The Richard Hannon-trained juveniles Threat (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) and Mystery Power (Ire) (No Nay Never) were both overturned at Goodwood last week, but the trainer said he is confident both colts will bounce back.
Cheveley Park Stud's 'TDN Rising Star' Threat, who had finished second in the G2 Coventry S., was beaten 3/4 of a length in second in the G2 Richmond S. at Goodwood after a less than ideal trip.
“I was disappointed he didn't win at Goodwood as I think the world of the horse, but they did finish clear of the third,” Hannon said. “He was dragged over from stall one over to the stands rail and that probably didn't help. I'd like to think we are working back from the 2000 Guineas with this horse, though. Staying at six furlongs might be the answer for this year. Whether he goes to the Gimcrack at York or the Prix Morny at Deauville next, we will just have to wait and see.”
King Power Racing's G2 Superlative S. winner Mystery Power beat just one home in Goodwood's G2 Vintage S., and Hannon revealed that the colt scoped poorly post-race.
“He came back after the Vintage and scoped wrong, so that would explain the poor run,” he said. “We might just wait for the Champagne S. at Doncaster with him. He will have a three-pound penalty, but we won the Superlative and the Champagne with Estidhkaar.”
