LAST season’s Ascot Gold Cup hero Colour Vision is among three Saeed bin Suroor-trained runners in today’s Seymour Pierce Henry II Stakes at Sandown.

Trained by Mark Johnston in his younger days, the grey initially showed improved form for his switch to Godolphin but struggled after his big Ascot win.

However, Bin Suroor is happy with his condition and feels he may be best when fresh.

‘‘Colour Vision won the Gold Cup last year but was a little disappointing afterwards. We gave him a break after his run on British Champions Day and he has been working nicely,’’ Bin Suroor said.

‘‘It will be his first appearance of the season but he won on his first start last year and it’s a case of so far, so good with him.’’ Cavalryman, who will be ridden by Mickael Barzalona, with Silvestre de Sousa on Colour Vision, was an impressive winner last time out at the Dubai Carnival but needs decent ground to be seen at his best.

‘‘Cavalryman won nicely over two miles in Dubai and he looks fresh and happy at the moment - his latest piece of work went very well,’’ said Bin Suroor.

‘‘He missed the Yorkshire Cup earlier this month due to soft ground and I am hoping for good going this time.’’
