Alan King on weather watch for Trueshan’s Long Distance Cup defence

Alan King is worried about the weather forecast for Trueshan's Long Distance Cup defence. Trueshan won the prize last year. King wants to run him at Ascot but needs rain. The weather is expected to be dry early this week before showers from Thursday. King has been frustrated by a dry summer for his stable star.

The National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133. The recommended bets are advised to over-18s.

Nicky Henderson caution to benefit Shishkin in tussle with Bravemansgame?

It's that time of year. Mariah Carey jingles her way through All I Want For Christmas Is You in Asda. Leona Lewis is telling us it's One More Sleep in WH Smith (it's 31). The insipid department store festive ads have been on the tele since early-November. Hold your horses, Noddy. We're not there yet. But the good thing about the first flashes of…

Fry breaking new ground with French fancy Metier

A Grade One winner over hurdles, the seven-year-old has proven equally proficient when crossing over to compete on the level in recent seasons, winning last year's November Handicap at Doncaster and pouncing late to claim the Chester Cup this term.

Big-race preview & tip: QIPCO Champion Stakes

MOSTAHDAF didn't look a likely runner when around 7/1 in midweek but confirmation of Ascot's track switch to the inner hurdles course for the Champion Stakes, Fillies & Mares and Long Distance Cup changes things considerably. He'll presumably only line up if the ground is deemed suitable on raceday itself but there's no doubt Mostahdaf should be…

Ascot Saturday: Ground coming right for Vadream

Ascot Saturday: Ground coming right for Vadream

Fellowes' five-year-old, who is owned by Coventry City supremo Doug King, has twice run with credit at the end-of-season showpiece, finishing a respectable fifth in 2021 and then a place further back when sixth behind Kinross 12 months ago. However, both of those appearances on British Champions Day came on good to soft ground and she is yet to…

Betfred Doncaster Cup: Trueshan ready to return

The seven-year-old was under a cloud in the spring after odds-on defeats at Nottingham and Ascot, and a try at hurdling was pondered in the hope it would reignite a flame that had previously burned so bright in Britain's number one stayer, who also has a Qatar Goodwood Cup, a Prix Du Cadran and a Northumberland Plate among his 13 wins. However, a…

Bradsell ready for Nunthorpe test at York's Sky Bet Ebor Festival

Archie Watson made the bold call to supplement his talented three-year-old at the six-day stage for the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, a decision that was vindicated when he beat last year's Nunthorpe heroine Highfield Princess, by a length. Having won his maiden on the Knavesmire, that run in Berkshire was Bradsell's maiden Group 1…

Simca Mille may miss King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes

The Stephane Wattel-trained four-year-old has won twice at Group Two level - at ParisLongchamp and Chantilly - this term, latterly producing an eye-catching turn of foot to land the Grand Prix de Chantilly by an easy three and a half lengths under Alexis Pouchin. It promises to be a high-class renewal of the King George, which features this year's…

Unbeaten Frankel filly Al Asifah set to run in Irish Oaks

The daughter of Frankel, from the family of Awtaad, was a taking winner of her maiden at Haydock last month and looked potentially out of the top drawer when running out a six-and-a-half length winner of the Listed Weatherbys/British EBF Agnes Keyser Fillies Stakes on Sunday. The Curragh Classic was initially mooted as the next intended target and…

Ascot Wednesday preview: What the trainers say

Alan King feels Trueshan has tightened up since his surprise defeat on his seasonal debut and is keen to see how a rematch with his Nottingham conqueror Rajinsky plays out in the Longines Sagaro Stakes. With the usual proviso about soft ground dictating plans for the rest of the season, there is sufficient cut in the ground to enable King to run…

Having won the Goodwood Cup, the Prix du Cadran and claimed a second Long Distance Cup in 2021, Alan King's Trueshan made a successful start to last season in this one-mile-six-furlong Listed contest.
