On The Gallops in Newmarket

[NoChanceToDance]

By Tony Elves from the racing post:

NANNINA washed awaysome of the cobwebs on her reappearance at Epsom recently and, with the Windsor Forest Stakes at Royal Ascot only a week away, continued her preparation on the Limekilns trial ground on Tuesday morning.

Cheveley Park Stud supremo Chris Richardson wasin attendance with trainer John Gosden on a warm summer morning and last year's Coronation Stakes winner looked sharp under Jimmy Fortune when skipping clear of her companion over about seven and half furlongs.

Costume has a choice of either the Coronation Stakes or Sandringham Stakes and she looked in good fettle when working on her own before Royal Oath showed up in a good light in company with the York-bound Broghill.

Lucarno appears to have taken his race in the Derbyreally well and he looked in great form when bounding clear of Racer Forever before Imperial Star loomed in another solo spin.

The progressive stayer Right To Play had his exercise on the long gallop and showed up in an encouraging manner with his two companions, and the Queen Mary Stakes contender Bastikiya gave the impression she is going the right way when easing ahead of her companion on the trial ground. Fortune's busy morning on the gallops continued when he partnered the Peter Chapple-Hyam-trained Dutch Art in his work and the 2,000 Guineas third looked in good order when pulling clear of his companion. After a changeover, there was more pre-Ascot work for him when he had the leg up on Norfolk Stakes contender Winker Watson, who looked classy when pulling four lengths clear of his companion with his head bowed in determined style.

Tariq was another to show up well in his work and Al Qasi (Adrian McCarthy) and Hamoody showed that the St Gatien handler has his team in just the shape he would want ahead of the biggest meeting of the year.

Saeed Bin Suroor had been out earlier with his workers and Echo Of Light commenced the action when striding out purposefully in a solo spin before Laverock took the points in his spin with The Geezer.

Cherry Mix (Kerrin McEvoy) and Tam Lin (bad boy!) were other two noteworthies to go through their paces on their own.

One To Note
Lucarno (John Gosden)
Derby fourth looks to have thrived since his fine run at Epsom

A big YAY for Nannina, Echo of Light, Cherry Mix, Hamoody, and Dutch Art!

Having a hard time finding entries.....

They're not even on the (music, please) Godolphin site.

Aaah well..... I suppose with Cherry running it doesn't matter (who will lose to him) since he loves Italy.

He sure showed them that he's more than a rabbit.....

TARIQ showed he was back with a vengeance when slamming US Ranger in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot and further evidence of his wellbeing was on display on the Limekilns short gallop on Saturday morning.

The Kyllachy colt had previously returned to winning form at Newmarket but he gave the impression that he has a lot more to offer in the coming months as he deftly pulled clear of his companion.

He next lines up against the starter in the Group 2 Betfair Cup Lennox Stakes at Goodwood on July 31 and that engagement will be eagerly awaited by connections.

Derby winner Authorized was back on parade after his Eclipse Stakes effort and was only asked to join up with old sparring partner River Alhaarth as his connections ponder over the decision of whether to run in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Al Qasi and Striving Storm both went through their paces alone and the promising Amaakin was partnered by Roy Carter in a decent spin with a once-raced colt.

Saeed Bin Suroor had been in action on the trial ground earlier where Purple Emperor limbered up quite nicely in company with Midsummer Fun.
Seabow (Ted Durcan) is shaping quite nicely as he readies for action and moved well with Moon Quest. Durcan was in action for Henry Cecil later in the morning where he took the leg up on the likeable Kandahar Run and the grey son of Rock of Gibraltar showed he is coming along with each gallop as he picked up from the rear to take command in his trio.

Rattan, a chestnut colt by Royal Anthem, looks another that will be making the right noises in due course and he moved readily clear of his workmate.

After a change over Crystany (Durcan) moved well in her spin with Unnefer and Burn The Breeze, a daughter of Beat Hollow, gave positive indicators in her work with .

Jack Dawkins could attempt to build on a promising effort at Newmarket at the end of last month at Yarmouth on Tuesday night and moved well in his work with Timetable.

Sir Michael Stoute was another on the Limekilns where Jeremy (Maxine Cowdrey) looked in good shape after his fine effort when short headed by Ramonti in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot when striding out strongly on his own.

Majestic Marauder looks a decent sort and he moved well in his spin with an older companion.

One To Note
Tariq (Peter Chapple-Hyam). Going well in his work as he starts the countdown to the Lennox Stakes.
