IF there is one horse to keep on side as we head into autumn, it is Continuous who won the Group 3 Shoda Market Café Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh.

He made his seasonal reappearance in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot where he finished fifth to Isle Of Jura and seemed to be badly in need of the run. That run had clearly brought him forward as he landed this Group 3 displaying a smart turn of foot for a horse who is effective over much further than this 10-furlong trip.
