Dewhurst major autumn target for Too Darn Hot


Too Darn Hot is on course for the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket following last week's scintillating display in the Champagne Stakes,

The son of Dubawi is unbeaten in three starts to date and is 7/4 favourite with Sky Bet for the Dewhurst and 7/2 for next year's QIPCO 2000 Guineas.

Trainer John Gosden said: "He (Too Darn Hot) is a very talented horse and, all being well, he will run in the Dewhurst Stakes, that is the game plan. We will then put him away for next year's Guineas. We may well go straight there or on the other hand he may have a prep race first.

Stablemate Beatboxer is another exiting juvenile who has earned a rise in class.

"The plan for Beatboxer is to run in the Royal Lodge (Newmarket, September 29). He is a big, strong colt. I am happy with him and I think the mile will suit him," the trainer added.

"If he runs a big race and finishes in the first three, he will head to Doncaster for what was the Racing Post Trophy (Vertem Futurity Trophy, October 27)."
