Richard Fahey column: Newmarket Craven team


Ventura Diamond reappears in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes and Richard Fahey takes us through her chances and his other Newmarket runners.

Richard Fahey Craven Meeting team

13:50 Wednedsay – George Bowen

He ran a good solid race first time out at Doncaster, I was pleased with him there. This is competitive but he’s well handicapped on his best form. If this is going day, and George decides that, then he’s not without a chance. He’s getting plenty of weight.

15:35 Wednesday – Ventura Diamond

The ground is at the back of my mind with her. She’s won on a quick surface but all her best form is on slower ground. She’s in great form at home and working well, albeit she’s a bit backward in her cot.

She’s wintered really well, we’re very pleased with her progress, and this is a fact-finding mission with regards to seven furlongs and whether she stays. We’ll know a lot more about the season ahead for her after this.
