KING GEORGE AIM FOR COURT.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Trainer Martin Keighley is eyeing the William Hill King George VI Chase as the main objective in the first half of the season for Champion Court.

The Condicote handler would ideally like to get two runs into the seven-year-old before Kempton's Boxing Day feature.

"Champion Court has done really well over the summer and we are slowly stepping his work up now," said Keighley.

HAYDOCK TRIP ON CARDS FOR CUE.

Quote:

Colin Tizzard has nominated the Betfair Chase at Haydock as an early-season target for his stable star Cue Card.

The six-year-old shot to prominence with an incredible performance in the 2010 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he has continued to impress over hurdles and fences for the past two seasons.

START SWITCH AMONG NATIONAL CHANGES.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Aintree and the British Horseracing Authority have announced a number of changes that will be implemented for the 2013 John Smith's Grand National.

One of the key measures is moving the position of the start for the world's most famous steeplechase forward 90 yards, away from the crowds and grandstands, among other changes to the starting procedure.

This means the distance of the race will now be around four miles and three and a half furlongs, reduced from the previous distance of four and a half miles.

METAL PRIMED FOR MILL REEF TILT.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...s&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Mark Johnston's Heavy Metal heads a field of eight colts declared for the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

The youngster has to carry a Group Two penalty for winning the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and has subsequently run an excellent second to Blaine in the Gimcrack Stakes at York.

Mick Channon's Cay Verde was behind Heavy Metal on those two occasions, but renews rivalry on the back of winning a Group Three race at Chantilly earlier this month.
WENTWORTH FOLLOWS SOME GREAT NAMES.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...s&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Richard Hannon's Wentworth attempts to add his name to an impressive roll-call in the Haynes, Hanson and Clark Stakes at Newbury on Friday.

Although lacking in true star quality in very recent times, the two-year-old mile conditions race has been a launchpad for four Derby winners in Henbit, Shergar, Shahrastani and Authorized - although the latter pair did not actually win this event - as well as the likes of Rainbow Quest, Unfuwain and King's Theatre.

Yes he should run well on the predicted heavy ground.

BORDER BIDS TO STRIKE AYR GOLD.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Borderlescott's part-owner James Edgar would love his pride and joy to give his huge army of followers one last reason to cheer him home in Saturday's William Hill Ayr Gold Cup.

The veteran sprinter is likely to retire after he runs in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp on Arc weekend, so this should to be his last run in Britain.

While he has been trained throughout his career by Robin Bastiman near Wetherby, Edgar and fellow owner William Donaldson are Scottish through and through and would love nothing better than to win this race.

BOTTI SWEET ON MOOHAAJIM CHANCE.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Marco Botti believes the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes represents a "good opportunity" for the exciting Moohaajim to get back on the winning trail.

The two-year-old looked particularly smart when making a winning debut at Ascot in July, giving connections confidence to throw him straight into Group One company for the Prix Morny at Deauville, where he performed with enormous credit to finish fifth following a troubled passage.

VERDE READY FOR MILL REEF TEST.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Connections of Cay Verde have high hopes for their promising juvenile in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

Mick Channon's juvenile was a good winner in the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh earlier this season, and ended his losing run when scoring with his head in his chest at Chantilly.

David Redvers, racing manager for owners Qatar Racing, said: "He seems to be in top form and I'm glad the race looks suitable for him. We're looking forward to it. He seems to have got a bit of confidence from winning in France, where he bolted up."

CAPTAIN TAKES CHARGE FOR GOLD

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Pat Smullen enjoyed a convincing success on Captain Ramius in the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup on his first ride at the Scottish track.

The multiple Irish champion made the most of the opportunity as he helped trainer Kevin Ryan to back-to-back victories in Europe's richest sprint handicap.

Sholaan took the field along until a furlong out where Captain Ramius (16-1) was produced to storm into the lead, and he soon put the race to bed to win by two and a half lengths from 2008 hero Regal Parade (25-1), with 8-1 favourite Maarek a further length and a quarter away in third.

BOTTI STAR ENJOYS REEF ENCOUNTER

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat


Quote:

Moohaajim produced a high-class performance to take the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury.

The Marco Botti-trained youngster was fifth on just his second start in the Prix Morny behind Reckless Abandon, when not enjoying the best of runs, and was sent off as the 5-2 favourite to gain compensation.

ABBAYE AIM FOR NEWBURY WINNER

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun

David Elsworth's three-year-old Swiss Spirit (3-1 favourite) beat some hardened sprinters to collect his first Group race in the Dubai International Airport World Trophy at Newbury.

SPIRIT SHINES IN NEWBURY TEST

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun


Quote:

Black Spirit delighted Clive Cox with his continued return to top form in the Dubai Duty Free Arc Trial at Newbury.

Alan Spence's gelding was a great hope for the stable at one time, but it has never quite panned out as expected and he had only returned with a belated victory at Doncaster last week after a near three-month lay-off.

AIGLES PRIMED FOR DOLLAR RETURN

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon


Quote:

Cirrus Des Aigles is set to return to action in the Qatar Prix Dollar at Longchamp on October 6.

Trainer Corine Barande-Barbe reports the six-year-old to be back in fine shape ahead of his prep run for the Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 20. Cirrus Des Aigles was second in the Prix Dollar last year before going on to win the Champion Stakes.

BUICK LOOKING FORWARD TO ARC TILT

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:

William Buick is counting down the days to Nathaniel's bid for glory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on October 6.

Trained by John Gosden, Nathaniel has won the Eclipse this season as well as being second in the King George to Danedream and the Irish Champion Stakes to Snow Fairy. He is likely to meet those two high-class fillies again in France, but Buick admits he would prefer some juice in the ground.

RAIN FEAR FOR FAIRY BID

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon


Quote:

Ed Dunlop fears the current spell of wet weather may force him to rethink his Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe plans for Snow Fairy.

Having returned from a serious injury better than ever, the globetrotting mare earned her place in the end-of-season showpiece by beating Nathaniel and St Nicholas Abbey in the Irish Champion Stakes.
