Mishriff To Target Champion S.

G1 Prix du Jockey Club and recent G2 Prix Guillaume d’Ornano winner Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) will bypass the Oct. 4 G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in favour of the G1 Champion S. at Ascot two weeks later, Racing Post reports.

“After discussions with owner Prince Faisal and his team, Mishriff is to have his next outing in the G1 Qipco Champion S. at Ascot in October,” trainer John Gosden told Racing Post. “We discussed the possibility of running him in the Arc, for which he would have had to be supplemented, but he’s shown this year that he is very much suited to a mile and a quarter. This looks the best plan going forward and he won’t mind whatever the ground turns out to be come October as he’s shown he’s quite versatile in that regard.”

Frankel’s Seventh Kingdom A New Rising Star at Doncaster

It took a while for the penny to drop, but when it did Prince Faisal’s homebred Seventh Kingdom (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was a class above going a shade over seven furlongs in Saturday’s Betway Novice S. at Doncaster, earning a TDN Rising Star tag with a daylight triumph. He was caught napping at the break, but recovered to track the leaders in third after the initial strides. Niggled along to keep his mind on the task at hand from halfway, the well-backed 6-5 favourite swooped for control passing the quarter-mile marker and lengthened further clear of toiling rivals in the closing stages to outclass Longlai (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}) by a geared-down four lengths in taking fashion.
