Richard Hannon: “I’m hopeful she can run another big race at a track I think she’ll handle well”

SUNDAY – SANDOWN

3:05 G3 Atalanta Stakes

Billesdon Brook (Sean Levey)

She proved she’s retained all her ability with an excellent run the G1 Falmouth Stakes last month and has been in great shape at home ever since. Her form is there for all to see and this looks an ideal opportunity to pick up another decent prize so I’m hopeful she can run another big race at a track I think she’ll handle well.

Posted (Hollie Doyle)

I was delighted with her effort in a Listed race at Haydock where she probably didn’t get the best of runs but finished her race really well and Hollie got a good tune of out of her so retains the ride. Posted has always been a very good filly and has some smart form to her name so it would be great to pick up a Group race somewhere along the line and 16/1 with Unibet looks fantastic each way value – and I’m not just saying that because I’m their ambassador!

3:40 G3 Solario Stakes

Etonian (Pat Dobbs)

Despite being sent off at 33/1 for his debut, it came as absolutely no surprise to me that he won the way he did because he’s always shown plenty at home and we think quite a lot of him. This is obviously a big step up but he wouldn’t be running in something like this if I didn’t think he was more than capable and I’m quite confident he’ll give them all something to think about.

4:15 Nursery

Genuflex (Tom Marquand)

He won nicely over a mile at Windsor last time but a stiff seven furlongs here will be absolutely fine and he’s improving all the time. The Handicapper put him up 6lbs for that win so he’s got to pull even more out of the fire but he’s extremely capable and I can’t see a reason why he won’t be bang there.
