Addeybb to Defend Champion S. Crown

Last year's G1 Champion S. winner Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) will return to Ascot to defend his crown in October, trainer William Haggas has announced. A winner of the G1 Ranvet S. and G1 Queen Elizabeth S. in Australia last year, the chestnut was second in the G1 Prince Of Wales's S. back in the UK last June, two starts prior to his Champion S. victory. Sent back to Australia in March, he was second in the Ranvet to Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) and then turned the tables on that rival in winning his second Queen Elizabeth on Apr. 17. He was second to St Mark's Basilica (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on July 3.

The Newmarket trainer said, “It was great to win the Champion S. last year, fantastic. Addeybb was really on his game that day, too. If we can get him like that again that would be great.

“Right now he is in a field, but he will have a run before the Champion S. He was a little bit rusty in the Eclipse and the ground wasn't really slow enough for him, but I thought he ran well and he kept going up the hill as usual.”

Solario Next For New Science

Godolphin's New Science (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) is bound for the Aug. 21 G3 Solario S. at Sandown after pleasing trainer Charlie Appleby since winning the Listed Pat Eddery S. over seven furlongs at Ascot on July 24. A first out winner at Yarmouth on May 28, the bay colt tired to seventh in the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot on June 19.

Appleby, who won the 2017 Solario with subsequent Derby hero Masar (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), said, “The Solario is very much the target for New Science and I was pleased with the way he came out of Ascot.

“You can put a line through his run in the Chesham and he has since come back out and backed it up with a good win in the Pat Eddery S. It was a great form boost [for the Pat Eddery] with the second horse Angel Bleu (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) coming out and winning the G2 Vintage S. at Goodwood last week.”
