“Indian Haven worked just up to the two-furlong marker on the Rowley Mile course – we started pulling up there to ensure that we didn’t run out of watered ground,” said d’Arcy.

“The going on the racecourse is perfect. I wanted to let him have an exercise gallop on a really good surface, and I’m very pleased with him.

“The plan will be to tackle the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes a week on Saturday.”

The Newmarket trainer will be hoping for a clear run when Indian Haven takes his place in the Champion, as twice this season his charge has been hampered, and denied a run, at the crucial stage.
