5.55 - Ambassador Cruise Line Handicap
Paddock Notes
9 Our Havana - some rib definition but will tighten up for the run
2 Completely Random - red hood and occasionally toey; big grey gelding, fit enough for frame
10 Dance In The Storm - has presented well the last few outings but she looks exceptional again, race sharp
13 Havanagreattime - very keen in changed headgear, strong in pre-parade, no fitness queries
3 Aalto - looks in fair order, has been presenting well
12 Rare Change - some definition although not the fittest in the pre-parade, okay
4 Indian Springs - solid, muscular colt, walking out well
8 Leadman - has caught the eye more this season, for all he’s showing a fair level of fitness
6 Mr Chaplin - always a likeable sort, has a nice way about him, in good order
5 Elarak - okay fitness, not as razor sharp as some of these
11 Humam - has a bit of quality about him, relaxed and good level of fitness
15 Zoulu Chief - late to paddock and has got a touch warm, does tend to present well
9 Our Havana - no major issues, perhaps a bit plain compared to some of these
1 Pellitory - good definition over quarters but has been sighted with more rib definition this season
Paddock Verdict
10 Dance In The Storm and 6 Mr Chaplin the best pair Dance In The Storm has become keen; normal paddock behaviour for her and not a major concern.

5.20 - Blandford Bloodstock Maiden Fillies' Stakes (div II)
Paddock Notes
6 Something Coming - plenty of filly; tall and athletic. Fit but very green and having a good look at things.
9 Zabeel Flower - keen to get on with things and strong; closely put together filly, fine from a fitness perspective
4 Golden Orbit - not big; raw and babyish still, walking on well but will undoubtedly learn for the experience
5 Ottoman Empress - well muscled and defined over the quarters, different type to her stablemate in previous race, keen to get on with things
2 Caraway - not much size to her but she’s well balanced and correct for her frame. Still a bit babyish but catches eye with fitness
8 Summer In Paris - two handlers and being held, although she’s settled into the paddock. Might come forward a touch
3 Glow - big framed filly, professional attitude and likeable, walks well
7 Souffler - fit and well; wears red hood and is keen, but easily managed by one handler
Paddock Verdict
Very different from her stablemate in the last, but 5 Ottoman Empress is deemed best. Like Caraway as an alternative.

Paddock Notes
8 Mubasimah - stockily built filly, low to the ground, lovely demeanour for a debutante, fit enough
2 Bluebluelectricblu - all leg and athletic, green in places but nothing overly negative at this stage, has something about her
4 Forbidden Colours - green and having a good neigh, but hasn’t got overly tense as a result. Big moving filly, nice stamp, well balanced.
6 Hen Party - compact filly, tense and quite tight through the neck, will learn plenty
1 Act Of Kindness - instantly struck by her attitude, lovely relaxed demeanour, oozes quality, physically more developed than some of these
5 Havana Flower - quite raw and gangly still, but correct in her conformation, a little busy but likeable
9 Shady Dame - plenty of room for developing physically, two handlers, okay fitness wise
10 Topathemorning - lengthy and rangy type, not a great mover behind and she’s a touch tense - has size for filling into though
3 Cherry Baker - might sharpen up for this, has got very tense and tight
7 Mojito - one of the better fillies, shows that she’s had a couple of runs, well balanced
Paddock Verdict
1 Act Of Kindness best

8 Queen Tamara - red hood, busy walker but very lean and fit, professional attitude

9 Secret Echo - keen with two handlers, nice type for the future, still will grow and fill out, fit
Paddock Verdict
8 Queen Tamara best, 3 Rogue Temptation best alternative

Winning trainer Karl Burke said: “He is a very good horse. He is a Group horse and he will win a good Group race. Cliff is so good from the front and there was no point pulling him around from top weight. It was all about getting him in a nice rhythm and he was either good enough or he wasn’t. We were always going to go far side from that draw as well so it has worked out well.
“You have got to have the right horses and Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s homebreds are so good. Liam (O’Rourke) does a fantastic job organising the mares and coverings. It is brilliant and I’m very happy.
"He just hung on. I wasn’t really worried how early he committed, but he was running on fumes the last 100 yards, but as I said Cliff is brilliant from the front and I never worry when I ask him to go forward. You never know about the draw until after the race, but it was no disadvantage. He will go back into Group company. There isn’t anything in mind yet though as this was the plan.”
Paddock Notes
2 Coppull - busy and keen to get on with things in the pre-parade, compact, sprinting sort, no fitness questions
5 Havana Hurricane - reluctant to walk round pre-parade without a lead, doesn’t present as well as he did earlier in the season for all he’s fit
1 Brussels - strapping colt, deep chest and deep through the girth, others catching up to him more physically compared to start of the season
4 Five Ways - liked at Salisbury when winning a novice, has got tight in pre-parade and dripping sweat, second handler added and settled somewhat. Compact, smart physical.
6 Hilitany - typical sprinter, small and all muscle. Not a typical Boughey presentation (usually look very lean) but he’s sturdily built.
7 Kansas - laid back to the point of backwards, was the same at Doncaster, stocky, fine for him
3 First Approach - good mover, walks out well with a nice demeanour, no major negatives
8 The Publican's Son - not a typical six furlong colt profile but he fills the eye. Athletic, leggy frame, not much neck but very fit.
9 Wise Approach - has caught the eye throughout the season and looks well again. Very easy demeanour, solid but not lacking for size.
Paddock Verdict
Difficult call, nothing stands out in the way they did in the fillies race. Something about 8 The Publican's Son, gets the slender pick over Wise Approach.

Winning trainer Charlie Appleby said: “We never expected to stumble (coming out of the stalls), but the plan was to drop in. I felt in the Morny that William gave him a great ride, but I did feel that when he gave him the kick he was electric that day, but I did feel that the horse just pulled up in front.
“I said to William just put him on the line today. Now, he did that, but it is never easy to watch when you go across like that. Anyway, full credit to William and full credit to the horse. I’m delighted to have a juvenile like him.
"I think he has given us glimpses of it (turn of foot). At Ascot he won impressively in his maiden. Me and York just don’t go hand-in-hand, but then at Royal Ascot we said hold him up Will. Gstaad won that day, but we won the other group really as we did the same that day.
"We were learning about the horse. Obviously he has got stronger and here we are today. He is battle hardened and he is a bit more chiselled for sure (compared to his previous two winners of the race), but he is a Mehmas and he is a half-brother to a good sprinter. I’m delighted for the team.
"I’d say that is it for this year. He is very much a Commonwealth Cup horse for next year and we will stick to Plan A.”
Paddock Notes
5 Golden Palace - no fitness questions but very tense, having a good look at everything and needs to settle
2 Anthelia - presents similar each run and they’ve kept her condition up through a busy year. On toes, typical paddock behaviour for her.
4 Fitzella - neat and well put together filly, not the biggest. Upholding coat condition, still a shine to her and looks in great order.
9 True Love - head and shoulders above the rest at Ascot and she’s still physically stronger than these, impressive
1 America Queen - a little fussy and keen to get on with things but has a good walk, no fitness questions
6 Havana Anna - still a little high behind and will continue to grow into her frame, no fitness queries
8 Royal Fixation - slighter filly than some of these, but all muscle and quality; likeable type, no negatives
7 Orion's Belt - caught the eye when winning at Newmarket’s July course, looks improved again
3 Beautify - rangier filly than her stablemate; athletic build. In good order
Paddock Verdict
9 True Love gets the nod, physically impressive filly who still catches the eye late in the season. Fitzella to outrun expectations.

Winning trainer Aidan O’Brien said: “We are delighted with her. Wayne gave her a lovely ride and she is a fine, big powerful filly and she travelled well. Ryan (Moore) was very helpful to Wayne before the race and he told him to wait, and hold on, between the two and one pole with her. She is a big powerhouse and she is very quick.
“She has a great constitution and eats very well. She takes her races very well. She has a great mind, and you can see after the race she is very chilled. I couldn’t be happier really. The last day was a bit of a mess. Ryan felt he went the wrong way with her and the other one was gone. Ryan felt her last run wasn’t her run and he very was convinced about that and her work was very good. You couldn’t be happier with her today.
“We did (think she would be the one to beat). We took a chance with the other filly (Beautify) running her back quick and it might have been a little bit quick, but this was the big filly with the speed.
“I thought she would (get the better of Havana Anna). She put her head down when Wayne got hold of her. Wayne hadn’t got hold of her until the other filly joined him and you can see when he did catch a hold of her that her head went down and he was very strong on her.
Paddock Notes
3 Bow Echo - narrow, slender framed type, professional attitude, not the biggest colt but well balanced and hard to fault. High level of rib definition
4 Daytona - typical Wootton Bassett with a deep girth, strong colt, fit
2 Ancient Egypt - nice stamp of a physical and fills the eye with some size and scope. A touch green and babyish still, whinnying
8 Tailgunner Joe - compact colt, lacks the quality of some of these and still keen to get on with things, nice prospect for the yard next year
5 Humidity - always presents well, smart colt, well balanced and walks out well, wears red hood but very professional
7 Pacific Avenue - sturdily built colt, big unit, hasn’t come on notably from Sandown
6 Lord Britain - a little tense through neck with two handlers, big framed colt, okay fitness
1 Action - easy going colt, hasn’t turned a hair throughout preliminaries, wouldn’t jump out as the fittest in the field for all he has definition
Paddock Verdict
Between 3 Bow Echo and 5 Humidity, very different physicals - Bow Echo very slight and still raw, Humidity, compact, well muscled and already finished package.

Winning trainer George Boughey said: “It was a good performance and I’m delighted. He showed a great attitude for an inexperienced horse to go in a proper Group Two. He has got so much pace. He is a fast horse and he could have started over six furlongs. He got a lovely ride as he allowed him to just relax early.
“I was keen for him to do it the right way around as he could have been forward and try to make a test of it, but he has got a turn of foot and it was nice to see that today. He has only done a few bits of work as he is a very raw animal, but he is certainly a very good one.
“I was actually pretty relaxed as he has just made my job so easy. Jordan McMurray, who rides him, does a great job. He has been a very easy horse to train. He has been a very sound horse of mind. He is much the best colt that has gone through my hands. We have had some nice fillies, but he is head and shoulders above the rest of them (colts).
“He is a miler at the moment for sure. His pedigree goes back to some ten furlong horses, but we are pretty comfortable at the mile for the moment. It was a nice trial for May. He is a horse that I don’t think needs a trial (before the 2000 Guineas). He is a Group Two winner at two and hopefully he will come straight back here next year.”
