Infinite Cosmos has opportunity to get first win
Nice prospect can compete in good race
13:15 - Circle Of Fire
He is one of a few of our horses running this week that were all set to be out at Sandown's abandoned meeting last Friday. I was impressed when he won for me at Salisbury last season and the bare form looks pretty decent, with the runner-up winning twice since and now rated 90, while I rode the third to finish a nice second at Kempton last month.
We have been happy with Circle Of Fire at home and he's a nice prospect. It's a good race but I like to think he will be competitive.
Has chance if he can overcome penalty
14:25 - Iconic Moment
He carries a 3lb penalty for his Listed win at Lingfield last month, which makes life tough here, but he ran well enough in defeat over a mile at Chelmsford last time, and he has his chance if able to translate that ability to turf. The step back to 7f could well suit him better, too.
Well-bred filly in good shape
16:45 - Infinite Cosmos
She was only touched off on her debut on soft at Doncaster at the back-end. The winner has come out and finished a good second to a very promising horse of Andre Fabre's this season in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud, a race in which I finished third.
Infinite Cosmos is a well-bred Sea The Stars filly and I'd be hopeful she will make up into a smart middle-distance filly this season, so this maiden looks a good opportunity for her, for all she is up against similarly promising and unexposed types. She's in good shape.
