Furthur
He hasn't kicked on since beating Epic Poet to win the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) last August and failed to threaten when fourth in the Yorkshire Cup at York three weeks ago; however, he could improve for that first outing since finishing mid-division in the Melbourne Cup (gelded between those starts); this 4yo remains one to be interested in.

From the connections
“Furthur ran a stellar race at Ascot when he was narrowly beaten in the Queen's Vase and we had big hopes in the Bahrain Trophy, but it probably came too soon for him. He's had a nice break since and that was more like him. He's not an overly enthusiastic horse in the morning, but he relaxed beautifully and Oisin rode him lovely. I'm very pleased - Andrew Balding, trainer.”
“Furthur wasn't an expensive horse and he's given us a huge amount of enjoyment. Hopefully there's more to come as well. We might look at the Bahrain Trophy if he comes out of this alright. He stays well, and might be a Leger horse later in the year - Andrew Balding, trainer.”
