Unbeaten Acomb winner Syphax to stay with Ryan

Syphax, winner of the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York last month, has been bought by Godolphin but there are no immediate targets for the unbeaten colt.

John Ferguson, Godolphin's managing director, said: "We have purchased Syphax and he will remain in training with Kevin Ryan. He looks an exciting prospect for next year."

The son of Arch, bought for €100,000 at the French breeze-ups, won on his debut at Musselburgh before contesting the Acomb in which Godolphin had favourite Best Of Days, another purchase earlier this summer.
