Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
14 Apr Hannon has run 90 of his juveniles at Windsor on debut in 2002-7 for 8 wins and a larger loss to level stakes. 3 of the 8 wins have been in April but with know better types. He has used this race for a variety of abilities and the quality of the pair today - Bonnie Charlie & Rich Red - a good indicator of how much depth he has with his early runners. In 2005 he started the useful pair of Green Park (2nd at 12/1) and Green Pride (6th at 4/1 after a tour of the course). By comparison in 2006 he ran the poor runner Chip Leader as the sole rep.
  • On profile they both look likely winners with Bonnie Charlie the likely better one. He's a relatively expensive purchase by the sire Intikhab who has been a good source of better 5f types and out of a mare who won at 2yo over 5f at average levels. In a field with this experience and strength he's an unlikely winner unless he's very good and that ought to be obvious from the market. Hughes working to get him involved at some point to test him for his next run would be a good sign.
  • 20 Apr Put all of that together and let's look at the result. Bonnie Charlie is quite well backed as 4/1 second favourite and puts in a likeable performance with a comfortable win having attended the pace and then gone away from the others when asked. He rates highly as a debut performance and should go on to compete in Listed races at least. The doubts over his set-up will probably limit him but he clearly has to be taken seriously to mid season.
