A month later he was dropped in class and won a minor stakes race over six furlongs at Doncaster, leading all the way under Kieren Fallon and beating his old rival Russian Revival by a neck. On his final start, he was moved back up to Group One level for the Haydock Sprint Cup, but after leading early he weakened in the closing stages to finish ninth of the eleven runners. Overall, his season was disappointing with only a single victory.
