Whisky Baron is on his travels again, this time to Dubai where some of the rich prizes of the three-month Carnival are on his agenda.

Brett Crawford said: “He is back in light work and on a water treadmill. I hope that by the end of the week he will be under saddle once more and cantering.

“He will fly out to Dubai in mid-December. I am not sure when he will run but there are a lot of options between January and March.”

The Sun Met winner suffered the equine equivalent of a twisted ankle when being prepared for the Challenge Stakes at Newmarket earlier in the month and so could not be nominated for the big International meeting in Hong Kong on 10 December.
