Hollie Doyle: Wareeth in Top Condition Ahead of Classic Trial
This weekend, I have three rides lined up at Southwell, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. One of my key focuses is on Archie Watson's exciting colt Wareeth, who is set to participate in the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket next week. Wareeth has shown immense promise, particularly after his impressive debut at Newcastle, where he won by 14 lengths. When I recently put him through his paces in Lambourn, he seemed fresh and well. I'm eager to see how he performs in the Feilden Stakes, which could potentially lead to a spot in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to riding Fircombe Hall in the Come Racing For Free 18th June Handicap, as he's been in terrific form lately. With a good draw in stall two and only a 3lbs rise for his latest win, I believe he has a strong chance. Another notable ride for me is Thomas Equinas, who will be competing in the Conference & Events At Southwell Racecourse Handicap. Although he needs to improve on his recent performances, he's well handicapped based on his old form. I also have high hopes for Dean Ivory's seven-year-old, who knows how to win on the All-Weather and is 5lbs below his last winning mark. However, a wide draw in stall 10 might pose a challenge. Looking ahead to the Grand National, I think Dan Skelton's Panic Attack has a good chance, particularly with only 10st 5lbs on her back. Additionally, IROKO, carrying the famous JP McManus silks, could be a dark horse in the competition.
