Doncaster: Darnation Takes Aim At The May Hill

Fresh from celebrating a Group 1 success with one of his 2-year-old fillies on Sunday, Karl Burke is looking to continue that run in Doncaster's G2 May Hill S. on Thursday with the standard-setting Darnation (Ire) by the Moyglare heroine Fallen Angel's sire Too Darn Hot (GB). Following up a 10-length novice win at Thirsk in July with success in the G3 Prestige S. at Goodwood last month, Newtown Anner Stud Farm's homebred is up to a mile but her trainer has no concerns on that score.

“The trip, the track, the ground and everything will suit,” he said. “She's not a flashy work horse at home, but she seems very well and any rain I would imagine will be to her advantage–it certainly won't be a disadvantage to her. She was very tough down at Goodwood and she put up a very good performance to break her maiden at Thirsk. That form was franked to a degree, with the second horse that she beat 10 lengths coming out and winning next time. I can't hand on heart say she's in the league of Fallen Angel, but she's obviously a talented filly and she goes there as the top-rated horse in the race, so it's very exciting.”

Too Darn Hot is also represented by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum's Southwell and Beverley winner Zenjabeela (GB), while other unexposed types yet to try black-type company are St Albans Bloodstock's 7 1/2-length Salisbury maiden scorer Romanova (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) from the Ollie Sangster stable and the Newmarket novice winners Meribella (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and See The Fire (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) from the Ralph Beckett and Andrew Balding stables respectively.

The card also sees the G2 Park Hill Fillies' S., or “Fillies' St Leger”, with Ben and Sir Martyn Arbib's runaway G2 Lillie Langtry S. winner Sumo Sam (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) looking to defy a penalty and prove she is no one-trick pony on this less-demanding surface.

Frankel’s Inspiral Powers To May Hill Triumph

Cheveley Park Stud's undefeated 2-year-old filly Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) lit up Sandown with an impressive 3 1/2-length tally in going seven furlongs in July's Listed Star S. and took her record to a perfect three-for-three with another taking display upped to one mile for Thursday's G2 Cazoo Park Hill S. at Doncaster. The homebred bay had previously overcome a slow start to open her account with a 1 1/2-length score in a June 26 seven-furlong maiden at Newmarket and remains on course to return there for the Oct. 8 G1 Fillies' Mile, a double last achieved by Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in 2017. Inspiral went postward as the heavily-favoured 2-9 pick and bowled along under cover in fifth through halfway of a contest won in the past by breed-bending distaffers Height of Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}) and Rafha (GB) (Kris {GB}). Angled into the clear soon after passing the three-furlong marker, she powered to the front approaching the eighth pole and lengthened clear in the closing stages to easily account for the pacesetting Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) by 3 3/4 lengths. Rolling The Dice (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) finished 1 3/4 lengths adrift in third while the forecast rain didn't arrive in time for Kirsten Rausing's homebred Haydock maiden winner Kawida (GB) (Sir Percy {GB}), who was scratched.

Sun Chariot for Powerful Breeze

Group 2 winner Powerful Breeze (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), second in the G1 bet365 Fillies’ Mile S. to sign off her juvenile year last October, is a potential starter in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 3. The Hugo Palmer trainee, who races in the colours of Dr. Ali Ridha, sustained several broken ribs earlier this year that has kept her out of action. A debut winner at Newmarket prior to her G2 May Hill S. victory, Powerful Breeze appears to have healed nicely and is in good order for her first start back.

“Powerful Breeze is doing great,” said Palmer. “She’s been back cantering for a while now. She hasn’t galloped yet, but she didn’t take a lot of galloping to get to her peak last year. We think she’s a bigger and stronger filly this year and the most important thing is there is no indication she is any discomfort whatsoever–long may that remain the case.

“I’m hopeful we’ll see her in the Sun Chariot. There is no obvious opportunity to run her before Newmarket, but she did win first and second time up last season and is not a big filly who takes a lot of getting fit. It’s obviously been a concertinaed campaign, so if there is ever a good year to miss most of the season, this was it.”
