Prendergast confirms Awtaad on course for Glorious Goodwood

Awtaad appears likely to take his chance in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on July 27.

The Kevin Prendergast-trained colt beat Qipco 2000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold to land the Irish equivalent, but had to settle for third behind Hugo Palmer’s runner in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The Prix Jacques le Marois was also an option, but Prendergast said: “Hopefully he will run in the Sussex, there’s not a definite decision made yet but we are hoping he will run in the Sussex.
