Duff aiming at another British Group 2 Eddie Lynam is aiming his stable star Duff at the Group Two Victor Chandler Challenge Stakes at Newmarket on Champions' Day, Saturday October 17. The six-year-old gained a deserved success in Group Two company when gamely taking the seven-furlong Park Stakes at Doncaster on September 12. He holds an entry in the Diadem Stakes over six furlongs at Ascot on Sunday but is likely to wait for Newmarket where he will run over his ideal trip. Lynam said: "Duff is likely to go to Newmarket for the Victor Chandler Challenge Stakes. He has come out of his Doncaster run very well and he's in good form at the moment. "I was delighted with his victory in the Park Stakes and it made up for two years earlier when he was done on the line. He idled a bit in this season's race but he was in front for a long time - when he got in front of the stands, he picked up again. "He's a very game horse and I think that we've seen that seven furlongs is his best trip now. He's won Listed races over six furlongs and a mile but his two Group performances have been over seven. "We are hoping to get an invite to Hong Kong later in the year and he needs sunshine to be at his best. We are aiming at taking him to Newmarket and he should take his chance, providing the ground is not soft." Delegator, Main Aim, Border Patrol, High Standing and Finjaan are other notable entries for the seven-furlong contest.
