Quickthorn ‘in great form’ for Cadran challenge

Quickthorn ridden by Tom Marquand on their way to winning the Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup Stakes during day three of the Ebor Festival at York Racecourse. Picture date: Friday August 19, 2022.

Quickthorn will go for Group One glory on Arc weekend, with Hughie Morrison confirming the Prix du Cardan as his target.

The five-year-old produced a tremendous performance in winning the Lonsdale Cup at York – running his rivals into submission from the front to triumph by 14 lengths from Coltrane, an effort as good on the clock as it was visually.
