Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 16, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 16, 2019 Last seen finishing sixth in the G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy at Doncaster in October, Qatar Racing’s Kick On (GB) (Charm Spirit {Ire}) returned in rude health to deny Walkinthesand (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) in a tussle for the Listed bet365 Feilden S. at Newmarket on Tuesday. Sent straight to the stand’s rail and the lead by Oisin Murphy, the bay was dragged into a battle from some way out by the Hannon runner but refused to buckle and held on by a neck as they pulled 4 1/2 lengths clear of Boerhan (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). Qatar’s David Redvers said, “We didn’t know what to expect and he was a little bit buzzy beforehand, but the hood worked and John [Gosden] was very happy with him. He’s a lovely straightforward horse with lots of natural energy and my hunch is he’ll drop back in trip now.” KICK ON (GB), c, 3, Charm Spirit (Ire)–Marika (GB) (SW-Eng), by Marju (Ire). (80,000gns Wlg ’16 TATFOA; 135,000gns Ylg ’17 TATOCT). O-Qatar Racing Ltd; B-Shutford Stud (GB); T-John Gosden; J-Oisin Murphy. £22,684.
