Smooth Debut Win For Lope De Vega Half To Ten Sovereigns

[Wandering Eyes]

Introduced in the same seven-furlong Salisbury novice on Thursday in which her stable's group 1 performer Remarquee (GB) (Kingman {GB}) began her story, Doreen Tabor's Chantilly Lace (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}–Seeking Solace {GB}), by Exceed And Excel {Aus}) was able to replicate the outcome and light her own way as she added to Ralph Beckett's juvenile riches. Sent off the 6-4 favourite under Rossa Ryan, the half-sister to No Nay Never's G1 July Cup and G1 Middle Park Stakes-winning sire Ten Sovereigns (Ire) travelled smoothly in second until finding herself in front with over two furlongs remaining.

Coaxed clear from there, the 375,000gns Tatts October Book 1 graduate had a comfortable 1 1/2-length margin to spare over Char (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) at the line. “She was very green and didn't really know what to do, which was what I expected as she's a big tall filly who I think will furnish significantly over the winter,” Beckett said, before revealing that the winner would tread the same path as Remarquee. “There is much to look forward to I think and that'll be it for the year. Hopefully, we'll be able to get her ready for the [G3] Fred Darling or something like that, as she's potentially a Guineas filly. I wouldn't think she'll get more than a mile, being a half to Ten Sovereigns.”

 

Chantilly Lace, a 375,000gns daughter of Lope De Vega, is YET ANOTHER debutant winner for @RalphBeckett this season.

One for the notebook for next season
