Livachope (Fr)

Andrew Balding is looking forward to saddling Jeff Smith's Newbury novice scorer Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never) in Thursday's G3 Shadwell Dick Poole Fillies' S. at Salisbury. One of 14 juvenile fillies set to line up for the six-furlong contest, for which she is due to break from the outside stall, the bay is held in high regard by her Kingsclere handler. "The filly has huge potential," he said. "The draw could have been a little kinder. We're stuck out on the wing again, but she's a filly we...

Having conquered Royal Ascot, Stonestreet Stables' Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) has dead aim at Sunday's G1 Darley Prix Morny at Deauville.

Flashing early speed from her wide draw to move to the rail and the lead under Anthony Crastus, the May 13 course-and-distance maiden scorer was in front the whole way up the five-furlong straight and despite drifting right in the last furlong held on to beat fellow filly Pom Malpic...
