LONE EAGLE (1.45pm – Zetland Stakes)
Next up I’m really looking forward to getting back aboard Lone Eagle who bids for his hat-trick in the Zetland Stakes having won his last two. He showed a really willing attitude at Doncaster last time and was well on top in the closing stages. The step up in trip looks sure to suit and I don’t really have any concerns about the ground. This is a step up in class though and he meets some classy colts, but he won’t be far away.....Sylvester
Nice one mate.
You can mark up that run aswell given how he was used in the race. Impressive indeed.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

The Tizzards are expecting great things from Eldorado Allen and he certainly started his chasing career impressively with a good win over the odds on favourite despite a near catastrophic blunder at the last. Other than that stumble he jumped very well and looked the part throughout. I’d be very surprised if he didn’t go on to better things and he’s definitely one to follow.

It seemed that Brian Hughes might be a significant booking, although there was no indication in the market which returned 16/1. He was kept lobbing along in the rear for most of the race and closed up to third very smoothly after the third last. Close up he was clumsy at the second last, continued in good vein but he found no extra and was not bashed about by Brian Hughes when the first two moved away in the final stages. I thought it was a very promising run.

Given his lofty hurdle standing (there are only 6 hurdlers rated higher by Timeform) it seemed that he only had to show that he could jump to run away with this despite the quality of his two opponents. And so it proved, he jumped well, gained confidence in his jumping as the race wore on and won comfortably. He’s going to be very hard to oppose in future and he really is an exciting prospect.

Eclair de Guye moved into the lead after the second out, but Bryony Frost looked unusually unbalanced to my eye, jumped the last awkwardly and didn’t ride much of a finish in going down by a neck with the rest four lengths away. It transpired that her saddle had slipped two out and that certainly couldn’t have helped. It might (or might not since the winner had a bit in hand) have made a difference, but it was still a decent run.

Keen and leading early on then fell back weaving about as green as grass, rejoined leading group after 5 and took lead 4 out having at last found some rhythm. He was well clear coming to the last only to swerve jump it awkwardly. Despite that he moved strongly away in the run in to win by nearly 5 lengths easing up. He can only get better.

Fergal’s horses seem to have gone off a touch after a purple patch, but Polish almost ran a decent race. He jumped the first as though it was The Chair then settled down in the rear where he stayed until he started improving his position before 4 out where he made a dreadful blunder that had him on his nose and almost stopped. Undeterred he went into third after 3 out and moved to challenged the leaders 2 out where he made another on his nose blunder stopping him in his tracks. None the less he was still in contention at the last and a close third, but he could do no more on the run-in and wasn’t pressed when the game was up. It could have been so much better.

I’d tuned into this race for Sizable Sam whose withdrawal was perhaps judicious given the impressive performance of the winner GRAND MOGUL who raced strongly in the first group until moving clear of the favourite before the last to win very comfortably by some seven lengths easing up. Said to prefer better ground I should think he’s destined for better things.
