Sky Sports Racing: Exciting Sunday Lineup Features Mondo Man in Sussex Champion Hurdle

Sunday promises to be an action-packed day of racing with events from Bath, Plumpton, Southwell, and Longchamp broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The highlight of the day is the BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton, where Mondo Man is set to compete after his impressive performance in the Imperial Cup last month. Trained by Gary and Josh Moore, Mondo Man is aiming to build on his recent success and potentially pave the way for a Royal Ascot appearance later in the year. However, he faces strong competition, particularly from Serious Challenge, who recently suffered a narrow defeat in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso and is rated 135. Meanwhile, in Europe, the prestigious Group Two Prix d'Harcourt will take place at ParisLongchamp, featuring a rematch between Cualificar and Bay City Roller. Cualificar, representing Godolphin and Andre Fabre, will look to bounce back from a disappointing 15th place finish in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, while Bay City Roller seeks to continue his winning streak after claiming the Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern in November. The Grand Prix de Paris winner, Leffard, who finished behind both in the Prix Niel but showed improvement in the Arc, also cannot be overlooked. Other notable contenders include the Wathnan Racing duo and the progressive Best Secret. At Bath, the Listed Lansdown Stakes will feature 14 runners, including Beautiful Diamond and Miss Attitude, both of whom have shown impressive form in previous races. Beautiful Diamond, having competed in Group One company and won a Listed race at Ayr, is the highest-rated horse in the field and rightly leads the market. Miss Attitude, a seasoned campaigner with a Listed win at Deauville, poses the main threat to the favorite. Other races of interest include the appearances of Good Earth at Southwell, facing a 5lb penalty, and the unexposed Henry Halflight stepping into handicap company. The Group Three Prix la Force at ParisLongchamp features Francis Graffard's promising Aga Khan colt, while the beautifully-bred Zayida begins her three-year-old campaign in the Group Three Prix Vanteaux.
