Coolmore are eagerly anticipating the future of Switzerland as plans take shape for the colt’s path towards Royal Ascot in June.
The Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) winner is progressing well in his preparations for a campaign aimed at the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes (1200m) and is nearing his first trial.
The Chris Waller-trained three-year-old is set to return to action in the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington on February 15.
“He’s going well, Chris is happy with him and James (McDonald) is happy with him,” said Coolmore’s Tom Magnier.
“He spelled at the farm at Mt White, and Chris is happy with the way that he came back.
“If he’s half the horse that he was the day we saw him in the Coolmore, there’ll be plenty to look forward to, but we’re all very happy with him.”
Switzerland extended his record to five wins from seven starts with his Coolmore Stud Stakes triumph on November 2, which followed his victory in the Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) in October.
