Re: Re: UK Friday

Ryan Moore's thoughts on his rides today:-
1st Race
Illaunaglass
I was on board for this filly's debut win and her good subsequent third in the Albany at the Royal meeting. But her form tailed off after that in her next two starts, and I don't know why. In fact, I can't tell you too much about her to be honest, other than she was pulled out of her intended engagement at Royal Ascot on the day. If she comes back to the Albany form, she has a chance, but she looks pretty harshly handicapped to me off 99 on what she has shown so far, and has her stamina to prove too, after disappointing in the Sweet Solera over course and distance. If you ask me, it is asking a lot for her to win this off top weight after a lengthy lay off, but I hope I am wrong.
2nd Race
Chunky Diamond
Although he hasn't run that badly in his two starts this season, the fact that he hasn't beaten a horse home tells its own story. And he doesn't appear to be that well handicapped on his best juvenile form, a second in a Doncaster listed race, either. I'd say I am up against it here. May not like the soft ground, too.
3rd Race
City Image
Followed up her soft ground Windsor win over 5f with an impressive defeat of Sandreamer, who re-opposes here, over this trip in a listed race on fast ground on the Rowley course last time. There wouldn't appear to be much between her and Richard's other runner, Maureen, who also impressed me first time out at Newbury. But, again, this looks a hot juvenile race, with Albany runner-up Agent Allison, and Sendmylovetorose, probably setting the form standard, the latter on her Group 3 win at the Curragh.
4th Race
Maybe
This is probably the hottest Falmouth Stakes I can remember, and Golden Lilac will prove very hard to beat. She is a horse I have always rated and her Prix d'Ispahan win didn't surprise me at all. And, apart from her, we have the first three home in the Windsor Forest, as well as the Boussac winner Elusive Kate, Alanza and Giofra. In a normal Falmouth, I would be fancying my chances on Maybe, who I rode to win the Chesham last season. The ground was probably against her in the Guineas and the trip was probably too far for her in the Oaks. But the older fillies look a strong bunch this year, don't they?
5th Race
Evangelist
He is by Oasis Dream out of a mare who I rode to win over 7f at two, and who went on to win a Park Hill. He goes OK at home but I would have said he will need the experience here in this big field.
6th Race
Leo Luna
Is very well-related from the family of Workforce and a half-brother to the likes of Sea Moon. Has taken a while to get the hang of what is required of him at home but he is slowly beginning to do the right things. I have seen stronger maidens at this meeting but my mount will need the experience of a race.
7th Race
Jack's Revenge
Hughesy gave him a great ride to get him home by a neck at Windsor last time, and in the circumstances a 3lb rise looks fair. Has disappointed on the soft in the past but there was cut in the ground at Windsor, so hopefully the going won't be an issue. The opposition may be though, as there are some likely, unexposed ones in here.
