Trainer delighted with Faninalter

A return to the Dubai Carnival next year is on the cards for Fanunalter after his fine run at Ascot on Saturday. Marco Botti's five-year-old chased home the top-class Dick Turpin in the Summer Mile and was beaten just three-quarters of a length. "I think he's a lot like his father, Falbrav, in that he improves every year," said Botti. "He's a much more straightforward horse than he used to be and I think that's because we gelded him last year. "He was beaten by a Group One horse so I was delighted with him. "Perhaps he might go to America or Dubai again. He's a horse that doesn't handle soft ground so we have to campaign him in the summer so the plan would be to give him a break and then freshen him up for Dubai."
