Jasour making good progress after being forced out of Goodwood
Supplementary plan was scuppered by late setback.
Clive Cox has issued a positive bulletin on Jasour following the gallops injury that ruled him out of a shot at the King George Qatar Stakes at Goodwood. The three-year-old was poised to drop back to five furlongs for the Group Two event having been supplemented into the contest at a cost of GBP 20,000. However, he suffered an untimely setback while completing his final pre-race preparations in Lambourn on Wednesday which saw him cruelly sat on the sidelines as Big Evs sprinted to victory on the Sussex Downs two days later.JASOUR bounces back to form, showing an impressive turn of foot to streak clear in the Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes – it could be the perfect prep for #RoyalAscot!

“It was a very unfortunate situation but I’m very pleased it has gone the right way, and over the last 24 hours especially it has improved a lot,” said Cox. “It was really bad timing for something of that nature to happen and we are looking forward to things carrying on continuing as normal I hope over the next week. It has responded favourably.” Jasour holds an entry for both Haydock’s Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes over six furlongs on September 7 and the Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh a week later over the minimum distance. Cox is still to decide which direction his colt may head next, while it is also too early to say if connections would consider a second supplementary for the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York later this month.
