SUNDAY, 30 MAY 2021 MYSTERY ANGEL SUPPLEMENTED FOR OAKS BIG CLASH AT George Boughey, one of the rising stars of the Newmarket PARISLONGCHAMP training ranks, is set to be represented by a first Classic runner after Listed Pretty Polly S. winner Mystery Angel (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}) was supplemented for Friday's G1 Cazoo Oaks at a cost of ,22,500. Owned by the Nick Bradley Racing syndicate, which has already had a Classic place-getter this season in Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}), Mystery Angel was last seen running fourth to Snowfall (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the G3 Tattersalls Musidora S. at York. The first four home in that contest all stand their ground at Epsom. Snowfall is currently second choice behind her stable-mate Santa Barbara (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), who has raced just twice in her life and was beaten just over a length when fourth in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. The duo could be joined by up to three stable-mates from Ballydoyle, with the list of potential runners for the fillies' Classic now stretching to 15 following the latest confirmation stage. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Musidora runner-up Noon Star Skalleti (Fr) | racingfotos.com (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) could renew her rivalry with Snowfall, along Sunday=s G1 Prix d=Ispahan at ParisLongchamp sees two of with third-placed Teona (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) from the France=s big names Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) and The Roger Varian stable. Her fellow Newmarket resident, the 1000 Revenant (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) go head-to-head over the unique Guineas runner-up Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), had a intermediate trip of nine furlongs 55 yards. While Skalleti has spin round Epsom on Monday and is now an intended runner for yet to strike at this exalted level despite holding the enviable Jane Chapple-Hyam. tally of seven group-race wins, his compatriot has won one of Cont. p3 the most prestigious of them all in Ascot=s G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. in October.

Skalleti=s trainer Jerome Reynier already has his eye on going one better than last year=s second in the G1 Qipco Champion S. and said, AWe felt running him in the Ganay a few weeks after the d=Harcourt was probably too much, so we=ve been kind on him and decided we=d go straight to the d=Ispahan with a bit of freshness.@ Reynier continued, AThe distance is on the short side and the ground will be on the firm side for him, but we can=t really expect much softer ground at this time of the year. The race that would have been best for him is the [G1] Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, but logistically it was impossible to travel the horse to Ireland with the staff and everything, so we decided we=d stay at home and we=re hoping for the best on Sunday. His target for 2021 is definitely the Champion Stakes--we=ll try to get our revenge on Addeybb.@ Francis-Henri Graffard said of The Revenant, AHe=s in good shape. Nine furlongs is a step up in trip for him and hopefully it does not dry too much--I hope the ground will not be too firm for him. The softer the better for him, so we=ll see. He=s in very good form and very happy. The [G1] Queen Anne [at Royal Ascot question mark for him, but he is in good form.@ June 15] is an option if the ground is suitable.@ Interestingly, the Muguet winner Duhail (Ire) (Lope de Vega Away from the main pair, TDN Rising Star Victor Ludorum {Ire}) is asked to race under a penalty dropping back for the (GB) (Shamardal) is impossible to rule out of the equation given seven-furlong G3 Prix du Palais-Royal on the same card. that he is a G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Apparently G1 Sussex S.-bound, Al Shaqab Racing=s improving 5- Lagardere winner who was set year-old has shown abundant some stiff tasks in 2020.
