Armed with three runners in Sunday’s Premier Bowl (1,200m), Francis Lui Kin-wai hopes the brilliance of Zac Purton will help Packing Hermod and barrier one will boost Divano as they bid for Group Two glory. Purton hops back aboard Packing Hermod after his first-up fourth to My Wish in the Group Three Celebration Cup (1,400m) and will be out to add to his impeccable record on the consistent galloper. The champion jockey has booted home Packing Hermod in four of his six career wins, with his only...View the full article -

Saturday, Doncaster, post time: 14:05, THE WILLIAM HILL FUTURITY TROPHY-G1, £200,000, 2yo, c/f, 8fT Field: Action (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Benvenuto Cellini (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Hawk Mountain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Oxagon (Fr) (Frankel {GB}), Rochfortbridge (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). TDN Analysis: A small field, but some quandaries with the line-up not yet confirmed. Heavy ground could see one of the big two Ballydoyle hopes taken out and it is not a given that the Champions Juvenile winner Benvenuto Cellini and the Beresford winner Hawk Mountain will take each other on, as Wayne Lordan has been declared on Lambourn's half-brother Action. Dewhurst fifth Oxagon is not guaranteed to start if it is deep and, with so many ways this could go before the off, the weather really is key. If it rides anywhere near good, it should be Benvenuto Cellini. It is early days, but he's giving off that St Nicholas Abbey vibe at present. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newbury, post time: 15:45, THE BETVICTOR ST SIMON STAKES-G3, £75,000, 3yo/up, 12fT Field: Al Aasy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Ancient Wisdom (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), Hamish (GB) (Motivator {GB}), Military Academy (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), Mount Atlas (GB) (Masar {Ire}), Sea Scout (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Starzintheireyes (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Miss Wong (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Revoir (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}). TDN Analysis: The Haggas stable's grizzled old-timers Hamish and Al Aasy are taken on by some young upstarts, with last year's Zetland winner Starzintheireyes one of the most intriguing having made his three-year-old bow only last month. Given how well Miss Wong's relatives like this type of ground, she is a live longshot with David Simcock happy to take the plunge from handicaps. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newbury, post time: 15:10, THE BETVICTOR HORRIS HILL STAKES-G3, £55,000, 2yo, 7fT Field: Arabian Desert (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Boiling Over (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), May Angel (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Pandemonium (Ire) (No Nay Never), Stellar Sunrise (GB) (Space Blues {Ire}), Time To Turn (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Wechaad (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). TDN Analysis: Simon and Ed Crisford won this two years ago with Knight and put forward a similar type in Pandemonium, who recorded taking wins at Yarmouth and Redcar. Godolphin's Pat Eddery Stakes winner Time To Turn bids to bounce back from a disappointing effort in the Jean-Luc Lagardere, while the York nursery scorer Stellar Sunrise is a key player from the Andrew Balding stable which has vital yardsticks to measure him against. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Doncaster, post time: 14:40, THE WILLIAM HILL PROSPECT STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE DONCASTER STAKES)-Listed, £50,000, 2yo, 6f 2yT Field: Boston Dan (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Quarter (Ire) (Earthlight {Ire}), Spanish Waltz (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Arduis Invicta (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Figjam (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Lam Yai (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Trust Amy (Ire) (Starman {GB}). TDN Analysis: The Firth Of Clyde runner-up Lam Yai sets the form standard and has done little wrong so far, but there is always the chance that something like Valmont's Pontefract maiden winner Spanish Waltz has something powerful under the bonnet. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newbury, post time: 14:00, THE D&H RACING STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE RADLEY STAKES)-Listed, £35,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: Assaranca (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Caim (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Leading Dancer (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Ourbren (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Passing Thought (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Senorita Vega (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Slay Queen (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Something Coming (GB) (Kodi Bear {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Karl Burke knows where Teme Valley's promising Leading Dancer sits among his team of classy two-year-olds and there was much to like about the way she went through her work in a Newcastle novice last month. Caim also looked a smart prospect when winning on her sole start at Beverley last month, but Senorita Vega was third in Newmarket's Oh So Sharp Stakes and may only need to repeat that effort. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 13:30, CRITERIUM INTERNATIONAL-G1, €250,000, 2yo, c/f, 8fT Field: Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Campacite (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), New Zealand (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Hardy Warrior (Ire) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Puerto Rico (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Cape Orator (Ire) (Mohaather {GB}), Port Of Spain (Ire) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Puerto Rico needs to prove he stays a mile here, having made a leap forward going up from six furlongs to seven when dominating the Champagne and Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere from the front. Bred to appreciate it, he is joined by New Zealand, Piazza San Marco and Port Of Spain who all have claims on their own terms and who could all make a jump up on testing ground at this trip. Third behind Puerto Rico at Doncaster, Cape Orator is back in the country in which he captured the valuable Arqana Series races Criterium d'Ete and Criterium d'Automne and his experience will count for a lot renewing rivalry with Ballydoyle's first-string. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 14:34, CRITERIUM DE SAINT-CLOUD-G1, €250,000, 2yo, c/f, 10fT Field: A Taste Of Glory (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Christmas Day (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Pierre Bonnard (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), A Boy Named Susie (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Shosholoza (Ire) (Australia {GB}), Czajkowski (Fr) (Flintshire {GB}), Waybreaker (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Endorsement (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Isaac Newton (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Proof (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), Zambezi (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Impressive in the Zetland, Pierre Bonnard has to deal with contrasting ground which leaves a small question mark over him. The Eyrefield winner Christmas Day has no problems with it and is a colt moving forward at the right time, while the Zetland runner-up Endorsement could make it closer with stamina more essential. Outside of the Ballydoyle colts, Joseph O'Brien has a live contender in the wide-margin Tipperary maiden winner Shosholoza who has been supplemented. The French colts look to have it to do, with the Prix de Conde winner Waybreaker probably a level below the Irish. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX ROYAL-OAK-G1, €350,000, 3yo/up, 15 1/2fT Field: Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Queenstown (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Sevenna's Knight (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Arrow Eagle (Fr) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Caballo De Mar (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Double Major (Ire) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), Espoir Avenir (Fr) (Montmartre {Fr}). TDN Analysis: It is hard to see past a third consecutive success for Double Major, who probably faced a stiffer test 12 months ago and who has been trained to peak for this moment. There is no obvious reason why last year's runner-up Sevenna's Knight can reverse the form, while the Cadran hero Caballo De Mar will need to step up on that form. Arrow Eagle is interesting up from a mile and a half for the first time and his Arc sixth makes him a dangerous proposition if he stays. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Kyoto, Japan, post time: 15:40, KIKUKA SHO (JAPANESE ST. LEGER)-G1, ¥419,370,000, 3yo, 3000mT Field: Coachella Valley (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Amakihi (Jpn) (Black Tide {Jpn}), Right Track (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Yamanin Bouclier (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Giovanni (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Mirage Knight (Jpn) (Bago {Fr}), Shohei (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), Rex Novus (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Energico (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), G T Adamant (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), My Universe (Jpn) (Rey de Oro {Jpn}), Goltzschtal (Jpn) (Bricks and Mortar), Arrondi (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}), Excite Bio (Jpn) (Rey de Oro {Jpn}), Eri King (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Ra Shalom (Jpn) (Tosen Ra {Jpn}), Layered Red (Jpn) (Fierement {Jpn}), Red Bande (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}). Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 12:26, PRIX BELLE DE NUIT-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, f/m, 14fT Field: Agile (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), Bas Bleu (Ire) (Masar {Ire}), La Isla Mujeres (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Allonsy (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Bibbiena (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}), Uluru (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}), Calamandra (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), Kiamba (Ire) (Australia {GB}). TDN Analysis: This is open, with Allonsy marginally ahead on her two Listed wins. Calandagan's half-sister Calamandra was third in the Listed Prix Joubert, but if she's anything like her sibling won't be at her best on this testing ground while La Isla Mujeres is in the mix on her Listed Oyster Stakes win. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 12:58, PRIX PERTH-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 8fT Field: Saidi El Fal (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Vertbois (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Anthorus (Fr) (Territories {Ire}), Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), Chibitty (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Sparks Fly (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), Elim (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), Exxtra (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Darius Cen (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Another tight contest, with the mares Sparks Fly and Exxtra of particular interest. The former is back at the scene of her Listed Prix Isola Bella success in November, while the dual Group 3 winner Exxtra tackles a mile for the first time. Vertbois took the Listed Prix Altipan over this course and distance in March and doesn't have stablemate Tribalist in the way for once. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 14:02, PRIX DE FLORE-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, f/m, 10 1/2fT Field: Skellet (Ire) Kingman (GB), Ashariba (Fr) (Ribchester {Ire}), Grand Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Saxon Girl (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Dare To Dream (Fr) (Camelot {GB}), Higher Leaves (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Ginalyah (Ire) (Chachnak {Fr}), Light The Ghost (Ger) (Waldgeist {GB}), Zia Agnese (Fr) (Romanised {Ire}), Safia (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), Whataboutism (Fr) (Camelot {GB}). TDN Analysis: Third in the Prix Jean Romanet, Grand Stars is very much owed one of these and loved the place when taking last year's Listed Prix Solitude on heavy ground. British raider Ashariba took the Listed Prix Dahlia earlier this month and rates a big threat, while Safia bids to get back on track after an interrupted campaign and justify being a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Hannover, Germany, post time: 14:05, SHADWELL STALLIONS – HERBST STUTENPREIS-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 11fT Field: Anna Riva (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Avola (Ger) (Nutan {Ire}), Namouria (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Weltbeste (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Aglaia (Ger) (Nutan {Ire}), Ruby Lips (Ire) (Highland Reel {Ire}), Santagada (GB) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Silaway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}). TDN Analysis: Four-time Group 3 scorer Santagada displayed grit when annexing this month's G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit and is the one to beat here. Her chief threat is G3 Hamburger Stutenpreis placegetter Ruby Lips, who made a black-type breakthrough at this venue three weeks ago. The dual stakes-placed Namouria has never ventured beyond Listed level, but is best placed of the older generation to make an impact. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Hannover, Germany, post time: 12:30, GESTUT WITTEKINDSHOF – YOUNGSTER FILLIES CUP-Listed, €25,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: Amazing Girl (Ger) (Japan {GB}), Burguesinha (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Cardea (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), Fast Angel (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}), Only Luck (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Pietra Fortunata (GB) (Wooded {Ire}), Salonglaenzende (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Scaletta (Ger) (Victor Ludorum {GB}). TDN Analysis: Gestut Wittekindshof homebred Salonglaenzende accounted for the reopposing Cardea and subsequent G3 Preis der Winkerkonigin heroine Alsterperle over one mile at Dortmund last month and bids to retain her perfect record dropping down in trip for this black-type debut. Scaletta, Fast Angel and the two-for-two Polish raider Only Luck all line up coming back of clear-cut victories in their most recent start. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Hannover, Germany, post time: 13:30, ALSON – YOUNGSTER STEHER CUP-Listed, €25,000, 2yo, 10fT Field: Abachi (Ger) (Japan {GB}), Abdulhamid (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Dardanos (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Kairos (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Nariman (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Sancak (Fr) (Flintshire {GB}), Tailwind (Ger) (Windstoss {Ger}), Ajaxania (Ire) (Zelzal {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Liberty Racing's one-for-one Kairos was 2 1/2 lengths too good for Abachi when the pair met at Cologne last month and is taken to maintain superiority in this stakes debut. Abachi subsequently defeated Tailwind and Abdulhamid over this course and distance three weeks ago and is the likely favourite's main danger. Nariman, one of three from the Bohumil Nedorostek stable, is the only newcomer in the field. [Sean Cronin].

Last year Captured By Love won the NZ 1000 Guineas with a pedigree stacked with sprinting blood. By Written Tycoon out of a Snitzel mare. Impressive winner last week Well Written, the current short priced favourite for this year's 1000 Guineas is also by Written Tycoon. Any doubts about being by a sprinting sire can be ameliorated by the fact that she is out of a Sebring mare. Sebring has left multiple Guineas, Oaks and Derby winners.
