London calling for Amazing

WILLIAM Haggas and James Doyle had a great time at York earlier this week which bodes well for the chances of ADDEYBB (3.40) in the Group One Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes run over the straight Newbury mile. This progressive four-yearold bolted up in Group Two company at Sandown in April suggesting he can handle this step up in class.

HE’S AMAZING (3.00) showed a resolute attitude to land a Newmarket handicap at the beginning of the month off a rating of 82, so Clive Cox’s beast has every chance of following up in the Al Zubarah London Gold Cup off a revised mark of 88.

Don’t be worried by the fact that Adam Kirby is riding the stable’s other runner, Connect, as he can’t do 8st 8lb.

In the Listed Shalaa Carnarvon Stakes, EQTIDAAR (1.50, pictured) will take all the beating if he reproduces his cracking effort when runner-up in a Group Three affair run over today’s six-furlong trip at Ascot just over a fortnight ago.

Sir Michael Stoute’s son of Invincible Spirit has had only three career starts so has ample scope to improve into a top-class sprinter.

The last time we sighted MONADEE (8.20) was at Kempton Park in December when he accounted for the now-96-rated Breathless Times in a six-furlong maiden.

Roger Varian’s three-year-old has undergone a wind operation since and he looks well treated racing off a mark of 82 in the SunBets Handicap at Doncaster.
