Having set off at 1-7 for his latest wins at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, the unbeaten Baaeed (3.35) feels more backable at around 4-9 as he steps up to a mile-and-a-quarter for the first time in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York on Wednesday.
The fact that Baaeed has yet to prove himself at 10 furlongs is one reason for the bookies’ apparent generosity but favourite backers also have a fresh and, on his day, highly talented opponent to worry about in Mishriff.
