James Fanshawe has confirmed that top-class Society Rock will next feature in the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday September 8.

The trainer revealed the news when discussing his future plans for the five-year-old, last seen securing third place in the July Cup following an impressive run when finishing fifth behind Black Caviar in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Fanshawe wants Society Rock to use the Haydock outing to prepare for another crack at October’s British Champions Sprint Stakes after his currently sidelined Deacon Blues triumphed in last year’s race.

“We gave him a break after the July Cup and the plan is to get him ready for Haydock. After that, the obvious target is the big sprint on Champions Day at Ascot,” said Fanshawe.

Meanwhile, Fanshawe admitted that High Jinx is not a certainty to race in the Betfred Ebor (10/1 Winner or E/W with Betfred) at York on August 25.

The four-year-old son of High Chaparral appeared set to feature in the famous handicap having finished second over the course and distance in last month’s Silver Cup.

But Fenshaw claims the Ebor is one of a number of options open to him at this moment in time.

He added: “He’s in good form, but he is not a certain runner in the Ebor.

“We have not decided yet what his next destination will be. He’ll be entered in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury on Saturday week and that is a possibility as well, so we’ll see.”
