Running the Aquis Farm colours for a syndicate that also includes Gary Moore Racing and partners, Nuclear Summit is from Exceed and Excel mare Limealicious.

Having his second trial the Bjorn Baker trained Holy Roman Emperor (IRE) colt Grand Emperor showed good natural pace to lead and held off all challengers to score a comfortable three-quarter length win in his 900 metre trial clocking 54.23 seconds, which was the quickest of the four two year-old heats.
