| DATE | PROFILE/COMMENTS |
| 09 Apr | Richard Hannon ran the placer Higgy's Boy on debut in the
race last year and he took until 3yo to win and was a sort of OR70 rater
who lack a finish. He here has the filly April Pride who cost £25,000
at the Kempton Park breeze-up sale (i.e. for 2yos with gallops beforehand)
in early March. that isn't a high price but it isn't throwaway either.
If you got an OR60s winner you'd think you'd done a bit above average.
She's by the sire Falbrav who has his first fuller crop of Northern Hemisphere
2yos this year after two in Japan. He wouldn't be on the list to produce
5f 2yos and the dam isn't an obvious just-add-water 2yo producer either
(she's better at producing expensive moderate ones to top sires on recent
evidence).

| 12 Apr | April Pride looked just a usable winner on profile
and not the better type that the trainer usually has debut winners with.
Her pedigree didn't say 5f and lots of 'good judges' passed her by for
a piffling £25,000 five weeks ago at the 2yo breeze-up sales. The
word in the morning was that the Hannon's likes her and thought she would
be a winner but she drifted int he market as FTO winner Doughnut had done
last week. The Paddock Report that came back had her second top rated and
noted she was a typical Hannon 'shape & size' buy. If he likes the
set-up of a horse he can live with any pedigree because he isn't tied to
running a 'Falbrav' over 7f+ or whatever.
|
| 04 May | Richard Hannon wins the race regularly and normally runs close
to his best early filly and one that will go on to run in the Queen Mary
at Royal Ascot. He usually brings the class to the race to trump the more
typical early winning runarounds for whom this is their best level. His
last four winners have all been declared for the Queen Mary although Vermilliann
was withdrawn on the day. Gilded won a weak version of the Ascot race while
Cake was 5th and Presto Vento 6th in big fields.
