William Haggas not going to rush historic Royal Ascot winner Desert Hero back into action

William Haggas says he is in no rush to make a plan for the King's Royal Ascot winner Desert Hero.

A son of Sea The Stars, the three-year-old earned a third success in five career starts when recording a famous victory under Tom Marquand in the King George V Stakes.

The head victory over Valiant King gave the King and Queen their first success at the meeting.

The Newmarket handler feels he will not make a quick return to the track, however.

He said: "It was a great day. He's fine, but I don't know quite what we will do.

"He would have had a very hard race there, so we are not in any rush to make a plan.

"We will have to see how we go. There's nothing in mind long-term, not really."

Meanwhile, Tiber Flow, who won Newcastle's Group Three Chipchase Stakes on Saturday, could prove difficult to place, according to the handler.

Marquand's mount beat Spycatcher in the six-furlong all-weather contest by a neck to make it four wins from five starts on artificial surfaces.

Haggas said: "It was nice for Jon and Julia Aisbitt, they bred him. His half-brother (Godwinson) won at Hamilton on Thursday to become their 100th winner, which is a fantastic achievement.

"Then the older brother wins a Group race at Newcastle, so it is fantastic.

"We wanted to run him in the Wokingham, but he needs cut in the ground.

"So, the Chipchase was a very nice option, too. I don't know yet where we'll go. He would be in the Hackwood (Newbury) with a penalty.

"There are penalties everywhere now. That's a crime for winning a Group race, but we'll see. He has won a Group race off a rating of 106, so life could be tough with his penalty."
