Prendergast keen on Haatef Kevin Prendergast expects a "big run" from Haatef in the Duke of York Hearthstead Homes Stakes at York on Wednesday. The four-year-old ended the last campaign on a high note with a thrilling victory over Dark Missile in the Diadem Stakes at Ascot. And now the colt, owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, bids to take another Group Two prize. "If the ground is similar to what it was like at Ascot when he won the Diadem we expect a big run," said Prendergast. "He beat most of them that are in the race tomorrow in the Diadem and he looks to have shown the normal improvement from three to four. "If he shows the improvement that we expect him to, and matches what he has done physically, we expect a big run."
