STUBBS ART, who finished third in both the British and Irish 2,000 Guineas this year, has been purchased in a private deal and will join Mike de Kock, along with a quartet of Coolmore horses, for a campaign at the Dubai International Carnival.
Stubbs Art finished third to Henrythenavigator, trained by Aidan O'Brien, in both colts' Classics, and finished fifth to the De Kock-trained Eagle Mountain in the Group 3 Joel Stakes at Newmarket at the beginning of last month.
Formerly with David Elsworth and owned by Matthew Green, Stubbs Art is now in the ownership of Sheikh Rashid Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi.
De Kock, speaking from South Africa, said on Monday: "Stubbs Art was bought in a deal brokered by Form Bloodstock, and will go to Dubai as soon as possible to prepare for the carnival.
"He has some excellent form and will have a good rest before we start preparing him for the international carnival."
