Clive Cox's four-year-old lands the Group Two feature on Merseyside to book trip to next month's Royal Ascot
Kerdos came fast and late to land the Betfred Temple Stakes at Haydock Park on Saturday afternoon and book his ticket to a crack at the renamed King Charles III Stakes at at next month’s Royal Ascot .
Last year's Nunthorpe Stakes hero Live In The Dream went straight into the lead on his return and initially looked like he would repel all his rivals. But under Richard Kingscote, Kerdos got going later and edged ahead in the final furlong in the five-furlong sprint. Part-owner Alan Spence is looking forward to sending his horse to Royal Ascot. He said: "It's the third time we've won this race as we won with his sire, Profitable and also with Priceless so we've had three Temple Stakes winners, all with Clive which takes a bit of doing.
Trainer of the runner-up Adam West was more pleased with his Nunthorpe Stakes winner Live In The Dream, who as making his first run since he was fourth at the Breeders' Cup back in November. Connections are set to bypass Royal Ascot and wait for the Coral Charge at Sandown on Coral Eclipse Stakes day at the start of July.
