Degree on course to school rivals at Ascot

HIGH Degree can do the honours in the Ascot Iron Stand Membership Handicap.

- By MOLLY HUNTER

Trained by William Haggas, the Too Darn Hot colt progressed nicely through maidens and novices before making his handicap debut in the Kincsem Handicap at Goodwood.

There he was a respectable fifth of 18 when stepping up to 10 furlongs for the first time, a promising run considering he was drawn widest of all in a relatively big field.

He remains on the same mark of 93 and looks to have plenty more to offer when again partnered by a top rider in Tom Marquand.

Connections of Raaheeb will be eagerly awaiting his debut in the Charbonnel et Walker British EBF Maiden Stakes on the same card.
