Richard Hannon: “He sets the standard on form, and I’ll be disappointed if he’s not bang there”

ASCOT

Our Terms (Ryan Moore)

I was delighted with his debut at Newmarket and, like many of ours, I expect him to improve a lot for it. His work has always been to a decent standard and he’s not short of pace so the drop down to six won’t be an issue. Ryan Moore is booked and I’m hoping for a bold show.

 

YORK

2:40

Dapper Valley (Alec Voikhansky)

I thought he’d run a bit better at Windsor last time but he got caught wide and never ran his race. He’s better than that, however, and we’ve gelded him since.  Alec’s 3lbs claim, along with the handicapper dropping him a couple of pounds, will help and you’d like to think he could be quite competitive on his best form.

Unibet are paying an EXTRA PLACE in this race!

 

SALISBURY

6:00

Gayedhom (Thomas Greatrex)

Both his runs have been ok but I’m not sure his mind is entirely on the job, so we had him gelded and he ran well enough at Newbury last time. He’s not devoid of ability and will have a mark after this.

Invited (Rob Hornby)

He stayed on nicely over five at Newcastle last time, so the step back up to six will suit and I still think he’s capable of winning a Maiden before going into Handicap Company. He sets the standard on form, and I’ll be disappointed if he’s not bang there.

 

LINGFIELD

6:15

Scheming (Sam Hitchcott)

She’s a sweet filly by Masar whose work has been to a solid standard and she’s ready to go, but I do expect her to come on for the run.
