The Art Sherman-trained 4-year-old has been stabled in Newmarket since finishing second in the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 28, where he is preparing for a tilt at the G1 Prince of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot. G1 Tenno Sho victor Spielberg (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) also holds an entry, as do Cirrus des Aigles (Fr) (Even Top {Ire}) and Criterion (Aus)(Sebring {Aus}).
