Coolmore have had Group I success in the past in sending elite colts from Australia back to Ballydoyle to be trained with So You Think, Haradasun and Starspangledbanner all achieving Group I wins at Royal Ascot.

Storm Boy is yet to put a G1 win on his CV, but will be given every opportunity to do so and it will be fascinating to watch his progress in a new environment.
