Hackwood Stakes winner,Minzaal is being prepared by leading English trainer Owen Burrows for a trip to Deauville on the cards before Haydock
A winner of the Gimcrack Stakes at York as a two-year-old, the Mehmas colt missed most of his 3YO season before providing a reminder of his talent with a pair of placed efforts at both Listed and Group One level in the autumn.
He then recorded another podium finish on his seasonal return in the 1895 Duke Of York Stakes, before struggling in a red-hot running of the Platinum Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
However, with sights slightly lowered at Newbury for his most recent outing, Minzaal returned to his very best to account for a useful cast in the Gr.3 Hackwood Stakes.
Now Burrows is preparing to return the four-year-old to the top table for his next two starts, with a trip to Deauville on the cards before running on Merseyside in the next sprinting Group One in the UK.
