Dear All;
Some recent gallops
Friday 26th September 2008
Sir Mark Prescott – Al Bahathri
A quiet morning for the Prescott team but the Cambridgeshire duo Caravel and Master Of Arts worked together in a good pipe opener over 7f. The pair were led by Soft Morning with the trio being held together on the bridle all matching strides. Caravel looks the main hope at this stage and is in good form, although heavy rain to make the Newmarket ground soft would increase the claims of Master Of Arts.

Michael Jarvis – Limekilns
A main workout for Tattersalls Timeform Million candidate Sri Putra on the trial ground this morning. Going 7f with his 3yo lead he moved smartly throughout opening up when asked in the closing stages of the workout. The yard feel he could be a little bit useful and he looks sure to run a big race on Saturday having opted not to take on Wingwalker on Thursday.
Once raced Tiger Eye looks to have improved from her debut and having hung left handed late on at Yarmouth she looked sure to improve a ton for the experience. She looks to have come on for that initial effort and she moved smartly with a useful lead over 6f.
Slightly more backward Lady Of Intrigue gives the impression she could be a shade useful. Working with two unraced companions she was shaken up over the 7f to get on top but appears a filly with plenty of scope.
Kite Wood had a blowout alongsides another juvenile winner and looked in good heart travelling much the better of the duo. He looks a promising type who could well be aimed at the Racing Post Trophy.
Sir Michael Stoute – Limekilns
A very busy morning for the Stoute team, who put many of their decent sorts through their paces.
Perfect Stride continues to look in great form and having bounced at Goodwood last time he took command of his trio in a strong workout. Led by Cambridgeshire hopeful Lang Shining, The Oasis Dream colt faces a hard task against Bankable and Eddie Jock on Friday but looked in good order moving on by a length to his lead with a Ryan Moore ridden Visit just behind at the back of the trio. It was a strong workout over 7f which suggested Perfect Stride in back in the form that saw him win at Ascot.
Papal Bull looked comfortable in his gallop over 7f and nudged along in his usual style he came through towards the end of his gallop to edge on from Kings Event. He won’t mind the rain that is falling in Longchamp and seems in good form.
Kingdom Of Fyfe continues to look a horse on the up and he looked in good form as he moved on by 3/4L in his 7f workout with Warringah (Kieren Fallon) and one other. The trio went a nice gallop but in his usual workmanlike style Kingdom Of Fyfe came through late to edge on from a Fallon ridden Warringah.
In the most serious gallop of the first workers Evasive really caught the eye. Under Ryan Moore he was very impressive in his 6f gallop stretching on from J D Smith ridden lead horse Mirrored. This was a strong piece of work and gave the impression Evasive is a cut above average.
The majority of the remaining workers came up in single file, soloing over 5f – 7f.
Having impressed at Doncaster Main Aim went a good lick burning up over the 5f and he looks in cracking form ahead of his step up to listed company on Thursday. He should go well.
Quotation was another to catch the eye and she moved well over 7f. Given a bit of a shocker last time she remains well handicapped.

Saeed bin Suroor – Limekilns
A good workout up the 7f stretch this morning highlighted a nice sort. Sirocco Breeze looks a decent unraced Green Desert 3yo and he impressed in the highest order this morning. Led by New Guinea, both Sirocco Breeze and Filios moved nicely alongsides before quickening up in good style. Sirocco Breeze looked a very smart colt as he then went on by 3/4L and gives the impression he will be very hard to beat when debuting at Leicester on Tuesday.
Henry Cecil – Limekilns
Jack Dawkins bypasses the Cambridgeshire in favour of a handicap at Pontefract on Monday where Tom Queally will ride. Working over 7f this morning he moved nicely under Eddie Ahern striding on by around a length from consistent lead horse Timetable. He moved really well under Ahern and should appreciate the stiff mile at Pontefract.
Phoenix Tower continues his preparation for the Champion Stakes in good order and looked in ride health held together by regular work rider Tony Proctor. Joined upsides by Tom Queally partnered Twice Over the pair strided out nicely in front of their lead horse Rattan over 7f. Phoenix Tower has not stopped improving this season and remains in good form whilst Twice Over has done little wrong in his work either.
Sir Mark Prescott – Al Bahathri
Sir Mark used the all weather Al Bahathri surface to put his horses through their paces and Cambridgeshire duo Caravel and Master Of Arts had a good blowout over 6f. The pair who went a nice clip in a pipe-opener for Saturday moved well with Master Of Arts moving on by 1/2L near the end of the gallop. Neither horse was really asked to do much however and more emphasis will be on Caravel at the weekend who has the ground most likely to suit him at present.
Phoenix Flight (Jean Pierre Guillambert) has been sidelined for most of the season through injury but he looks in good form now. The Hawk Wing gelding was highly regarded at 2 but had a few setbacks along the way. Rated 75 he has been in building work of late but had a serious blow out this morning ahead of Friday’s run at Wolverhampton. Led over 7f by Points Of View with Sourire just in behind he opened up in good style taking just over a length out of Sourire as the pair went a couple of lengths away from their lead horse Points Of View. Showing supremacy over a 81 and 90 rated companions he is clearly well handicapped off of 75 and he has been found a weak 0-75 to run in on Friday. He would be a very confident bet for me as this 9.5f trip should really suit him and he is one of the more promising 3yos in the yard.
Reporters Advice
Best Bet
Wingwalker (Henry Cecil) had his form boosted by Rileyskeepingfaith today and he has been seriously impressive in his home work of late. The yard think he could well be the best chance they have had of winning the Guineas for some time and he is expected to win on Thursday.
Ahead Of The Handicapper
Phoenix Flight (Sir Mark Prescott) moved impressively with 81 and 90 rated companions on Tuesday morning and surely should be able of collecting a 0-75 after an absence on Friday night at Wolverhampton.
One To Note
Exemplary (Saeed Bin Suroor) is showing up well in his early gallops and looks the light at the end of the tunnel for the Godolphin team. He could well be a class act in the making and is one to be excited about.
Dark Horse
Moral Maze (John Gosden) has not been asked too many serious questions at home but appears to be a nice type who could be a nice 3yo in the making.
Good Luck
Chris
