HORN SOUNDS FOR AID
HUNTING HORN (3.35) can book his place in Aidan O’Brien’s Derby squad by landing the Chester Vase.
Promising at two, the son of Camelot landed his maiden in game style at Naas before staying on strongly to take third behind Sevenna Star in the Sandown Classic Trial.
The colt is clearly a class act and should be open to even more improvement stepped up to 1m 4f under Ryan Moore.
Team Ballydoyle run three in BY GARRY OWEN the Cheshire Oaks so it’s notable that Moore has opted to partner
(2.25). The Galileo filly was seventh on her debut at Leopardstown in October but really caught the eye when third to Jaega on her return at the Foxrock venue.

MAGIC WAND NO LIPPY
opening Lily Agnes Stakes for the in-form Mark Johnston.
The Oasis Dream juvenile showed a terrific attitude to score on her debut at Doncaster last month and looks the type to run up a sequence for her shrewd handler.
(3.00) can sparkle for Joseph Tuite in the Boodles Diamond Handicap.
The Kyllachy filly showed some respectable form in Listed company last season and this well-handicapped type will take
LOOKS A MILLION
all the beating from a cracking draw in Stall 1.
High-quality Jump action at Kelso where (4.15) can bounce back to his best in the Scotty Brand Handicap Chase. Ruth Jefferson’s gelding is a classy two-miler on his day and can take advantage of a drop in grade.
(3.10) catches the eye for thriving Micky Hammond in the Kelso Handicap Hurdle.
The ex-French gelding has upped his game since tackling long distances and remains on
DOUBLE W’S WITNESS
a workable mark after his easy Wetherby success in March.
The Middleham handler can double up in the Bedmax Chase with (3.45).
The nine-year-old recorded a career best over fences when third to Lowanbehold on his first try at 3m 2f at Hexham in November and should be fit after a spin on the all-weather.
