SIR MICAHEL STOUTE will hold discussions with the Coolmore operation before planning where Mountain High will turn out next en route to a possible tilt at the Japan Cup. The five-year-old put up a career-best performance on his last start in beating the top-class filly Mandesha to land the Grand Prixde Saint-Cloud. But the embarrassment of riches that Coolmore currently have in their older horse department means Stoute is targeting a crack at the Japan Cup. "I need to speak to the Coolmore boys about Mountain High," said Stoute. "We decided after Saint-Cloud to freshen him up a bit so that he could go right through to the autumn when hopefully he could end up in a race like the Japan Cup. "He's already got one Group 1 so we would like another one now." Stoute also trains enigmatic Princess Of Wales's winner Papal Bull for the Tipperary operation, but as yet there are no firm plans for the four-year-old. "We have no real plan for Papal Bull as Coolmore have such strength in the middle-distance department this year," Stoute told At The Races.
