I'm set to ride a number of exciting horses at Newmarket's Craven meeting, including Wareeth, who will be taking on a talented field in the Listed Feilden Stakes as he bids to enhance his Derby prospects. Trained by Archie Watson, Wareeth will be facing a significant step up in class, but his impressive 14-length victory over a mile at Newcastle last month suggests he has the potential to make a big impact. Although he doesn't currently hold a Derby entry, his performance on Wednesday will be crucial in determining his future plans. Aidan O'Brien's Isaac Newton is likely to provide stiff competition, having already gained valuable experience with a win at Goodwood and a promising fourth-place finish in the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud.
With an official rating of 106, he sets a high standard for the field. I'm also looking forward to riding Zoulu Chief in the Weatherbys With Venatour Racing Handicap, where he'll be seeking to build on his recent success on the All-Weather circuit. As a five-year-old, he's approaching his prime and appears to be in excellent shape. In the Group 3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes, I've had the opportunity to ride work on Jane Chapple-Hyam's outsider Harlequin Breeze, and I believe she's worth her place in the field.
Despite being a maiden after three starts, she's shown significant improvement with each run and demonstrated her determination over course and distance. Impossible Mission will need to prove his ability on turf when he lines up in the National Stud Handicap, having shown promise on the All-Weather.
Meanwhile, Lady Fizz will be making her debut in the Molson Coors British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, where she'll face stiff competition from fillies from top yards. On Thursday, I'll be riding Prince Of India in the Zyn Abernant Stakes, a powerfully built colt who could make a significant impact in stakes sprints this summer. I'm also expecting a strong performance from Hawk Mountain in the Group 3 Betway Craven Stakes, who will be seeking to strengthen his Derby claims.
