“He went to Newmarket and he was too fresh and did too much. He settled and quickened up well today. He won nicely. I always thought he wanted good ground but he won his maiden on soft ground and Ryan said it is proper soft ground there today.” Aidan O'Brien
RP ANALYSIS: KHARTOUM, 10-1 when last to finish in the Group 3 Craven Stakes on his return, oozed class on this drop in grade to win in straightforward style. The Newmarket effort was hopefully just a one off and, while he has Group 1 entries, one would imagine that'll he'll head into Listed or Group 3 events in the short term.
