Eydon looks done and dusted at Newmarket

Eydon could be the one to keep an eye on in an openlooking bet365 Feilden Stakes which headlines the final day of Newmarket’s Craven meeting.

Although still a maiden, it is of note that Roger Varian is keen to pitch the son of Olden Times in at Listed level as he looks to build the colt into a Classic contender. To add further spice to the mix, his sire won this race for owner Prince Faisal as a maiden in 2001.

An eye catching third on de but at Newcastle in December, Eydon was beaten a short head when sent off at odds-on on his return to the north east in February. However, he was unlucky to be mugged on the line on that occasion and showed a willing attitude when pressed in the closing stages.

That effort should have taught him plenty about racing and the extra furlong of this contest can play to his advantage.

John and Thady Gosden’s Audience can take the bet365 British EBF Conditions Stakes on just his second career start. The mount of Frankie Dettori was an impressive winner over track and trip on debut in October and is a half-brother to Group Three winner Dark Lady, also owned by Cheveley Park Stud.

Elsewhere at HQ, Ho rtz ad ar looks for compensation in the Pat Smullen Memorial Handicap following his near miss at Red car last time and could take plenty of beating off the same mark, while Robert Cowell saddles four in the concluding Price Promise At bet 365 Handicap, where recent Newcastle scorer Faustus could be the pick of his quartet.

The Glancing Queen can get back on track in the Stay In The Montpellier Town House Mares’ Handicap Chase that features on Cheltenham’s allmares card.

The eight-year-old was sent off at 4-1 for the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival on the back of a fine performance when second to L’homme Presse in the ‘Dipper’ on New Year’s Day and was in the process of running another big race before an untidy jump at the second-last put paid to her chances.

The New course at Prestbury Park clearly suits Alan King’s mare, who has some smart form figures at the Gloucestershire track and she can take advantage of a mark of 140 here at the expense of Paul Nicholls’ consistent, yet rare winner, Cut The Mustard.

Stuart Ed mu nds’ youngster got the better of the argument following wind surgery when they met at Huntingdon last month, but the latter was conceding a double penalty to the winner on that occasion and is much better off at the weights this time around as both make a first foray into the handicap ranks.
