BECKFORD looked good when he won his maiden on his racecourse debut at the Curragh in May, but he looks even better now.

For starters, the form of that maiden is working out exceptionally well. Runner-up Red Persian and fourth-placed Commander Grigio won afterwards, while third-placed Would Be King finished second to Brother Bear in the Marble Hill and finished second to new Guineas favourite Gustav Klimt in the opener on Sunday.
