Friday's Gallops Report: Richard Hannon


We get the latest on Richard Hannon's Weatherbys Super Sprint runners from his Lambourn base.

Richard Hannon breezed his contenders for the Weatherbys Super Sprint, a race his family have found a happy hunting ground over the years.

Hannon is hoping first-time blinkers will assist LEXINGTON GRACE, who stretched out on the main all weather strip having engaged in more serious work earlier in the week.

Ryan Moore will team up with ZALSHAH who has knocked on the door and looks the main fancy out of a team of three. He also flowed along in a swinging canter this morning.

GLACEON is the least exposed of the trio, and open to improvement.

Hackwood Stakes duo EQTIRAAN and TUPI also enjoyed a blow out ahead of that Group Three.

Tupi has kept good company through the year whilst Eqtiraan needs to step up after opening his account and has been given five weeks to get over that.

WEFAIT is proving one of the most consistent horses in the yard and shone in some readying work for the mile-and-a-half handicap earlier in the week.

BARNEY ROY continues to impress ahead of his next Group One objective with the Juddmonte International possibly just favoured over the Qatar Sussex Stakes.

Hannon has always insisted that his St James's Palace Stakes winner would benefit from a step up in trip and that looked the case in the Eclipse, despite his narrow defeat.

The trainer reasoned that both Goodwood and York would be too much for Barney Roy, as proved the case with Toronado.
