Gallops Report: Sir Michael Stoute


Our gallops reporter has the latest from Sir Michael Stoute yard with news on Swiftsure ahead of an outing on Sunday.

SWIFTSURE is among a number of horses for whom Sir Michael Stoute hopes a gelding operation will be beneficial.

The Dubawi three-year-old is set to run for the first time in his new mode at Pontefract on Sunday.

He has put in some pleasing work since coming back into full training and Stoute looks to have found a suitable race for him.

ABINGDON is a filly that has also caught the eye ahead of her belated return to the fray.

That will happen in the Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes on the same card.

She's been off for almost 300 days but her work on Long Hill and the Al Bahathri Polytrack suggests she's ready to put her best foot forward.

NATHAN MAYER didn't show his best on sand last time and is set for a quick return to turf at Windsor.

He seems in good order and will have Ryan Moore in the irons on Monday evening.

ULYSSES didn't quite manage to cope with Highland Reel at Ascot on Wednesday but has taken those exertions in his stride.

Connections now have the option of keeping him to a mile and a quarter or stepping up to a mile and a half for a shot at the King George.

SMART CALL is also in good order following her fourth placing in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes.

The champion racemare from South Africa found the mile an inadequate test, and will step up to a mile and a quarter.
