Connections of Faydhan, who is as short as 12-1 for next year's Qipco 2000 Guineas on the back of just one run, are in no rush to decide which path their exciting juvenile will take.

The John Gosden-trained son of War Front created a deep impression when justifying cramped odds in a Haydock maiden at the beginning of the month and Angus Gold, racing manager to owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, has been pleased with his progress since.

He told At The Races: "John said we'll look at a conditions race somewhere to get some more experience into him before deciding on whether to stay at six furlongs or to step him up to seven."

He added: "If we decide he's fast enough then we'll go for the Gimcrack (York, August 23) and then possibly the Middle Park at Newmarket (October 17) at the end of the season.

"John is pleased with him and he's always looked a nice horse. He was a beautiful yearling and a real sharp-looking type.

"His joints were a little immature early and that's why we didn't see him any earlier than Haydock. We hope to get him back on the racecourse soon."
