TIM EASTERBY has made no secret of the high regard in which
he holds recent Chester scorer Mullaad.
The two-year-old son of Mull Of Kintyre rates nap material
in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on
Friday. Borderer witnessed this colt’s impressive turn of
foot when beating Coventry Stakes third Amadeus Wolf on the
Roodeye last month.
Connections had been confident of giving Kevin Ryan’s star a
race over that fast 5f, but Easterby will be hoping his
charge has learned from three racecourse appearances in
which ground was lost at the start. That could be costly
over this rapid 6f.
Crosspeace was running a big race before being badly
hampered at a vital stage in the valuable totesport
International Stakes on Saturday. The three-year-old
deserves another chance in the totesport Mile. Mark
Johnston’s son of Cape Cross won well at Newmarket on his
previous start and that form has worked out well.
David Barker is enjoying an outstanding season and the
Catteriek-based trainer bids for Group 3 success with
Mecca’s Mate in the Audi Stakes at Goodwood on Thursday.
This admirably tough mare showed a remarkable burst of speed
when beating experienced rivals in a competitive event at
last week.
Admittedly, the selection is better when able to get her toe
in, but there has been a lot of rain in the south and your
northern man will be backing
the four year-Old if there is no sting in the ground.
Torrent is holding his form remarkably well this season and
Richard Fahey’s three year-0ld could go well off a low
weight in the ladbroke.com handicap.
The son of Royal Anthem put together victories at Ripon and
Chester in the same week before finishing a creditable third
to Millagros at Hamilton last time.
Connections admitted the gelding took a long time to reach
peak fitness and his physique offers scope for improvement
Johnston boasts a superb record in the Group 2 Lady 0
Goodwood Cup and the Scotsman entered four horses at the
five-day stage. Borderer has always had a soft spot for
winged d’Argent and although he’s better suited by a
galloping track, this resolute four-year-old has a major
chance on official ratings.
Anthemioll always comes good at this time of year and Jane
McGregor’s front-running eight year- old bids for a
hat-trick in the im if handicap at Carlisle on Thursday.
Borderer was at Hamilton when the selection made all under a
canny ride from Andrew Mullen and the combination followed
UP under identical tactics at Ayr a few days later.
This stiff course is surprisingly suitable for front runners
and connections appear to have found another good opening.
Marias Magic returned to winning ways at Sandown last time
and her previous second to Turnstile also reads well.
Johnston’s four~year-Old filly will be joined by the
tracking the 2m 5f Goodwood Stakes tomorrow.
