CLASSICAL SONG can step up to the top level to call the tune in the Group 1 bet365 Fillies’ Mile (4.10) at Newmarket on Friday afternoon.
On the back of a full-of-promise debut at Glorious Goodwood in August, the Ralph Beckett-saddled daughter of Lope De Vega gained an impressive three-length victory in a Sandown maiden the following month - and has barely scratched beneath the surface.
The opening Group 3 Newmarket Academy Godolphin Beacon Project Cornwallis Stakes (1.50) is a good chance for INQUISITIVELY to follow up a successful start for Kevin Philippart De Foy in the Listed Roses Stakes at York in August.
Richard Hannon has double prospects with CHINDIT in the Group 2 Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards Challenge Stakes (3.00), and CIRCE in the Group 3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes (2.25).
(PA) He marked his debut in the sphere with an easy score at Haydock last time and SHADOW DANCE should give another good account in the bet365 Old Rowley Cup Handicap (3.35).
At York, Eve Johnson Houghton’s FRANCESCO BARACCA is taken to make his presence felt in the British EBF £100,000 Final (3.15), while INSANITY is the rational call in the William Hill Finale Handicap (2.40).
Paul Nicholls’ CAPTAIN TEAGUE should be hard to beat in the Grade 2 Unibet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle (2.10) at Chepstow, and the form of the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard points to the chances of GOOD BOY BOBBY in the Unibet Veterans’ Handicap Chase (1.35) earlier on the card.
