Time passes test to set up Juddmonte International tilt

Groom: Jack Bansode

Time Test earned the opportunity to join Frankel and Twice Over on Khalid Abdullah’s treasured list of Juddmonte International winners after scrapping his way to a workmanlike victory.

Having finished third on soft ground in the Coral-Eclipse, the Roger Charlton-trained colt was expected to dominate on a more favourable surface but was forced to dig deep under Pat Smullen to get the better of Mondialiste by three-quarters of a length.
