Aqaleem Team Keep Options Open

Connections of Aqaleem remain in no rush to make a final decision committing their colt to the Ladbrokes St Leger.

In the meantime, however, the Derby third is being trained towards a crack at the final Classic of the season at Doncaster on September 15.

'I've not discussed the race yet with Sheikh Hamdan but he's still training as if we are going there,' said the owner's racing manager Angus Gold.

'Obviously that's his decision nearer the time, but I don't know exactly when that will be.'

The son of Sinndar did his Leger claims no harm when narrowly failing to give Yellowstone 3lb in the Gordon Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on his latest start.

Marcus Tregoning's charge is generally available at 4-1 for the St Leger.
