Tariq back on the comeback trail

Tariq, not seen since finishing third behind Hellvelyn in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, is set to make his three-year-old debut in the European Free Handicap at Newmarket’s Craven meeting.

An impressive winner of a Newmarket maiden on debut, the son of Kyllachy may have the French 2000 Guineas as a target if all goes to plan, according to trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam.
