Khuzaam claims impressive Mile verdict
Varian runner comes home clear at Lingfield.
Khuzaam blitzed the field with an impressive performance to win the Bombardier All-Weather Mile Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield. Hitting the front on the turn for home, Khuzaam (6-4 favourite) quickly put daylight between himself and his rivals with a devastating turn of foot. Jack Mitchell sat on the heels of the pace-making Canagat in the early stages before making his move. The response from the Roger Varian-trained five-year-old was immediate and he romped away to score by five lengths from Mums Tipple. Bless Him stayed on for third place, another length away. Mitchell said: “That was nice and smooth. His work has improved a lot since he won at Chelmsford and the gelding operation has obviously helped him. “He’s still got some miles to go on his clock.”
