🏇 Where would you go next with the impressive 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮?

📊 The Aidan O'Brien-trained three-year-old took his Timeform master rating up to 𝟭𝟭𝟴+ from 104 in winning the Bahrain Trophy on Thursday.

Strong in the betting and wearing first-time cheekpieces, the 11/8 favourite produced a powerful performance to beat Nightime Dancer by eight-and-a-quarter lengths.

📝 The Timeform report notes: "He obviously enters calculations for the St Leger, though it's interesting that he's also entered in the Goodwood Cup, this effort putting him well to the fore in terms of ratings (receives a stone wfa) and sure to be suited by the step up to 2m."

🏆 He is as low as 8/1 for the Goodwood Cup, although the yard also supplies current even-money favourite Illinois, while in the Betfred St Leger he's 4/1 second favourite with Sky Bet and Paddy Power behind stablemate and dual Derby winner Lambourn. Interestingly, his revised rating is only 4lb below that of his near-neighbour.
