Ghan team consider autumn options

Connections of Ghanaati must decide whether to run her against the colts in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes - or in the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes a week later.The 1000 Guineas heroine is still under consideration for two big autumn prizes after her recent third in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, the Sun Cariot at Newmarket or the QEII at Ascot.Angus Gold, racing manager for owner Hamdan Al Maktoum, told At The Races: "Hopefully we'll get her back in the autumn to her previous glory. The original thought was the Queen Elizabeth at Ascot, but I know Barry Hills is rather favouring the fillies' race at Newmarket a week later."He added: "We'll see how she is nearer the time, but I wouldn't be frightened of taking on the colts again."Gold felt something was slightly amiss with Ghanaati during the Sussex Stakes, in which she was comfortably beaten by Rip Van Winkle and Paco Boy."Looking at her in the paddock beforehand, she looked a little short. I would hazard a guess that we'd get her better than that," he continued."The one thing she'd done in her two previous races was lengthen all the way to the line. "We've had a look at her with the chiropractor last week and she was a bit sore behind."
