Dubai Future served a reminder he is not short of class on his day with a 28-1 surprise in the Star Sports Henry II Stakes at Sandown.
The Group Three affair looked to revolve around 8-13 favourite Sweet William, as the Sagaro Stakes scorer sought to reclaim top spot in a race which he won two years ago.
Furthur took them along over the two miles, closely attended by Lazy Griff on his first start since finishing third in last year’s Irish Derby, having been runner-up to Lambourn at Epsom.
Keeping tabs was David Probert on the Saeed bin Suroor-trained runner, who would make an eyecatching move that saw him lead into the home straight, from where he really kicked inside the two-furlong marker to go clear.
Sweet William was bustled along to give chase, but the bird had flown, even though the ultimate margin was just a neck, while Lazy Griff came home with plenty of enthusiasm in third to suggest he has good things ahead of him.
