Happy again? Romance out to win consecutive runnings of Group 3 Hackwood Stakes

Happy Romance is out to win the Hackwood Stakes for the third straight year. Minzaal and Man Of Promise are weak qualifiers. Great Ambassador is a progressive horse with a good record. The Tin Man is more in keeping with the modern six-furlong diet. Saint Lawrence steps up from the minimum trip and could improve. He was last in the Platinum Jubilee last year and has a better record than Happy Romance. The RPR of Great ambassador is 1lb higher than the ten-year standard of the winner.

Man Of Promise is back at six furlongs in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes. He finished third in Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup night and was eighth in King's Stand at Royal Ascot.

Diligent Harry ran well at Royal Ascot after a break. Minzaal finished second last year. Happy Romance won the July Cup a week ago. Chil Chils is a big price despite finishing third in a Group 1 last season. Saint Lawrence is well-known at Newbury and may outrun his odds.  Kieran Shoemark is the rider of Royal Commando. Emily Scott is racing manager to Amo Racing. She hopes Go Bears Go can bounce back from his disappointing performance at Asfoc.

Can Lezoo confound the doubters and prove she has trained on at three?

At the end of last year, it was possible to argue that Lezoo had been the dominant juvenile filly in Britain and the form of her Cheveley Park win has worked out well this campaign. She had the 1000 Guineas winner Mawj and runner-up in the Irish equivalent Meditate behind her and the fourth was Swingalong, who won the Summer Stakes at York last…
