Pyledriver pleased connections in a racecourse gallop on Wednesday ahead of a run in the Group 1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes at Ascot.
Winner of the race twelve months ago, Pyledriver is unbeaten over Ascot's twelve furlongs (3-3) and had a successful start to the season when taking the course and distance Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at the Royal meeting.
"He just did want we wanted and we were delighted with him," said Muir.
"It was not a serious, hard gallop, it was just a day out really. He goes to Newbury, has a warm-up little canter and then covers the distance, that's all. He did great.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed and we're in good shape. Fingers crossed we'll be there at Ascot."
"Everyone says he loves Ascot but that is because it is one of the only places where the races are that we have run him.
"He has only run once at York and he won, same at Haydock, he's both a winner and second in Group Ones at Epsom. I just think he's a good horse. The races at Ascot suit him and that's why we've kept going back there really.
"He's extremely versatile – he's versatile on ground, he's versatile on course. He's not one of those that you worry yourself stupid about what's going to happen with the weather, whatever happens, happens, and you just turn up."
Pyledriver is expected to face up to five contenders from the Aidan O'Brien yard in the race, including this year's Derby hero Auguste Rodin. They will be joined by Royal Ascot winner King Of Steel with Emily Upjohn and Hukum representing the older horses.
Pyledriver is currently 11/2 for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes on 29 July.
