YOU can see why Baradar has found himself at the top of the market for this afternoon’s Peroni Nastro Azzurro Victoria Cup at Ascot. George Boughey’s horse ran a big race on his seasonal debut in the Lincoln.

He travelled really well through his race, he made good ground on the far side, away from the stands-side rail, and he looked a likely winner when he joined the front rank, travelling well, on the run to the furlong marker.
