Fanshawe Encouraged By Cesare
Thursday 01 May 2008 at 10:47
Spacious has emerged as a genuine contender for Sunday's 1000 Guineas at Newmarket following an impressive display by one of her stable-mates.
Cesare coasted to victory in the Britain's Got Talent Paradise Stakes at Ascot on Wednesday and afterwards trainer James Fanshawe revealed Spacious (5/1 with Sportingbet) had looked in even better condition when the pair worked out together last weekend.
"I do get some encouragement from that, but one thing is work and another thing is racing. She can get Cesare on the bridle, that's for sure, but he's very lazy," said Fanshawe.
Meanwhile, jockey Richard Hills has moved to dismiss suggestions his mount Muthabara is out of condition, despite trainer John Dunlop expressing concerns about the filly.
He told PA Sport that Muthabara (9/2 at Paddy Power) is in good form and would also benefit from the rain that is forecast for the next couple of days.
Natagora, winner of last season's Cheveley Park Stakes, looks set to start the race as favourite and is available at 7/2 with Stan James.
