Group winner Quickthorn (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) will start next in the G1 Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 1, trainer Hughie Morrison confirmed on Saturday. Since beginning his 2022 campaign in April, Lady Blyth's 5-year-old gelding was second in the Listed Further Flight S. at Nottingham and filled that position again in the G3 Sagaro S. behind Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) at Ascot at the end of April. The G3 Henry II S. went his way at Sandown one month later and he triumphed in the G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil at ParisLongchamp on July 14. In his most recent appearance, he ran out a 14-length winner of the G2 Lonsdale Cup at York on Aug. 19, and turned in a solid work for Morrison on Saturday.
Morrison said, “He worked well this morning and will go for the Cadran. He's in great form.”
