Addeybb to hit mile high

-

ADDEYBB looked a Group horse in disguise when romping to victory in the Lincoln at Doncaster and can confirm that impression by winning the bet365 Mile at Sandown.

William Haggas has made no secret of how much he rates the Pivotal gelding and the horse’s talent was very much in evidence as he made a mockery of one of the most competitiv­e handicaps in the calendar.

Always travelling strongly, he put the race to bed by showing a smart turn of foot in difficult conditions and went on to score in tremendous style with two decent performers, Lord Glitters and Mitchum Swagger, giving the form plenty of substance by filling the places.

Haggas nominated this Group Two as the next port of call straight after the Lincoln and Addeybb can make it mission accomplish­ed.

Martyn Meade had the bet365 Classic Trial in mind for CHILEAN after the Iffraaj colt took the Group Three Prix de la Force at Longchamp earlier this month.

There is every reason to believe his plan can also come to fruition.

Winner of a Listed contest and sixth in the Racing Post Trophy, it would be no surprise to see Chilean in a Classic in the coming months as long as he continues to progress as he has been doing.

FABRICATE, carrying the Queen’s colours, is worth supporting in the bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes after a convincing win in the Magnolia Stakes at Kempton on his seasonal return.

Same Circus has won two handicaps in likeable fashion and can take the step up to Listed company in her stride in the TBA Fair Maid Of Perth Novices’ Chase at the Scottish venue for trainer Donald Mccain.

SELECTIONS: PERTH: 1.30 Birch Vale, 2.05 One For Harry, 2.40 Same Circus, 3.15 Castletown, 3.45 As De Pique, 4.15 Mill Forge, 4.45 Fago, 5.15 Bluefortyt­wo.

SANDOWN: 1.50 Kings Shield, 2.25 Fabricate, 3.00 Chilean, 3.35 ADDEYBB (NAP), 4.05 Spoof, 4.35 Must Be Magic, 5.05 Dubhe.

DOUBLE: Addeybb and Chilean.
