Had a decent bet on this today @ 33/1 ...just hope he runs now :)

Cost 430,000 gns and won his first 3 races with M.Johnston last season, now at sprint kings :) bought for 16,000 gns.

He's never actually raced at 6f but his handicap 7f form is top class. Has only been campaigned over 7f and 1 mile (has also ran over 1 mile 2f) so you wouldn't think he'd be a AGC horse but a closer look shows that he's been at the front of his races, at the 6f point in a lot of his recent races. A fast run 6f should be perfect for him, it's amazing that in 19 starts he's never tried 6f.


01Aug08 Goo 8GF Cl2 Hc,93K 9-2 10/18 6¾L, Fifteen Love[16/1] 8-12 Adrian T Nicholls 97

If we ignore this run, he was out the back in a rough race, made some headway, over a mile.


11Jul08 Nmk 7Gd Cl2 Hc,62K 8-8 3/18 1¼L, Little White Lie[12/1] 9-0 Ahmed Ajtebi 97
Regal Parade
prominent, led over 2f out, driven 1f out, headed and not quicken final 100yds


This was the Bunbury Cup, one of the best 7f handicaps of the year, he led at the 5 pole until about 6 1/2 f.


20Jun08 Asc 7Fm Cl2 Hc,37K 8-6 1/28 ½L, Dhaular Dhar[25/1] 9-0 Ahmed Ajtebi 92
Regal Parade
raced on stands' side, chased leaders, headway to lead over 1f out, edged right but ran on well

Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot, led at 6f. Won a top race.


09May08 Chs 8Gd Cl2 Hc,13K 8-8 6/11 1¾L, Celtic Sultan[15/2] 9-4 Adrian T Nicholls 90
Regal Parade
towards rear, headway over 3f out, ridden on outside to press leaders 2f out, stayed on same pace towards finish

A mile at Chester...with leaders at 6f.

03May08 Thi 8Gd Cl2 Hc,11K 8-6 2/14 1½L, Extraterrestrial[3/1F] 8-5 P J McDonald 90
Regal Parade
in touch, headway to challenge 2f out, soon headed, no extra when slightly hampered well inside final furlong

A mile at Thirsk...challenging at 6f.

Only won on firmish and the AW, but has ran well on soft and by Pivotal so shouldn't mind soft so ground won't be a problem.

Also he goes well fresh! All wins at 7f. Won his first 2. His other two wins were fresh with breaks of at least 7 weeks each time. Come the race he won't have ran for 7 weeks.

Not entered up apart form the AGC. 7lb higher than RA win and only 2lb higher than Bunbury Cup 3rd is not too bad as I believe the 6f will improve him further.

Trained by none other than David Nicholls, who likes this race a little bit and always runs quite a few (if he remembers) :)

Anyone any opinions on him?
