Baaeed will not contest the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes, with William Haggas’ stable star set to end his career at either Ascot or ParisLongchamp.

The unbeaten four-year-old made a seamless switch up to 10 furlongs in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, beating Mishriff by six and a half lengths on what was his first start beyond a mile.
