Richard Hannon: “On the whole he’s pretty consistent and won’t be far away”

YORK

3:00

Should’vebeenaring (Oisin Murphy)

He’s been consistent all the way through, and I was delighted to see him gain a deserved success in France last time. The return to seven furlongs won’t be an issue (as long as there’s not too much rain) and Oisin Murphy on board is an obvious positive.

 

4:10

Dark Thirty (David Probert)

His last few runs have been slightly below par, but he’s got a good record at the track and is back to a winning mark. A fast run six suits and, on his best form, he’s not out of it.

 

NEWMARKET

1:40

Miakoda (Pat Dobbs)

His two runs to date haven’t been that inspiring so he’s dropping back in trip, and we can look at Nurseries after this.

2:45

Love Billy Boy (Pat Dobbs)

He was a little disappointing at Yarmouth last time, but the ground was plenty quick enough and he stayed on well to score at Chester on softish ground before that. On the whole he’s pretty consistent and won’t be far away.

3:20

Miss Collada (Pat Dobbs)

I was happy with her run last time, when stepping up to six furlongs, and she’s a very tough filly. This is a valuable prize and she’s been in good shape at home.

 

WINDSOR

5:45

Siegen (Sam Hitchcott)

He’s a smart colt who was very impressive at Sandown, and while he was down the field last time, I’m not giving up on him just yet and wouldn’t be surprised to see him put up a better performance dropping down a grade.

Elyam (Sean Levey)

He was much too keen at Newmarket last time, so we’re putting the hood on which will hopefully get him to relax and he’s a colt who always shows a decent standard in his work. If he settles, he’ll go very close.

6:45

Persica (Sean Levey)

He’s won two nice races already this season and is a class horse in his own right. A bit of cut in the ground suits him best and ten furlongs around here will be right up his street. There’s no reason why he won’t show up well.

7:15

Bourgeoisie (Sean Levey)

She stayed on very well on her first run back at Windsor last time, over six, so the step up to a mile will be in her favour and that run will have sharpened her up a lot. She’s a capable filly and I expect her to go extremely well.
