Gifted Move

Following his impressive win in the £500,000 Tattersalls Millions 2yo Trophy over seven furlongs at Newmarket a week ago, Gifted Master (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) has remained in peak condition for a try at a mile in the same course's G3 Vision Autumn S. on Saturday. Trainer Hugo Palmer has taken the plunge for the quick turnaround after his dynamic all-the-way 4 1/2-length dismissal of Ballydoyle's G2 Norfolk S. winner Waterloo Bridge (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in the sales race. “I'm running him back quicker than I normally would, but all the indications at home are that he's in the same sparkling form that he was last weekend,” his conditioner said. “I think it's just a question of whether he stays the mile and whether he's good enough.” Ahead of the G1 Dubai Dewhurst S. bid of Emotionless (Ire) (Shamardal), Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Ibn Malik (Ire) (Raven's Pass) offers late clues as he was put in his place by Godolphin's exciting colt in the G2 Champagne S. over seven furlongs at Doncaster Sept. 12. Also second to the subsequent G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere third Galileo Gold (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}) in the G2 Vintage S. at Goodwood July 28, the Charlie Hills trainee warrants serious consideration along with Derrick Smith's G2 Beresford S. third Beacon Rock (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
