Clive Cox has confirmed Golden Horde could feature in the Sprint Cup at Haydock as he looks to return to winning ways.
Golden Horde made the perfect start to his three-year-old career when winning the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.
He got the better of Kimari back in June before then finishing a respectable third in the July Cup at Newmarket.
Golden Horde was last seen at Deauville when fifth in the Prix Maurice and after a short break, he is now set to step up his preparations for the Sprint Cup.
Cox told reporters: “The Sprint Cup at Haydock would be a logical step to take from here, if all is well in the meantime.
“He has come back really well from his run in France. He is still only a baby in comparison to those he was up against in the Maurice de Gheest.
“As a three-year-old, he is taking his racing really well, and I’m happy with him.
“He travelled really kindly in the Maurice de Gheest, but I think the last 100 yards was just a step too far after racing competitively throughout.”
