Horse ID?

[Scaramanga]

I photographed this horse as it was lead onto the Al bahathri gallop last week. Ortensia worked on the same morning. They made a rare old fuss about this horse and gave me the impression it was something special. Can anyone identify it?

Looks a bit like SOUL (AUS) to me - possibly

Dont thinks its SOUL - he doesnt have a white sock and is a much lighter bay.

Think it could be http://www.godolphin.com/PhotoGalleryMain.aspx?gid=929 - French Navy?

Can 100% guarantee you that's Alkimos. Working under Dara O'Donohoe

Always works in Blinkers and Noseband and has a near hind white sock.

Dara normally works him and the last time he worked the Alba he worked 7f with Retrieve and that was on the 13th June, but he didn't work as well as Retrieve.
