Entries for the Francis Graffard-trained Sumbal include the Gr.1 Prix du Jockey-Club on May 31, Royal Ascot's Gr.2 King Edward VII Stakes on June 19 and the Gr.1 Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris on July 14.

He was foaled by the Linamix mare Alix Road, who was placed in Group company over ten and 12 furlongs and who has also produced the Group Two-placed filly Lavender Lane.
