Lantern to light up Sun Chariot
RAIN NO PROBLEM FOR HANNON FILLY
SNOW LANTERN (2.55, ITV4, nap) has the ability to outshine her rivals in today’s Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket. Since beating six of today’s rivals, including 1,000 Guineas winner Mother Earth, at Newmarket in July, Snow Lantern has not enjoyed the best of fortune.
On her penultimate start the grey arrived all too late when third behind Alcohol Free at Goodwood. Connections had hoped for compensation at
Longchamp where she failed to fire due to a virus.
Recent gallops suggest she is now back to her very best and the rain will not inconvenience this talented performer.
The progressive SWOON (1.45, ITV4) can make it three on the bounce in the EBF Handicap.
The Group race placed FEARBY
(2.20, ITV4) has the ability to shrug off his top weight in the Tattersalls Stakes.
At Ascot HURRICANE IVOR
(2.05, ITV, treble), considered for tomorrow’s Prix de l’Abbaye at Longchamp, has a far easier task in today’s Listed contest.
This former handicapper has beaten the majority of his rivals in the past and is still improving.
ALIGNAK (2.40, ITV4, nb), denied a run at Newmarket last weekend due to the firm ground, will relish today’s testing conditions and can turn the tables on Hukum, who had beaten him at Newbury last year.
KING’S LYNN (3.15, ITV4) looked to be returning to his best when behind Hurricane Ivor at Newbury last month.
He was unfortunate not to go close in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot when denied a clear run, beaten only three lengths by Oxted.The rain will be a huge plus for the wellhandicapped FRESH (3.50, ITV4). He was far from disgraced when beaten just over three lengths by Commanche Falls in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood.
The hard-working SYMPHONY PERFECT (3.35, ITV4) will be difficult to catch at Redcar.
ADAYAR (3.05, ITV tomorrow) can seal his status as the champion racehorse in Europe by capturing tomorrow’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.
The impressive Derby and King GeorgeVI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner, inset, has done nothing but improve throughout the season.
Alenquer represents the each-way value at 25-1.
