Although not seen since fifth in the Cheveley Park Stakes as a two-year-old, trainer Ed Walker gave serious thought to supplementing the daughter of Kingman for Saturday\u2019s Newmarket feature such is quality of her work at home.<\/p>\n
However, she will instead be in Group Three action a day earlier on the Knavesmire, a place that proved a happy hunting ground when she claimed the Lowther Stakes last summer when getting the better of subsequent Commonwealth Cup scorer Time For Sandals.<\/p>\n
Walker said: \u201cIt\u2019s really exciting to have her back and she\u2019s been working really well, so much so that I toyed with supplementing her for the July Cup what with the fast ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw sense and have gone the sensible route and she seems in great nick.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully she can prove she\u2019s trained on, which is what she\u2019s been showing us at home, she\u2019s certainly grown and is a very exciting filly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Richard Hughes-trained Sayidah Dariyan finished a close up fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and drops back in against her own sex.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very confident going into Ascot, although her price was huge, and she didn\u2019t let us down. She ran a blinder,\u201d said Hughes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flat six furlongs at York will really play into her strengths, I think. She\u2019s quite a fast filly, so we\u2019re hoping for a big run.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s an angel to train. She only lost three kilos at Ascot, so that convinced me I\u2019d be able to back her up at York. She\u2019s easy, just ticking over and she\u2019s fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
David O\u2019Meara\u2019s Nighteyes, fourth in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 100-1, James Tate\u2019s Electric Storm and the William Haggas-trained First Instinct are among a field of 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although not seen since fifth in the Cheveley Park Stakes as a two-year-old, trainer Ed Walker gave serious…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4107],"tags":[1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-253421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-racing","8":"tag-racing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114828859344433865","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
