Cat set for Thursday return

Discreet Cat is reported to be “fit and ready” for his eagerly-awaited comeback on Thursday.

Godolphin’s unbeaten four-year-old is set to take his chance in the Group Three Burj Nahaar at Nad Al Sheba – a prep race for next month’s Dubai World Cup.

“It’s been the plan to run him in this race for some time and remains so,” Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford told the Racing Post.

“We said we would give him a run before the World Cup and he’s fit and ready.

“He’s an exciting horse and we’re looking forward to seeing him back in action.”
