Racing returns to the Rowley Mile on Saturday and this Listed winner could be seen in the Group 2 Shadwell Joel Stakes on Friday week. The son of Lope De Vega has not been sighted since beating only one home in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May but he looked to be nearing a return to his peak when covering a mile on the Al Bahathri Polytrack.
