Pre-race Summary
 
The 2002 & 2004 results are at the bottom of the page for comparison
APRIL 14th SUMMING UP
  • Trainer Chapple-Hyam's two debut runners so far in 2005 have shown the same pattern as in 2005. They have been competent but not wound-up and probably not useful types. This runner is of better quality on profile than those two and should be able to compete to a higher level than they have.
  • M Channon is in better 2yo form and debuts have settled down to be more competent. He tends to introduce an above average type at this meeting and Zato's sales review suggest he could be similar if he has developed well.
  • B Hills has had two previous runners in 2005 that have run with some promise while never being competitive. His runner here has a similar profile.
  • R Hannon  has two cheap buys in the race and only his useful+ 2yos have won on debut at Newbury in the period 2002-4 (none from 18 won in 2004 with a 66/1 second from later Listed winner Screwdriver the best performance).
  • RACE QUALITY: 
  • The race was run as a conditions race until it became a maiden in 2004 and attracted a bigger field. The maiden race in 2004 was of good quality with a Group winner in first, a Listed placed runner in second and a highly regarded colt in 3rd (who only ran once more). The race had average maiden winners close behind.
  • When run as a conditions race in 2002 the race attracted runners from a similar group of trainers as this year but the field were average maiden winners at best (leaving aside the underlying explanation of how M Channon managed to get a Group 1 placing with Polar Force. An interesting story in itself given that Polar Force struggles to win off 60s ratings nowadays).
  • TRAINERS: 
  • M Channon has had a runner in the equivalent race in 2002-4 (run as a conditions race in 2002-3) and has provided the winner with a debut runner in 2002 and 2004. Last season's debut winner was with a superior runner for an important owner (Sheikh Mohammed).
  • R Hannon  has had a runner in the equivalent race in 2002-4. In 2004 he ran an unplaced runner for The Queen who developed with racing to win over 6f in later season. He had run previous winners in the race in 2002-3 when it was a conditions race.
  • B Hills ran a precocious filly in the race in 2002 that finished second. She lacked scope to develop and was a 70s rated maiden winner at best.
  • SIRES:
  • No first season sire has a runner.
  • SALES REVIEWS:
  • Zato was reviewed at the sales and rated 69 with an above average chance of being a competitive 2yo. He was above average size and with a good build. However he was notably lengthy and needed to improve his athleticism. He had scope to develop but looked a just 70+ maiden winner at the sales. 
  • Don't Tell Sue was reviewed at the sales and rated 64 with an above average chance of being a competitive sprint 2yo. He was an acceptable size and heavily built. He was notably short with a longer neck. He was a good mover overall. He looked capable of being an average maiden winner helped by his maturity but not with strong scope to develop further unless he grew.
  • Ocean Pride was reviewed at the sales and rated 63 but with a below average chance of being a competitive 2yo at his level. He was an ok size and with solid build but lengthy, shallow and not well developed.
