Pepper spices up Fillies’ Mile
RACING: Two-yearold filly fancied for Newmarket success
CAYENNE PEPPER can provide Jessica Harrington with another toplevel juvenile success with victory in the bet365 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket.
The Moone-based trainer has assembled a formidable team of twoyear-old fillies this season, with Cayenne Pepper joined by Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Albigna, Cheveley Park Stakes winner Millisle and the Debutante Stakes scorer Alpine Star.
Cayenne Pepper looked well aboveaverage when making a winning start to career at Leopardstown in early June.
Quadrilateral has certainly looked the real deal in winning her two starts to date – prompting connections to supplement for this race. However, from a form perspective Cayenne Pepper has achieved far more – and she gets the vote as a result.
SHINE SO BRIGHT is fancied to bounce back to winning ways in the Group Two Godolphin Stud And Stable Staff Awards Challenge Stakes.
Many regard Chepstow’s two-day fixture as the start of the National Hunt season proper, with the Unibet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle the centrepiece on the opening afternoon. This Grade Two contest has been won by the likes of Reve De Sivola (2009), Silviniaco Conti (2010) and Blaklion (2014) in recent years and Alan King’s HARAMBE could be the one to following in their hoofprints.
And The William Haggas-trained HAMISH rates the best bet on the penultimate day of the season at York as it runs in the Parsonage Hotel and Ckloisters Spa Handicap Chase
