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
