Bin Suroor is Alert to German chance for Tornado

Tornado Alert has an eye on a German foray as he is pencilled in for the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis at Munich.

The Saeed bin Suroor-trained colt finished fourth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before coming home a creditable sixth in the Derby.

He then headed to Ascot to contest the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes, where he dropped back to 10 furlongs to finish runner-up behind Aidan O’Brien’s Trinity College.

His next port of call is the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis, known also as the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen, a Group One event run over a mile and a quarter and a race Bin Suroor has enjoyed success in before as Kutub won it in 2001 and Benbatl prevailed in 2018.

“He is doing very well, he worked on Tuesday,” the trainer said of Tornado Alert.

“The plan is to run him in Germany at the end of the month.

“The race is on the 27th at Munich, the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis.

“It’s over a mile and a quarter, which is his trip. He’s been in really good form.”
