Teal's tip? Two Win can stay 1m2f and has a massive chance in Qatar Derby

Any international football managers wanting an insight on Qatar prior to the could do worse than pick the brain of Great Shefford trainer Roger Teal, who is set for his third trip to the country in under a year with stable star Tip Two Win.

The son of Dark Angel, who spilt Saxon Warrior and subsequent Derby hero Masar when a blinding second in the 2,000 Guineas, is due to contest the $500,000 Qatar Derby at Doha racecourse on December 22.

Teal had hoped to run the four-time winner in the Longines Hong Kong Mile and now switches to plan B, although it was a similar case 12 months ago when missed the Breeders' Cup but shone in the Al Rayyan Stakes at Doha over Christmas.

Owned by breeder Anne Cowley, he then followed up in February's Al Biddah Mile before his fine Guineas effort and he was also fourth in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
