 In June the colt was sent to England to contest the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot but made little impact as he came home fourteenth of the eighteen runners behind Rajasinghe.The colt was then dropped back in class for a maiden at the Curragh of 1 July and was equipped with blinkers for the first time.Ridden as on his four previous starts by Seamie Heffernan he took the lead from the start and won "comfortably" by three and a half lengths.
