PRINCE VECTOR (2.00) looked the likely winner at Windsor
last time when moving to the front with 4f to go in a lm4f
handicap. Unfortunately for him, he was cut down late by
Scriptwriter.
Alan King’s three-year-old colt had previously been
runner-up at the same venue in a 1m2f handicap. This 1m3f
distance is between the two and it could
be the answer. Windsor although by no means a replica
of Goodwood, has its share and turns, and the selection
should handle the track. The handicapper has given him a
chance, raising him 1lb since his last run.
Sir Michael Stoute is to be feared in this type of race
with lightly raced sorts and his Dubal Venture could be more
than a handicapper.
Ignore his latest run at Ripon where something was amiss.
Concentrate instead on his close second at Sandown the time
before, when he got off to a slow start. He must have fast
ground though.
The Group 3 Jersey Stakes could hold the key to the second
race with two of the York contenders, HOME AFFAIRS (2.30)
and Oude, taken to be in the shake-up
Home Affairs came third at the Royal meeting and if
Proclamation, the winner of that event, follows up in the
Sussex Stakes on Wednesday, it will be big tip.
The 7f trip was too short for Stoute’s three-year old colt,
especially as he had only just got up over a mile the time
before when winning the Silver Bowl at Haydock.
We can safely ignore his recent fourth at Chantilly (Group 1
Prix Jean Prat) because the bit came out of his mouth in the
first furlong. It was therefore an exceptjonal effort to
finish within a length of the winner Turtle Bowl. Saeed Bin
Suroor’s Oude was having his first run of the season in the
Jersey in which he only beat two home.
He rounded off last term with a third to Etlaala in
Doncaster’s Champagne Stakes and if he could find that form
again he would be a threat.
Aidan O’Brien’s HITCHCOCK (4.20) was uneasy in the market on
his debut at The Curragh in mid-July. He almost certainly
needed the run and finished fourth. He’ll be sharper in the
two-year-old maiden.
QUSOOR (4.55) has two other nursery options this week but is
good enough for this competitive heat. She made all last
time out at Ripon and had something in hand.
With Richard Fahey in form, DANELOR (5.30) makes plenty of
appeal in the concluding apprentice handicap.
