Sruthan earns a crack at Lockinge

The JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury is a potential next port of call for Sruthan after he made a winning return to action in the Big Bad Bob Gladness Stakes at the Curragh.

Paul Deegan’s four-year-old was the 9-4 favourite to secure his second Group Three prize, having signed off his 2013 campaign with victory in Tipperary’s Concorde Stakes in early October.

Custom Cut and Cristoforo Colombo took the field along, with Sruthan always handily placed in the hands of Chris Hayes.
