Varian wants three-year-old to wait a little longer

Nahrain will not race in the Group One Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on Saturday. The unbeaten three-year-old, owned by Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum, has impressed on all of her three starts so far, with wins over a mile in a maiden, a handicap, and a Listed contest. "We're not going for the Nassau. We are going to give her a bit more time," said trainer Roger Varian. "She's perfectly fine, but I want her to see the season out strongly in the autumn. "I'm not quite sure where are going to go next, but it won't be for a little while. "I think she will get 10 furlongs and could be versatile come the autumn. "She goes on easy ground."
