Laraaib eyes October run
Trainer Owen Burrows is hoping to have Laraaib ready for the Stella Artois Cumberland Lodge Stakes on Saturday October 6.
The son of Pivotal has struggled in his two starts since chasing hope King George winner Poet’s World on his return to action but he is now building up his fitness.Burrows has flagged up the mile-and-a-half Group Three contest as a potential next run out for the four-year-old.
Burrows said: ‘He is starting to step up his work now as he was another that we found had the bug that went through the yard.
‘I’m relieved that he was one found to have it, as it gives us excuses.
At Royal Ascot it never happened and he was bitterly disappointing at Newmarket. He stopped very quickly and that was not him.
‘If he is pleasing me at home we will have a look at Ascot. His run against Poet’s Word was good and although I’m not saying he is up to that level, it got us quite excited.
‘As long as we can get him back we should still have some good days.’
