Hot Horses To Follow

ARAZAN

John Oxx, trainer

“We are looking at the Dewhurst for him now and we just have to hope we get some decent ground. I would expect the ground to be right for us there hopefully, so that’s what we’re looking at.”

ASPEN DARLIN

Winner at Ayr on Saturday

Alan Bailey, trainer

“We have decided to supplement her for the Cheveley Park Stakes. She did it really well at Ayr and she has now won on good to firm ground and heavy so she seems versatile.”

KALAHARI GOLD

Winner at Newbury on Friday

Andrew Balding, trainer

“He’s improving rapidly and is going to be a really smart horse. We’ll go for the Challenge Stakes next.”

KATIYRA

John Oxx, trainer

“We are looking at the Prix de l’Opera for her now and I think she deserves to take her chance after her impressive win in the Blandford Stakes last time. She does handle soft ground and if the ground is going to be on the firm side of good in France, I’m not sure we would run. But as long as it’s not too quick, we will let her take her chance.”

LARKWING

Eric McNamara, trainer

“Whether he is good enough to win from his current rating is another question in a competitive race. There is also hurdling to go back to and I’d say he’ll either run in the Cesarewitch or the good hurdle at Tipperary.”

TAAMEER

Winner at Newbury on Friday

Marcus Tregoning, trainer

“This is the perfect race to introduce potential Classic winners. I hope this one might be, although there’s a long way to go. He’ll go for the Autumn Stakes at Ascot next – the Nayef route. He’s bred to stay a mile and a half and is only going to get better, especially with a winter on his back.”

TRAFFIC GUARD

Jane Chapple-Hyam, trainer

“I was thrilled with his run at Leopardstown and the plan is to take on the winner again in the English Champion Stakes. We are looking forward to have another crack at the winner at Newmarket.”

WAVE ASIDE

Winner at Newbury on Friday

Brian Meehan, trainer

“He did it well and we’ll play it by ear now, but he might be one for the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy.”
