Hayley Moore previews the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot
Sky Sports Writers Hayley Moore guides you through the leading fancies from the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
It looks set to be a curtain-raiser that is breaking. The conditions look like theyre likely to be on the testing side so horses that act on ground on the side, heavy, are the ones.
After winning it at 17, the Tin Man will look for one more success in the race. Sands Of Mali looks like he will have. Because being kept in sprinting distances advertise has experienced a season that is rewarding, he has also turned out to be adaptable on the floor and his record at Ascot is another positive.
A number of the runners have taken every other on many occasions and reverse kind with one another so itll be a case of whos in greatest heart on the afternoon and who will go farther than the six furlongs as they will really should watch it out.
As soon as the Martyn Meade stable were beneath a cloud, he had been attempted in the 2000 Guineas at the start of the Flat season after finishing second to Too Darn Hot in the Dewhurst on his final beginning in two but failed to shape into a miler. Sprinting has been forced his game.
Showcasings son is edging towards the 1m mark in earnings. He will face the most extreme conditions he has ever lined up on within his career up to now, but theres hope he will deal with these conditions because his mommy Furbelow is by Pivotal.
He stayed on well over the six furlongs when the blinkers went for the first time and won the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on good to soft ground. He ran a race in behind a restored Six Sovereigns, who turned the shape on ground with Advertise in the July Cup and came out.
When we saw him when beating Brando by a throat advertise was right back in the groove in Deauville over furlongs at August.
Connections have needed to prevent the Haydock Sprint Cup, following a poor extent and also have swerved the Prix de la Foret so hopefully hell be viewed to his finest on British Champions Day for this race as his final swansong before a stallion career.
Trainer Kevin Ryan is nicely represented with seven-year-old Brando along with Hi Youmzain. The boy of Pivotal is usually consistent and has another fantastic season. Hes a horse that has form on earth easily inside and he works nicely at Ascot. Like The Tin Man, that he is not getting any younger but hes tough.
The stress is after travelling nicely through the Sprint Cup at Haydock, before being defeated for third by Waldpfad subsequently picked up that a blood-vessel burst. Perhaps he was that day, but I would be concerned the rear of the off.
The son of Shamardal of roger Varian is showing a real liking to the monitor, four successes in Ascot and three season, he took the Victoria Cup on good to soft at May over seven furlongs. He won the Wokingham more than six furlongs on good. He flopped at Newmarket at the July Cup at the level which is a worry, however, it was firm and away from Ascot.
Prior to return to winning ways again at Ascot in the Group two Bengough Stakes over six furlongs on gentle ground he then ran in the Group 2 City of York stakes for third-place complete. He is a real Ascot professional that could find him be competitive at the top level here.
Fantasy Of Dreams lined up in the race this past year and beat on one home. Since then he began this season with wins at Chelmsford and Windsor. This had been his third start of the season, at the Diamond Jubilee Stakes where he had been supporting Blue Point.
He is by ringing Ahead and has some good form on soft ground but he will require a revival. His conduct after Royal Ascot in Newmarket in the July Stakes never watched him figure either. Hopefully Ascot will bring him back to the right track.
The boy of Kodiac only started racing in August this past year and is already a winner four times from seven starts adding at the maximum level when shooting the Haydock Sprint Cup ahead of The Tin Man, even when he had been the fifth aspire to win at the race in the last six decades.
He won it from the front and came into that race. The goal following Haydock was British Champions Day in Ascot in the expectation he would have his preferred ground.
Hello Youmzain was previously next to market from the Commonwealth Cup – he had been slightly unsettled from the stalls so was slow off and ended up knocking towards the rear before showing a fantastic turn of foot to combine the leaders however just didnt quite have sufficient kick in the final furlong.
But we know he will love the ground so he could reverse the form. He is quite unexposed and runs consistently well for a sprinter in his career thus far.
Comes into this with recent shape following a very comfortable success from the Listed Waterford Testimonial Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday when pulling clear by a lengths.
A entry into the race will see him line up rising through an established liking for analyzing floor conditions along with the ranks with an handicap mark.
Make A Challenge started the year rated 66 to get Denis Hogan and will now boast a marker of 109. A well bred son of soul from Godolphin that cost these links just #6,500 in the sales.
Hes a horse of a life for connections and reminds you when purchasing a racehorse, that anyone can dream. It might be a fairytale when he works well, let wins but that he will desire a career best ending.
In the united kingdom we watched her back in actions for William Haggas over at Longchamp on Arc day due to lack of chances over seven furlongs in Group 1 level after a 63-day fracture.
Thankfully, heading and waiting to France was the right move since she kept on well to choose the Prix de la Foret ahead of City Light in what had been a competitive renewal to allow it to be back-to-back successes at the race for this for the girl of Fastnet Rock.
Very ground generally brings her finest performances, so relations are individual concerning where she conducts, along with the terms of Saturday are exactly what she relishes.
Clearly 1 Master is thriving at the moment and she heads in to the race in terrific form after a fantastic season to date (like third in the Queen Anne Stakes and second in the Falmouth Stakes) but her best run was last time out. We all know she will keep going on the six furlongs.
Weve not seen much of this past years winner this season and you can back him. However, back to Ascot and onto ground which brings out the very best of him we could see him bounce backagain.
After Deacon Blues won in 2011, fourth on his first series in this race because a three-year-old behind Muhaarar and then he was then victorious in the race in 2016 giving trainer James Fanshawe his second victory in the contest.
He was fifth in 2017 when shipped favourite in the renewal of the past year, if Librisa Breeze won and just seventh behind Sands. He is currently lining up for the next time in the race and that he comes after a run on his final start into it in good form.
The Tin Man had to go down in defeat if he couldnt very toss after unsatisfactory in Hello Youmzain on earth at Newbury in July and came out of the stalls. The Tin Man has some stalls clinic recently so hell be sharper away at Ascot.
Hes a classy sprinter who will relish the conditions, he won the Group 1 Sprint Cup in September 2018 on heavy ground so the more testing the better and he comes into the race away the back of a smart piece of work on the recently reopened trial ground in Newmarket. Without doubt well be seeing him made late under winner elect Oisin Murphy.
1 MASTER has been working all season and on earth for her ideal. After she won Longchamp she headed into Churchill Downs in which she ran a very fantastic race behind Expert Eye in defeat for fifth position. This year relations have options but look keen to attract her to Ascot which I respect. She will need to undo the shape Brando and Advertise from Deauville in August, however that I feel and shell get her Group 1 at a track also and that she has won been placed.
