So You Think bids to further enhance his massive reputation in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The Australian superstar has landed both his starts in Ireland in ultra-impressive fashion, including the Tattersalls Gold Cup last time. Five times a Group One winner Down Under, So You Think will try to maintain his 100% record in Europe in the mile-and-a-quarter showpiece.
"He hadn't done anything serious at home and we had just been playing with him at home for his first two starts. He's had two easy runs, and his work has been getting a little bit more serious since, so it will be interesting to see," trainer Aidan O'Brien told At The Races.
"We were very happy with him at the Curragh in the Tattersalls, but this will be another jump up with more serious contenders to run against him, so it will be interesting."
Ryan Moore takes the ride for the second time, having partnered the huge colt in the second of his races on the Curragh.
O'Brien continued: "The reason Ryan rode him was that he gave the lads (at Coolmore) a commitment that he would ride at Ascot. The best place to get to know him was in a race. He is a big cruiser so it's hard to say what his exact trip is. This is another step up and it's something to look forward to."
The Godolphin-owned Rewilding is reported to be ready for a return to action after being given a break following his victory in the Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan in March.
"We like to go fresh to a race and I think he will run a big race in Ascot. We space his races because if we run him too soon, he doesn't run a good race," trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni said.
"We are dropping him back in trip, which we think is the right thing for him at this stage of the season. He has the speed. We don't know, but maybe he will be better at this trip. We'll see what we've got. We've given him plenty of time since the Sheema Classic and been very easy with him. We started squeezing him again two weeks ago."
