KHATHAK looked potentially useful when making a winning start at Kempton 7 weeks ago, staying on to lead close home with the front 2 pulling clear, and this brother to high-class miler Ribchester is taken to defy a penalty. His stablemate Sarangani is bred to be smart so must be feared, especially if coming in for support.
