Ascot Eyecatcher Rahiebb will make his mark

Roger Varian’s Queen’s Vase third Rahiebb could be worth following with big days later in the season in mind.

The Carlburg Stables handler won this race with Eldar Eldarov in 2022 and looked to have another real contender in Rahiebb, who emerged from the pack full of running with two furlongs to run.

Inexperience perhaps cost the lightly-raced son of Frankel late on, but he is yet to finish outside the top three in five starts, with his trainer saying he will be handed a St Leger entry later in the season.
