A €900,000 graduate of Arqana's Breeze Up Sale in May, GAURDMAN has always been held in high regard at Carlburg Stables.

Stepping up to 7f on a kinder surface than he experienced in his first two starts, proved to be key today as he repelled a late challenge to just hold on. He is not short of speed and may well return to 6F next time out.

Congratulations to owners Victorious Forever, regular rider Matthew Henry and groom Sachin Wadpilley.
