THE classy Magnanimous secured a deserved first success at listed level as he claimed the Glencairn Stakes in the style of one who could easily hold his own at a higher level later this summer, with a trip to Ascot now likely to be on his agenda.

A talented and reliable juvenile, the Joseph O’Brien-trained son of Mehmas had already shown that he had trained on well with his three efforts this season headed by a second-place finish in the Tetrarch Stakes. On his first try at a mile this season, the HLT Partnership-owned Magnanimous (8/1) oozed class and did enough to warrant a tilt the Jersey Stakes at the Royal meeting.
