TARIQ showed he was back with a vengeance when slamming US Ranger in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot and further evidence of his wellbeing was on display on the Limekilns short gallop on Saturday morning.
The Kyllachy colt had previously returned to winning form at Newmarket but he gave the impression that he has a lot more to offer in the coming months as he deftly pulled clear of his companion.
He next lines up against the starter in the Group 2 Betfair Cup Lennox Stakes at Goodwood on July 31 and that engagement will be eagerly awaited by connections.
Derby winner Authorized was back on parade after his Eclipse Stakes effort and was only asked to join up with old sparring partner River Alhaarth as his connections ponder over the decision of whether to run in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
Al Qasi and Striving Storm both went through their paces alone and the promising Amaakin was partnered by Roy Carter in a decent spin with a once-raced colt.
Saeed Bin Suroor had been in action on the trial ground earlier where Purple Emperor limbered up quite nicely in company with Midsummer Fun.
Seabow (Ted Durcan) is shaping quite nicely as he readies for action and moved well with Moon Quest. Durcan was in action for Henry Cecil later in the morning where he took the leg up on the likeable Kandahar Run and the grey son of Rock of Gibraltar showed he is coming along with each gallop as he picked up from the rear to take command in his trio.
Rattan, a chestnut colt by Royal Anthem, looks another that will be making the right noises in due course and he moved readily clear of his workmate.
After a change over Crystany (Durcan) moved well in her spin with Unnefer and Burn The Breeze, a daughter of Beat Hollow, gave positive indicators in her work with .
Jack Dawkins could attempt to build on a promising effort at Newmarket at the end of last month at Yarmouth on Tuesday night and moved well in his work with Timetable.
Sir Michael Stoute was another on the Limekilns where Jeremy (Maxine Cowdrey) looked in good shape after his fine effort when short headed by Ramonti in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot when striding out strongly on his own.
Majestic Marauder looks a decent sort and he moved well in his spin with an older companion.
One To Note
Tariq (Peter Chapple-Hyam). Going well in his work as he starts the countdown to the Lennox Stakes.
