ITV Sunday mixes Newmarket, Hamilton, and Salisbury and begins right here with the Listed Fairly Polly Stakes for 3yo over 1m2f. Kalpana seemed particular in handicap firm off a mark of 78 however I can’t tip her at a brief worth right here regardless that that was a devastating win.
I’ll likelihood FRIENDLY SOUL each-way for the John and & Thady Gosden camp with Kieran Shoemark on prime. My choice is expounded to robust stayers and made a taking debut at Kempton in December. The Gosden horses have been needing a run however this filly wasn’t in motion that way back so hopefully will probably be match sufficient.
A handicap over 1m5f. RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE was fourth on this final 12 months and has been arrange for one more strive with a run over an insufficient journey. My hope stays effectively and is on an inexpensive handicap mark so ought to give us a superb run beneath Andrew Mullen, Iain Jardine does the coaching.
Up in school now for the Group 2 Dahlia over 1m1f. This time final 12 months RUNNING LION seemed particular within the Fairly Polly however she flopped badly within the French Oaks earlier than occurring to run all proper at Salisbury and Newmarket when third within the Dubai Stakes behind Time Lock. That is as quick as she has been over for a very long time and it would simply be that is her preferrred journey. Goes for John & Thady Gosden beneath Oisin Murphy.
Right here’s a situations stakes for juveniles over 5f. A difficult race as children can enhance a lot for a run. RUNNING QUEEN confirmed promise at Newbury on debut when fourth behind the spectacular and strongly backed Hawaiian and may know extra right here. Ollie Sangster trains and Kieren Fallon takes the mount.
A handicap over 1m6f. I’m satisfied there’s a first rate prize in VAGUELY ROYAL and this could be his day for John & Thady Gosden and Kieran Shoemark. My choice has been working effectively over two miles, with a good third at Lingfield adopted by a fifth to the bang-in-form Prydwen on all-weather championship finals day at Newcastle. A slight drop in journey right here is right. An each-way likelihood.
The large race of the day within the second British Traditional of the season, the 1000 Guineas for 3yo over 1m. I’m an enormous fan of DANCE SEQUENCE and nothing she did in defeat within the Nell Gwyn put me off. In actual fact, I got here away liking her greater than beforehand and had the identical feeling that I had when Galopin des Champs received stuffed and bookmakers pushed him out for the 2024 Gold Cup, primarily that that they had received it incorrect.
Dance Sequence was spectacular for Charlie Appleby within the Oh So Sharp, an excellent winner of this race in fact again within the day, and I’m certain the bottom and step up in journey are preferrred. Charlie Appleby trains for Godolphin with William Buick taking the experience.
So better of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
