While the G2 King George S.

AUnlike Ascot, he Newmarket=s G3 Abernant S. enjoyed a lovely clear run and over six furlongs Apr. 18. Hughesie rode him perfectly, but Subsequently off the board in I can assure everyone that if both the May 15 G2 Duke of they thought he looked a bit York S. and G3 Ballyogan S. at useful at Goodwood, then they Leopardstown June 13, she should see him in the mornings Toronado Tickled Pink dropped to this trip and duly on the gallops,@ his trainer said. Racing Post Racing Post regained the winning thread in AWe have been blessed with fast the G3 Sandown Sprint last ground for a while now, and the turn of foot he shows time July 6.

Sean luckless trip was Cheveley Park Stud=s veteran Levey has done such a great job in getting Toronado Kingsgate Native (Ire) (Mujadil), who took this four settled, but Hughesie rode him in his final workout last years ago and has looked something like the force of weekend, and when he got off he told me that the only old so far this term. Penalized for his win in Haydock=s horse who has ever given him that sort of feel was G2 Temple S. May 25, the 8-year-old will find the Canford Cliffs. We have been very lucky to have had addeed weight difficult to defy against Lordship Stud=s some top-class horses here over the years, but we all Swiss Spirit (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who was just a reckoned that Canford Cliffs was the best until neck behind in that contest at level weights.

Ideally we=d We will stick to a mile this year, and we will talk to the like the ground to dry up a little bit for him.@ Swiss owner and make a plan as to where to go next. Spirit=s owner-breeder Trevor Harris told PA Sport, AI Deauville will probably come a bit quick, but we will think if he can reproduce his Temple run, he=d have a leave it a week before making a decision, and the very good chance. If the ground is good or faster, that G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. at Ascot in September would will suit him. The one question we would have is how be the obvious race. Who knows, Dawn Approach he will handle the track. Hopefully he=ll be all right, but might turn up there too. Toronado is now 13 kilos he is quite a big horse. If he runs his race, then he's heavier than he was in the Guineas--he is so much more going to be there or thereabouts.@ relaxed since we switched him from Everleigh to Herridge and obviously the spoon-bit that we fitted before Royal Ascot has made all the difference to his Sharing Tools Now Available on breathing.
