Baitha Alga is rated 108 and has a lot more to offer this season with entries in the G1 Middle Park, G1 Dewhurst, G2 Champagne Stakes and G2 Mill Reef.

“This is a colt full of quality and style, with a great flowing action – he floats over the ground. He looks like a horse to run over 6-7f mid season and he comes from a family that the Burns know well with his ancestors being Royal Ascot winners Greenland Park and Red Sunset.” Maurice
