Moyenne Corniche enters Classic picture

Moyenne Corniche stamped his class on the Dubai International Airport Maiden Stakes over the straight mile at Newbury to earn a 40-1 quote with sponsors Stan James for the 2000 Guineas.

The race often features smart types, with subsequent St Leger winner Lucarno finishing runner-up to Diamond Tycoon 12 months ago, and Geoff Wragg’s latest winner looks right up there.
