Shagraan
His form took a surge forward towards the end of last season with 5f Listed wins for Mick Appleby at Beverley (good to firm) and Ascot (soft); reappeared with 3l third of 14 to Night Raider on stable debut in the Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) and he's open to improvement on this second start of the season; one to consider.

From the connections
“Shagraan is improving all the time. He's still growing and filling out and I think he'll be even better next year. We'll put him away now and look to next spring. He loves his racing and hopefully next year he'll be a Group horse. Kieran [Shoemark] gave him a great ride, he's not ridden many for me before but he did exactly as we told him and it was a great job - Mick Appleby, trainer.”
“Shagraan was drawn on the wrong side and the ground was a bit on the softer side than ideal, but he's done it well. He's still improving and places like Bahrain might suit him, so we'll have a look at where we're going to go - Mick Appleby, trainer.”
“Shagraan has taken a big step forward from his Haydock run and shown a bit of class. We thought he was a horse who could run in a decent grade and he's shown that there. We'll stay at six furlongs for now. Windsor is a nice, sharp track and he was always travelling smoothly and he picked up well. He'll come forward again for that - Clive Cox, trainer.”
