CHARLIE Hills has another very fast horse on his hands in Battaash, who burst clear under Dane O’Neill in the Group 3 Coral Charge and beat Mirza by over three lengths at Sandown. That fine old warrior Goldream kept on for third.

A three-year-old son of Dark Angel, Battaash was made 5/2 favourite following a fluent win here last time. He was helped by a draw close to the far rails last week but sheer speed would have carried him home anyway.
