MILLISLE (3.35) gave the impression she would benefit from a longer trip during a successful first season and looks sure to go close in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
Oisin Murphy, bidding for a Classic double after steering Kameko to victory in yesterdays 2000 Guineas, is an excellent booking by Jessica Harrington and the Irish filly beat off Raffle Prize and French raider Tropbeau when powering clear close home in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes here last September.
Quadrilateral, wearing a tongue-tie for the first time today, heads the market and the daughter of Frankel is unbeaten in three starts. Roger Charlton’s filly had Love back in third spot when landing the Bet365 Fillies’ Mile at HQ last October but it should be closer this time, with Aidan O’Brien confident Love will improve for a step up in trip. She has the look of an Oaks filly but doesn’t lack speed.
DAVYDENKO (2.25) tasted defeat only once in five starts last campaign, his most impressive performance coming here over a mile in August. Sir Michael Stoute expects his colt to improve further over the longer distance.
Cambridgeshire third Good Birthday represents red-hot Andrew Balding and his gelding holds a narrow Beverley verdict over another of today’s rivals, the William Haggas-trained Desert Icon. Mark Johnston saddles dual all-weather scorer Sky Defender in a cracking affair.
There is also a star-studded card at Haydock where FANNY LOGAN (2.05) is taken to continue last season’s good work. The Gosden-trained filly needs to give away 3lb all round after reeling off four straight wins before an excellent Breeders’ Cup fourth at Santa Anita. The daughter of Sea The Stars should appreciate this 1m 4f test.
She meets some serious rivals, headed by Oaks fourth Manuela De Vega, while Vivionn representing the Stoute camp.
SPACE BLUES (3.15) was a classy seven-furlong specialist last season, scoring over that trip at Epsom and York, and isn’t one to pass over in the Listed event. The Godolphin colt was pipped by Space Traveller in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot and should just outgun Happy Power and Safe Voyage, two leading rivals well at home with some cut underfoot.
Well done the winners yesterday,pants for myself and War of Courage gets beat by a nose at Sha Tin too. 👎

Since 2010, the winner of this race had previously ran over 1m which I think is significant.
Only 7 of this field have run over the 1m distance previously.
I dont think Millisle or Raffle Prize will stay. Millisle’s sire did win a group 1 over 1m in Aus but having only run over 6f is a negative and i just couldnt back a horse that “might stay” Raffle Prize is by Slade Power who was a sprinter.
Quadrilateral by Frankel has the best form going into the race and had Love and Boomer behind when winning the group 1 last oct. The ground that day was gd/sft and should be firmer today which will suit Boomer and I expect her to give a good account. But I also think Love will come on and by Galileo will be sure to have progressed from 2-3. It’s also interesting that shes AOB’s only representative in the race.
I have my doubts about Quadrilateral. She did hit a flat spot in that group 1 win and only just got up and this race will be run at a blistering pace and with the ground being firmer she may not get back up this time. I’m also not a fan of Charlton as a trainer and fav’s have a poor enough record in the race with only 4/18 winning.
It’s not a race I’ve got heavily involved in so have just had a speculative ew punt on Shimmering at 16’s with 5 places pp.
A negative is it might come too soon for her but she has run and won over 1m even if that was a class 5 maiden at lingfield but the 3rd 4th and 7th came out and won next time.
It’s a big step up for this horse but by Lupe de Vega (French guineas and derby winner) will get the trip no problem and the Gosden/Frankie combo doesn’t need much convincing to have a punt.

Sangarius 5/2 2.40 Haydock
Was due to run at newmarket but was taken out due to the firm ground.
It’s the toughest test hes faced to date up against 120 rated Elarqam but I still think theres much more to come from this horse and will be one I’ll be following throughout the season.
Never picked up.
I wont give up on him just yet though
