RACING: Sylvester Kirk keen to follow blueprint of Golden Horn

THE FERRET

SALOUEN can take a starring role on the opening day of Newmarket’s Craven Meeting by winning the bet365 Feilden Stakes.

This nine-furlong heat was the starting point for subsequent Derby hero Golden Horn a couple of years ago, and Sylvester Kirk is obviously keen to follow that blueprint with his classy charge.

REPERCUSSION is something of a dark horse and could be worth following in the Plusvital Racing Genepak Handicap.

The Manduro gelding will be making his British debut for Charlie Fellowes after being bought from Godolphin for £40,000 at Goffs last autumn.

Godolphin decided Repercussion was going to fall short of expectations, but he was not entirely devoid of promise during his time with Andre Fabre, winning at Clairefontaine last July and finishing second on each of his three other outings.

Fellowes has made no secret of the fact he has reasonably high hopes for his new recruit and, while the handicapper has pitched him in at the deep off 95, Repercussion will need that kind of rating if he is to contest the bigger handicaps this term.

SALSABEEL holds a clutch of Classic options at this stage. If he is to tackle events such as those, he should be winning the EBF Stallions bet365 Conditions Stakes.

BULDAN has been the subject of promising gallops whispers and could be the solution to the tricky puzzle that is always the bet365 Wood Ditton Maiden Stakes.

Away from Newmarket, PASSCODE can hit the mark in the totequadpot At Betfred.com Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Southwell. SELECTIONS: NEWMARKET: 1.50 Buldan, 2.20 Sound And Silence, 2.55 Salsabeel, 3.30 Repercussion, 4.05 SALOUEN (NAP), 4.35 Jewel House, 5.05 Oh So Sassy. SOUTHWELL: 2.10 Inflexiball, 2.45 Tatting, 3.20 Passcode, 3.55 Robero, 4.25 Eium Mac, 4.55 Jazz Legend, 5.25 Ascendant.

DOUBLE: Salouen and Repercussion.
