Cup dreams in mind for Forever Now
Last Updated: 17/09/14 3:25pm
Forever Now will embark on his winter break with connections hoping he can develop into a leading stayer next term.
The Galileo colt finished sixth, beaten five lengths by Kingston Hill, in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on what was just his sixth career start.
John Gosden's charge was taking a big step up to Group One company after previously winning a Goodwood Listed heat and Hugo Lascelles, racing manager to owner Lady Bamford, was delighted with his effort.
He said: "We were very pleased with him, he's still immature and weak, but he's been raised to a mark of 110.
"He will be put away for the year now and we hope he can be a Cup horse next year, he's got a chance."
Stablemate Eagle Top, winner of the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, has been off the track since finishing fourth behind Taghrooda in the King George at Ascot in July, for which he was supplemented.
He is still entered for the Qipco Champion Stakes on October 18, for which he is a 10-1 chance, but appears an unlikely runner.
Lascelles said: "He's probably going to be put away for the year as well."
