Dubai plan for Torcedor Jessica Harrington is targeting the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan with Torcedor following his tremendous effort in defeat on Champions Day at Ascot. The five-year-old won his first two starts after joining Harrington from the now-retired David Wachman, claiming the scalp of Order Of St George in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan in the spring. That form has been reversed on three occasions since, but Torcedor has performed admirably to finish fifth in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and second in the Irish St Leger before getting within half a length of his old foe in Saturday's Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup. Harrington said: "He ran a great race and that's him done for the year. "We'll aim him towards the two-mile race on Dubai World Cup night in March, that's the plan. "He's had a great season, going up over a stone in the ratings, and we look forward to next year with him."
