Chief can take step up in class in his stride

ZULU Chief is expected to prove his star quality in the United Arab Emirates Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow.

Hawk Wing’s brother, by Fusaichi Pegasus, bolted up in what was probably an ordinary maiden at Naas last month.

But he has always been highly-rated in Ballydoyle and gets an opportunity tomorrow to make the transition into stakes class.
