. Newmarket TELESCOPE looks a fine prospect for Sir Michael Stoute and the colt took another step towards a Group One end-of-season assignment when working on the Al Bahathri Polytrack on Saturday morning. Ryan Moore teamed-up with him in a seven furlong workout with DEBATING SOCIETY. The recent Newmarket winner is as fit as he needs to be and on this occasion came up the strip without his rider pressing any buttons. CARLTON HOUSE heads to the Qipco Queen Elizabeth II Stakes next weekend and he completed his preparation for that with a pleasing spin under Moore. Off since the Summer Mile at Ascot two months ago, the colt seems in good order and readily quickened about seven lengths clear of lead horse EAGLES PEAK. In this sort of form he looks sure to make an impact on what is a recovery mission. MARIA'S CHOICE looks one to follow and it was by eight lengths that he disposed of LEO LUNA. SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD regularly works alone and that was again the case as he engaged in a solo spin. Next up was TONNERRE who looked in good order in his spin with SASH OF HONOUR. Several juveniles went under the spotlight, with JAREEDA looking in good shape pulling three lengths clear of PLYBILL. PRIMADONA GIRL and DESERT SUNRISE also caught the eye.
