The Jean-Claude Rouget trained runner was a superstar during his career and has t be up there with one of the best horses the master Frenchman has trained during his career.

The son of Wooton Bassett was best known for his performances in both the British and Irish Champion Stakes back in 2016 having landed both.

Throughout his career the horse went on to race 11 times winning eight of those events and took home three Group Ones including both the Champion Stakes and the Prix du Jockey Club.
