The juvenile showed plenty of dash when winning the Windsor Castle Stakes by three lengths at Royal Ascot and displayed guts and determination to follow up in the Molcombe Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last-time-out.

With Jason Hart maintaining his partnership on the high-class Highfield Princess, Andrea Atzeni has been booked for the ride.

Appleby said:m"He's in good order. He did a good piece of work this morning and he'll probably have one more piece of work on Wednesday. I'm delighted with him,"

"It's a long time since a two-year-old has won the Nunthorpe (Kingsgate Native, 2007). So, yes, it's a big ask for him, but hopefully, he's going there with a very good chance at the weights. Jason doesn't ride as he is on Highfield Princess. Andrea Atzeni rides."
