Siskin Prevails in Phoenix Thriller SATURDAY, 10 AUGUST 2019 ROSE OF LANCASTER TAKES CENTRE STAGE SISKIN PREVAILS IN Saturday=s action in Europe is more low-key than of late, due PHOENIX THRILLER largely to the gap between Goodwood and York=s Ebor meeting and also to the fact that The Curragh staged their Phoenix S. card on Friday evening. At Haydock, the G3 Rose of Lancaster S. sees Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) look to build on his win in Royal Ascot=s Listed Wolferton S. June 18 and second to Elarqam (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the July 27 G2 York S. and Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum=s G2 Sandown Mile winner of last year has his favoured soft ground. AHe seems in good form,@ trainer William Haggas commented. AHe ran well at York, but I don=t think he ran as well as he did at Ascot.@ Heading the opposition is George Strawbridge=s Feb. 23 G3 Winter Derby winner Wissahickon (Tapit) who runs on turf for the first time since winning the prestigious Cambridgeshire H. at Newmarket in September.

Held up in fourth early by Colin Keane, the 10-11 favourite cruised into a challenging position on the far side heading to two out where battle was joined with Monarch of Egypt who he had beaten in the course-and-distance G2 Railway S. Looking to be losing out in that tussle until the final 100 yards, the Juddmonte homebred began to assert as the line neared and had 3/4 of a length to spare there, with a head back to the G2 July S. winner and early pace-setter Royal Lytham (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) in third. AI want to thank Prince Khalid Abdullah for putting me in his training ranks and for giving me a horse of this quality to train so soon,@ trainer Ger Lyons said. AEvery drop of rain that fell took a year off my life and I was worried that this had the makings of a messy race, but in the end it was a cracking Group 1.@ Unproven on ground slower than good, having shown a slick turn of acceleration on debut at Naas May 11 and in the May 24 Listed Marble Hill S. and June 29 Railway over this track and trip, Siskin was ridden with unerring confidence by Keane despite concerns over the effect of the heavy rain.
