York Eyecatcher Do Or Do Not one to keep onside

Do Or Do Not seems certain to get his head in front at some point judged on his narrow loss in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing EBF Restricted Novice Stakes at York.

Ed Walker’s Space Blues colt left a beaten debut well behind him in the six-furlong affair, matching strides with Archie Watson’s more experienced Tadej and missing out by just a neck on the line.

Walker’s string are in superb form and the well-regarded Tadej is headed next for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, where a good run would make Do Or Do Not look a decent sort himself.
