Roger Varian took this with subsequent St Leger hero Eldar Eldarov in 2022 and might be good for another Queen's Vase success courtesy of RAHIEBB, who has improved with each start and promises to relish the step up to 1¾m. Like the selection, Asmarani has made good progress in his short career and is second choice ahead of Shackleton, the mount of Ryan Moore from the Aidan O'Brien pair, and Carmers.
