Haami redeemed a tarnished reputation with a workmanlike victory in the Somerville Tattersall Stakes at Newmarket yesterday, prompting a re-entry into the 2000 Guineas reckoning in the process. After convincing victories on his first two outings the Nashwan colt disappointed in third place when favourite for the Group Three Solario Stakes at Sandown.

But after his 5-1 success in yesterday's Listed event it was revealed that he had been sufering from a sore throat at Esher, which had prevented him showing his true merit.

Haami and Richard Hills, who rode a treble yesterday including the Group One Middle Park Stakes on Sheikh Hamdan AlMaktoum's Hayil, went to the front a furlong out in company with Paul Cole's Bintang.
