We\u2019ve been pleased with him over the winter and this looks the perfect race for him. He\u2019s a Group 2 winner but carries no penalty and I\u2019m looking forward to it. He\u2019s in great form and we\u2019ll find out where we are with him on Saturday. He\u2019s a naturally fast horse and if he stays further he\u2019ll be very good. <\/p>\n<p>I just think we had to stick to the sprinting route to start with, there\u2019s plenty of races at the backend of the season if we wanted to step him up in trip. The last thing I wanted to do was go for a mile and find out we didn\u2019t stay, we\u2019ve been down that route with Perfect Power.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a speed horse and he\u2019s done plenty of work at home. He\u2019s fit and well, he\u2019s still learning his trade a little as he&#8217;s only had the two runs, but he\u2019s fairly fit and I can&#8217;t wait to see him run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BONNIE\u2019S BOY \u2013 4.10 Haydock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll have needed his first run back at Southwell and this looks quite an open race. He\u2019s been working well, we\u2019re pleased with him, Southwell put him right and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing him run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNCLE DON \u2013 1.30 Goodwood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The draw is vital over this trip at Goodwood and I\u2019m delighted with stall three. I\u2019ve always felt he\u2019s a seven-furlong horse so I\u2019m hoping the trip brings out more in him. Whether there\u2019s better handicapped horses against him I don\u2019t know, but he ran okay at Newmarket. <\/p>\n<p>First run of the year, they went quite quick and he was a bit on his head, then they didn\u2019t drop away, but that run would\u2019ve put him spot on so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MY HARRISON GEORGE \u2013 3.20 Beverley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a hard horse to win with but I thought he ran well the other day when second at Thirsk. He\u2019s off top weight here and the track and trip should suit so I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what he does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIFE ON THE ROCKS \u2013 4.25 Beverley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He took an age to win but I thought he did well to win at Leicester the other day. He\u2019s come out of that well and we\u2019re happy with him. A small field will suit him, he\u2019s in good form and hopefully the win will give him a bit of confidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROYAL ASCOT 2YOs <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re just a little bit behind with the two-year-olds, I haven\u2019t had the chance to get them on the grass because we\u2019ve had no rain. We\u2019ve some lovely colts to run in the next two weeks but this Beverley meeting, where I\u2019ve often run a Royal Ascot two-year-old, has just come a tad early for them this year. <\/p>\n<p>I took some to gallop at Southwell on Wednesday, I had to take them somewhere as I hate over-galloping them at home. I was happy with that so keep an eye on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/racing\/profiles\/trainer\/195\/future-entries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our two-year-old entries<\/a> in the next fortnight as we\u2019ve some nice colts to run very soon.<\/p>\n<p>More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
