HATAAB CLASSIC DILEMMA

A decision will be made at the weekend on Hataab`s participation in the Rothmans Royals St Leger on Saturday week, it was revealed today.

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum`s colt, winner of the Glasgow Stakes in the spring, finished a disappointing seventh of 10 behind Air Marshall when favourite for the Gordon Stakes, his first attempt at a mile and a half, at Goodwood last time.

'He`s going to work over the weekend and then we`ll sit down and talk it over,' the owner`s racing manager Angus Gold said.

'He didn`t run his race at Goodwood and he was not quite right afterwards.

'It`s impossible to read anything into that race. We don`t even know if he stays 12 furlongs.'
