Weld colt heads for Ascot

Dermot Weld's colt Pakhoes will take on the top British two-year-olds in the Coventry Stakes next month after making it third time lucky at the Curragh.

Second to Ascot-bound juveniles from Aidan O’Brien’s yard on each of his first two starts, he booked his own ticket for the Royal meeting with a smooth victory in the Sara Lee EBF Maiden at the weekend.
