On the radar – hot horses to follow from last week’s UK racing

Jubiloso – 1st Newbury,17 May. Trainer: Sir Michael Stoute

You could not fail to be impressed by the performance of Sir Michael Stoute’s Jubiloso (by Shamardal) out of a half-sister to the mighty Frankel. On only her second start she travelled sweetly and when asked to quicken pulled well clear by 7 lengths under hands and heels riding. Connections immediately confirmed she will be raised in class for her next outing and is even entered in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. It remains to be seen if she can compete at the highest level but she is definitely a pattern horse in the making.

Buckland Boy - 9th Newbury, 17 May. Trainer: Charlie Fellowes

Not exactly hot, Buckland Boy (by Bated Breath) was only 9th in a 2400 metre handicap but the finishing position does not tell the whole story as he completely fell out of the stalls and lost many lengths at the start. Only beaten six and a half lengths at the end he would undoubtedly been much closer if he not had missed the break. Interestingly he was also a slow starter the previous time, but not to the same degree and managed to win that day. He still looks well handicapped to win again if the trainer is able to sort out his tardiness in the stalls.   

Collide -  4th York, 15 May. Trainer: Hugo Palmer

Collide (by Frankel) travelled smoothly for the majority of this competitive 18 runner handicap until his effort petered out in the last furlong. This looked a decent race and the four year old is worth another chance over the same 2400 metre distance or even back down in trip to 2000 metres.

I Am Magical – 1st Newmarket,16 May. Trainer: Charlie Fellowes 

I Am Magical (by Declaration of War) met trouble in running in this 1600 metre handicap, but still came through to win with a bit in hand and could be ahead of the handicapper. She is entered to make a quick reappearance at Nottingham on Tuesday although this looks to be a better quality race.

Sinjaari - 2nd Newbury, 18 May. Trainer: William Haggas

The London Gold Cup Handicap at Newbury for three year olds run over 2000 metres is always a good race and over the years has consistently produced horses that have gone on to run in much better races as the year progresses – so the form of the race and the horses beaten are worth following. The roll call of previous winners include Al Kazeem who went on to multiple Group 1 glory and the Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso was actually second in the race. This year's winner Headman ( by Kingman) looks potentially very smart, but the runner up Sinjaari (by Camelot) lost nothing in defeat and was only beaten a short head in a tight finish doing all his best work at the end of the race.
