News
So menacing is the presence of Paddington in Goodwood's Qatar Sussex Stakes that connections of last week's devastating July festival winner Nostrum are favouring a tilt at next month's Prix Jacques le Marois instead.
Ralph Beckett is hoping his prosperous link with Frankie Dettori can yield further success when the jockey returns to the saddle after suspension to ride Lezoo in the Group 3 bet365 Hackwood Stakes (3.00) at Newbury on Saturday. Beckett told the Punter “We had thought about going to the July Cup with her as she came out of Ascot in really good form, but we thought it was best to drop in grade for her next start, so that’s why we’re going on Saturday.”
The best stayer in training is on his way back to the track and could make a sensational return to action in the Irish St Leger on the second day of the Irish Champions Festival at the Curragh in September.
Kyprios is showing Aidan O'Brien all the right signs with the master trainer revealing to the Racing Post that he has returned to training in anticipation of an autumn campaign.
Savethelastdance is on track for the Irish Oaks at the week end, She has not been seen since being beaten when sent off the odds-on favourite in the Oaks at Epsom, where she didn't look at home on the track or on the fast ground and O'Brien thinks you will see a different filly on Saturday. He said: "Savethelastdance ran her heart out at Epsom and seems to be in good form. It will be different ground at the Curragh compared to what she ran on at Epsom and I think the track is going to suit her a lot better as well. It was always in our heads to go straight to the Irish Oaks after Epsom."
Inspiral is set to take on Paddington in next month's Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood after sailing through her first workout since her narrow comeback defeat at Royal Ascot. The daughter of Frankel, who is 4-1 second-favourite for the mile contest on August 2, enjoyed the freshly harrowed surface of the Al Bahathri Polytrack in Newmarket on Wednesday morning when first up the gallops from the John and Thady Gosden team just after 9.20am.
