George Boughey (10 June 2026): "He's been very good. We were hopeful that he would be very competitive in the Guineas. I think to put on the show that he did was a little bit of a surprise to us. He took the race well, and within a couple of days he needed to be back out and in full work. He's taking it super. I think Billy (Loughnane) and I had been through the Guineas a number of times, walked the track a number of times, stood at certain furlong markers and planned out where we wanted to be at each point. I think the preparation couldn't have gone any better and it was a pretty comfortable watch. It’s probably equal pressure but in a slightly different way going into the St James’s Palace because he’s proven himself to be the horse we hoped he would. It’s always a bit of an unknown through the spring to see if he’s a horse who’s going to flourish and luckily, he has and he has taken a notable step forward. We have seen him improve physically and his work has undoubtedly got stronger. I hope they go a good gallop as that would suit and he’s a horse that you want to ride with a bit of restraint on a straight track as if you jump you can land yourself in a prominent position and you’re often a victim of circumstances if you land there. That’s why I was so happy where Billy was in the run at Newmarket, but you don’t to be far back at Ascot on the round mile. They can get away from you, but he jumped and travelled going around a bend at Haydock and he’s got quite a few of the attributes needed for the track at Ascot. He was fast asleep five minutes before you arrived and he gives me incredible confidence about his mental constitution for a test like this. You know he’s horse that will travel and, really, he’s got all the attributes to do everything. It rained last week and we switched his work morning from Tuesday to Friday. He worked on the all-weather on Tuesday and then on good to soft ground on the July course on Friday and was electric. For me, he is an unbeaten Guineas winner whose best days are ahead him."
George Boughey (13 April 2026): "His work has been very good through the spring, and we have had a very good preparation with him. He is in great form, and we just have to put the finishing touches to his preparation for the 2000 Guineas. He’s set to gallop at Newmarket this week, and obviously at this time of the year you just hope that everything carries on in the same way. He was unbeaten as a two-year-old, and I think he could be a star performer for us - hopefully he can continue to progress."
