'Hopefully he can make into a Classic horse' - Morny star Vandeek has Crisford team dreaming
![Vandeek: won for the first time at Group 1 level at Deauville on Sunday](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com%2Fprod-media-racingpost%2Fprod%2Fimages%2F169_1008%2F58aeec596e5a-vandeek.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Simon and Ed Crisford are hoping their breakthrough success at Group 1 level on Sunday with Vandeek will provide a springboard to another with their unbeaten juvenile at Newmarket next month.
All roads lead to the Group 1 Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes on September 30 for the son of Havana Grey, who was backing up his win in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood when accounting for Ramatuelle in the Prix Morny at Deauville.
Vandeek was cut to 7-2 (from 11-2) by Paddy Power for the Middle Park in which he could face a rematch with River Tiber, who finished third in France. Simon Crisford went close to winning the 6f Group1 in 2018 when Jash finished second to Ten Sovereigns.
