![]() Christophe Soumillon rides and I’m sure he will run a good race. “The horse is in great form and we are very happy with him. He proved last year that he could win first time out. Holloway Boy was always going to go straight to the Guineas without a prep run. Karl Burke - Holloway Boy, Indestructible and Flight Plan: “All three are very nice colts. He was never going to run in a trial as that would have meant starting earlier, and we were confident that on our gallops we could get him ready first time out.” Oliver Cole - Royal Scotsman: “He’s very fit and well and we are expecting a good performance. I would have liked to have been drawn a bit closer to the main rivals, but it is what it is. He’s got plenty of speed, so hopefully he can get away well and be right up there from the off, just like he was in the Dewhurst and the Champagne Stakes. Today would have done him good getting a bit of gas out of him."įrankie Dettori - Chaldean: “The way I see it, the fancied ones are drawn 11-13, so it’s not ideal being away from them, but Chaldean is a horse who can go and run his own race. You are hopeful he will get the mile but we are not going to test him over it before the Guineas and we will find out then. He has got loads of ability and I thought he looked lovely out there today. Roger Varian - Sakheer: “We wouldn’t be running him in it if we didn’t think he had a strong chance of getting the mile. The sounder the better for him in terms of ground and we will be a lot wiser after the race as to where his future lies." The trip is the big question but he settles well, which will hopefully give him the best opportunity of seeing out the mile. He has some great two-year-old form behind him and the Gimcrack run looks rock solid with the second and third both winning Group 3s this season, albeit over sprint distances. “I would imagine James will ride a patient race on Noble Style, as we are sitting on the fence as to whether he will get the trip. I genuinely feel that he could run a big race." He will see the mile out well, but we wouldn’t want too much rain. It is going to be a very interesting race, really.Ĭharlie Appleby - Silver Knott & Noble Style: "He ( Silver Knott) is proven on the track and we feel that he has a nice profile going into the race. We haven’t gone any further and obviously the other horse gallops through the line, which we expect him to be doing anyway. “Little Big Bear is getting home and he seems to be covering the last furlong well. Both of them are doing most of their work over seven furlongs and it looks lovely for both. If you put them together, you don’t know. Little Big Bear hasn’t run near this distance at all and obviously two furlongs is a long way in a horse race. Aidan O'Brien - Auguste Rodin & Little Big Bear: “Auguste Rodin is going to get the trip – we’ve seen that before.
