Caspar Netscher primed for big Reef run

ALAN McCabe is confident his star juvenile Caspar Netscher remains at the peak of his powers ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury today.

Having made a winning racecourse debut at Beverley at the start of May, many would have expected the youngster’s form to have tailed off by now.

However, the son of Dutch Art has continued to progress, placing in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood before registering a deserved victory in York’s Gimcrack Stakes.
