KANAF, who has been making hay climbing through the ranks, steps up another grade for the 16-runner DFJP International Handicap at Ascot on Friday.
Ed said: "Kanaf is a pretty decent sprinter and he is improving fast, but obviously, having won a Class 4 race on the Polytrack at Lingfield and a Class 3 at Sandown, he now needs to raise his game again. He was impressive last time and switching back to six furlongs won't be a problem, so, hopefully, he'll prove competitive."
