Connections eye longer trip for Azamour

Azamour could be a force to be reckoned with in the big 10-furlong races in the rest of the season after a superb victory in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot yesterday.

Connections intimated that a step up from yesterday’s mile was on the cards after Azamour put his defeats in the English and Irish Guineas behind him under an inspired ride from Michael Kinane.
