Evie warms up for Newbury



by Tony Elves



RED EVIE will be looking to Newbury to provide her with a fill up to her already illustrious career when she takes her chance in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes on August 18 and the Michael Bell-trained filly continued her preparation on the watered gallop on Racecourse Side on Wednesday morning.

Her head defeat of Ramonti in the Lockinge Stakes is looking good now and, although she displayed her familiar workmanlike tendencies under Georgina Bell, connections will be hoping she can attain that level of form once more.

Northumberland Plate winner Juniper Girl was given a solo spin up the same stretch as the Fitzroy House handler contemplates either the Prix Kergorlay at Deauville on August 19 or the Group 2 Lonsdale Stakes at York two later.

Regime was shaded on his recent visit to France but the Group 2 PrixGuillame d'Ornano could well be his next appointment after a promising performance in company with Metaphoric.

Dave Simcock has his team in good shape and Hazard County looked in good shaped ahead of a 7f handicap at Sandown when moving well in company with Postage Stamp.

Henry Cecil was on Al Bahathri Polytrack with his workers where Passage Of Time (Ted Durcan) posted her intentions with a solid piece of work in company with Totesport Ebor entries Tranquil Tiger and Templestern.

She has the option of the Juddmonte International or Yorkshire Oaks with the first-named preferred at present.

Rattan (Jimmy Quinn) is coming along nicely and showed plenty of encouragement for the future in company with Kandahar Run and Tomintoul Flyer but there was precious little between a likeable trio.

Multidimensional looks to be on target for his return next month and stretched out well in a solo spin and, after a changeover, both Unnefer and Timetable, and Winter Bloom and Burn The Breeze worked well within themselves.

John Gosden has plenty of options in mind for Lucarno who worked to the trainer's satisfaction on the Al Bahathri Polytrack.

One to note
Passage Of Time (H Cecil) - Coming along nicely as York approaches.
