going. We’ve just got to find out what we’re racing against.”

Voute added, “At the moment he’s showing a nice turn of foot which they are not always blessed with. Let’s hope he can keep doing that when it’s needed.”

Voute also offered an update on Prince Faisal 2-year-old Third Kingdom (GB) (Make Believe {GB}). The colt has finished third in two career starts, including his latest when finishing behind subsequent Listed Solario S. winner Etonian (Ire) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) at Sandown on July 23 .

“He was down to go to Chelmsford the other day and just had a bit of heat in a joint and they elected not to go,” explained Voute. “It has since been looked at and is nothing serious. He should be out soon.”

He added, “The form of that second race of his has come out quite nicely, so it was a shame he couldn’t go to Chelmsford as it looked like his for the taking, but we’re waiting for John [Gosden] to give him an entry and see how good he is.”
