William Muir is desperate to see his star sprinter get a first Group-race victory on the board in the weeks ahead.
The five-year-old is a three-time Listed winner, but has yet to get his head in front at a higher level despite several near misses.
After he went close to winning at the highest level when second to Sole Power in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, connections of the Muir-trained gelding have pencilled in two summer sprints.
First there is the Group Three Coral Charge at Sandown on July 5, followed by the King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on August 1.
"He's run to that level all year. I said he'd probably run at Goodwood next and then when I spoke to the owner he said don't forget the Coral Charge, so he'll likely go there first then Goodwood," Muir told At The Races.
"He comes out of these races well. You know he's got the ability - you just keep ticking away with him."
