Monday means Windsor and the headline grabbing pair of Richard Hughes and Richard Hannon both have live chances and will be aiming to build upon their sumptuous performances at Glorious Goodwood. There is also racing elsewhere at Ripon, Carlisle and Wolverhampton.
The Mark Johnston stable remain in good form with two winners at Glorious Goodwood and the stable have Pacquita in the fillies maiden at 2.15. She looks the part on paper being out of a Grade 1 winner in South America and by the fantastic sire Dubawi. Despite Kevin Ryan’s Sukari Gold it looks like a fairly ordinary maiden and the yard have sent out twenty 2-y-o winner this season already.
Dame Nellie Melba goes for the same connections in the mile and a quarter handicap at 3.15 and she was put up when running at Beverley last month. She ran well in defeat that day but made up for it when beating David Lanigan’s Progenitor at Leicester on her next start. Although up 5lb for that win, her 8lb weight for age pull makes her still very appealing. She will take all the beating and is my best bet of the day.
At Windsor, Hoku (6.30) has proven an expensive filly to follow but she has her excuses and providing she is able to get the rub of the green she can shed her maiden tag at the sixth attempt. She goes over six furlongs again after previously chasing home John Gosden’s well bred filly Dorothy B at Nottingham. We can ignore her run at Lingfield due to her falling out of the stalls and rated 83, she sets a very good standard.
The sprint handicap at 7.00 looks to revolve around recent winners O’ Gorman, School Fees and Bajan Bear, which could leave the Robert Cowell trained Arctic Lynx going under the radar at a tasty price. He was four lengths behind subsequent winner and subsequent Stewards Cup favourite Tropics over course and distance and has run well in all four starts since. He followed a win at Kempton with a second at Yarmouth and a 1lb for those efforts leaves the six year old well handicapped.
African Oil was well backed to win last time out at Bath and can follow up for Charlie Hills in the 7.30. He ran with credit in his first two starts of the season but ran far too free. His gelding operation showed him to be far more settled and his new style of running should ironically give the three year old a new lease of life.
The afternoon card at Wolverhampton sees Bang Tidy return to the scene of his last win here in December and it is interesting that he is stepped up to a mile on his eighth start at the track. He is down the mark from his last win and his form reads rather well with a win and a second to his name. National Hunt jockey Aidan Coleman continues to ride for the yard having his first winner on the flat last month.
The maiden at 5.00 looks to have some very smartly bred fillies including Sugarcraft, Sagresse, Duchess of Seville and Quantify but the stand-out entry is Conserve for Lady Jane Cecil and Tom Queally. She cost 80,000 guineas at the sales and made an eye-catching debut last year when running in a Leicester maiden behind the likes of Lady Nouf and Secret Gesture. The stable are in good form and have an astonishing 33% Strike rate with their 3-y-o’s this season – the filly should go close.
