Await The Dawn ‘ready to step up’

AIDAN O’BRIEN bids to round his Royal Ascot off with another big winner when the potentially high-class Await The Dawn tackles the Hardwicke Stakes.

The four-year-old has very few miles on the clock, having raced just five times, winning four of those, most recently the Huxley Stakes at Chester’s May meeting.

A son of the mighty Giant’s Causeway, the Ballydoyle colt was seriously impressive on the Roodee, streaking four and a half lengths clear of Distant Memories, and defying a penalty in the process.
