Force with Cheveley Park.

Quote:

Lethal Force will retire to stud at the end of the season after being purchased by Cheveley Park Stud.

The four-year-old won the Group Two Hungerford Stakes last term but has really come of age this season, dropping back to six furlongs to win the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and the July Cup at Newmarket.

He was last seen finishing second to Moonlight Cloud in the six-and-a-half-furlong Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last month and is the ante-post favourite for Saturday's Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.

The form could hardly be stronger with Duchess Of Cambridge runner-up Rizeena subsequently taking gold in a thrilling Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, edging out Royal Ascot winner Kiyoshi and the previously unbeaten Tapestry.

Connections of Simenon are "committed" in their pursuit of the Emirates Melbourne Cup - even though the talented stayer is not yet guaranteed a place in the final line-up.

The six-year-old gelding, runner-up in both the Ascot Gold Cup and the Lonsdale Cup at York this season, has been allotted 8st 6lb for the world's richest handicap at Flemington on November 5.

That form was franked at the weekend when Maxios ran out an easy winner of the Prix du Moulin, and Planteur has proved by finishing third in the last two Dubai World Cups that on his day he is a top-class performer.

Clive Cox is hopeful Reckless Abandon will be ready to return to the fray in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp on October 6.

The Lambourn trainer reports the three-year-old colt to be over the hamstring problem that prevented him from running in the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock earlier this month.

"Obviously we were disappointed he didn't run at Haydock. He has responded well to treatment and I'm pleased he's moving forward. The time that it has taken to get him back on the right road I'm still hopeful he may make the Abbaye, but in the scheme of things it's still a little bit early to commit," said Cox.

After initially travelling well into the dip, Berkshire did not show the explosive acceleration that was evident at Ascot and Somewhat made him pull out all the stops, despite finishing behind him at the Royal meeting. Jim Crowley managed to galvanise Berkshire to win by a neck, with the rank outsider Sir Jack Layden running a massive race in a close-up third.
