Willie Mullins has raised the idea of stepping up in trip with Hurricane Fly after he was beaten at both the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals.

The 10-year-old saw his nine-race unbeaten run snapped when only fourth behind Jezki in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and he again finished behind that rival at Punchestown last week.

Rizeena aiming for Irish redemption.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:

Clive Brittain is "certain" Rizeena did not show her true colours in Sunday's 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and expects her to bounce back in Ireland later this month.

Following a juvenile campaign that saw her win four of her eight starts, including the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, the three-year-old was among the leading contenders for the first fillies' Classic of the year.

Odds-on Magician leaves it late.

Aidan O'Brien plans to follow a tried and tested route with Magician after the dual Group One winner left it late to claim the High Chaparral European Breeders Fund Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh.

The master of Ballydoyle had saddled the previous four winners of the Group Three contest in Fame And Glory, So You Think, Windsor Palace and Camelot.

Toormore team wait for results.

Connections of Toormore are hoping the results of the tracheal wash taken on Tuesday morning from their beaten 2000 Guineas candidate come back clean.

Middleham Park Racing expect to hear from Richard Hannon on Wednesday but Tim Palin, racing manager for the syndicate, hopes it is case of the Classic coming too soon after his win in the Craven Stakes rather than the colt being under the weather.

Sue swoops for Cup glory.

Quote:

Suegioo swooped late to deny fellow Dr Marwan Koukash-owned runner Angel Gabrial in a dramatic finish to the StanJames.com Chester Cup.

Koukash was responsible for no less than five of the 17 runners and his pair battled it out up the straight, with 10-1 shot Suegioo proving half a length too good in the hands of Ryan Moore, despite Angel Gabrial carrying him right across the track.

Anipa on target in Cheshire Oaks.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Anipa caused a minor shock in the Weatherbys Private Banking Cheshire Oaks at Chester when continuing her progression with a gritty success.

Coming in off the back of two previous wins, Roger Varian's filly was nibbled at in the market but was still sent off at 16-1.

Oisin Murphy tried to nick it from the front on Secret Pursuit and had everything else in trouble, but Andrea Atzeni was aware of his move and asserted in the shadow of the post, scoring by half a length.

Orchestra hangs on for Vase glory.

Orchestra narrowly held off Romsdal to give Aidan O'Brien another winner in the MBNA Chester Vase.

The Ballydoyle inmate appeared set to convincingly claim the Group Three over an extended mile and a half as he breezed into the lead two furlongs out, getting the perfect gap on the rail.

War declared for Curragh assault.

Quote:

Aidan O'Brien is planing his usual all-out assault on the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas as he goes in search of a 10th win in the Classic at the Curragh on May 24.

Having claimed the last three renewals of the race with Roderic O'Connor, Power and Magician, his team will this year be spearheaded by War Command, winner of the Dewhurst as a two-year-old but unplaced in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

"War Command will definitely take his chance in the race and we will probably have one or two other runners," said O'Brien.

Kingfisher swoops for Dee prize.

Quote:

Kingfisher got on top close home to give Aidan O'Brien another win in the Betfair Cash Out Dee Stakes at Chester.

Having taken the prize for the last two years with Astrology and Magician, who subsequently went on to win the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the Breeders' Cup Turf, O'Brien saddled two this time.

Kingfisher was having his sixth start under Joseph O'Brien whereas Century was having just his third run for Ryan Moore and that experience showed when the pace quickened with half a mile to run

Brown Panther sparked dreams of Ascot Gold Cup glory for Michael Owen after his pride and joy downed hot favourite Hillstar to win the Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes at Chester.

Former England star Owen, who bred the six-year-old, was brought to tears when he won at Royal Ascot three years ago and since then there have been other highlights.

Sky's the limit for Snow.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...r+Snow&day=Sat

Quote:

Snow Sky proved far too good for his rivals in the Betfred.com Derby Trial Stakes at Lingfield.

Double Bluff tried to make all the running and was still in the lead with three furlongs to go, but they were lining up in behind to challenge, with the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Snow Sky (5-1) making smooth progress to hit the front in the Khalid Abdullah colours.

Jim Crowley did not have to be too hard on him to run out a two-length winner over Hartnell, with Godolphin's Sudden Wonder making eyecatching late progress to claim third, a further half a length adrift. Aidan O'Brien's challenger Mekong River was a major disappointment.

Beckett strikes with Honor.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun

Quote:

Honor Bound proved the best of trainer Ralph Beckett's three entries as she landed the Betfred £7.5 Million Scoop6 Today Oaks Trial Stakes at Lingfield.

Queen's Prize set the early gallop, with 11-4 favourite Casual Smile seemingly poised to challenge on the inside rail, until Momentus and Criteria began to race in earnest.

Casual Smile found nothing for pressure and faded out while, in contrast, Honor Bound flew inside the final furlong. The 12-1 chance edged out Criteria by a nose in the hands of Joe Fanning, who was replacing the injured James Doyle, with a further length and three-quarters back to Momentus.
