BARADARI showed his appreciation for a step up in trip when taking the Grade 2 Keltbray Holloway’s Hurdle over two miles, three and a half furlongs at Ascot last Saturday.

He was receiving 5lb from the runner-up,10lb from the third, and 20lb from the fourth but it was a promising effort to beat Lyvius, Le Mercurey, and Garde La Victoire by a neck, six lengths, and one length.
