Bated Breath's quest to claim a first Group One success will move on to Haydock's Betfred Sprint Cup next month after his sixth-place finish in the Coolmore Nunthorpe last week.
Roger Charlton's sprinter was first home of those drawn high at York and his trainer believes the fact Spirit Quartz, who had been comprehensively beaten by Bated Breath on the two previous occasions they had met, finished in front of him proved he was on the wrong part of the track.

BUICK UP FOR FRANKEL CHALLENGE.

William Buick believes Nathaniel could at least give Frankel something to think about should the pair lock horns in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot in October.
Frankel recorded his 13th victory from as many starts with a truly awesome display in last week's Juddmonte International at York.
While plans for the world's highest-rated racehorse remain up in the air, the Champion Stakes would seem his most likely next objective and that could see him clash with John Gosden's Nathaniel for the second time. The duo met on debut at Newmarket a couple of years ago, with Nathaniel getting within half a length of Sir Henry Cecil's colt.
