Hollie Doyle Blog: Gaining Insight into Derby Prospect Wareeth

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle is set to participate in the Craven meeting at Newmarket, featuring an exciting ride on Derby prospect Wareeth in the Listed Feilden Stakes. This week's Craven Meeting at Newmarket will be crucial as my standout ride, Wareeth, trained by my boss Archie Watson, takes part in the Listed Feilden Stakes. The additional furlong will be ideal for the Sea The Stars colt, who is taking a significant step up in class after winning his novice over 1m at Newcastle by 14 lengths. Although Wareeth does not have a Derby entry, we have been pleased with Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's colt since his debut. I had the chance to ride him last week and felt good, but we will know more after this second start. Aidan O'Brien's Isaac Newton has an edge in experience, having won his maiden at Goodwood and finished fourth in the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. He holds a Derby entry and has an official rating of 106. Poseidon's Warrior, trained by Godolphin, also makes the leap from novice company after winning over this distance at Goodwood and is entered in the Classic. All three colts are entered in the traditional Derby trial, the Group 2 Dante at York. I am expecting another strong performance from Heather Main's sprinter ZOULU CHIEF in the Weatherbys With Venatour Racing Handicap on Wednesday. He has been active on the All-Weather over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton and giving a good battle at Lingfield Park. Approaching his prime as a five-year-old, he is a few pounds higher than his best winning performance but looks every bit a 90 horse. I have ridden work on Jane Chapple-Hyam's outsider HARLEQUIN BREEZE and believe she is worth her place in the Group 3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes on Wednesday. Despite her likely odds, this tough daughter of New Bay brings some potentially smart form into this Betfred 1000 Guineas trial. IMPOSSIBLE MISSION needs to prove he is as good on turf as he is on the All-Weather when he receives weight from all his rivals in the National Stud Handicap on Wednesday. John Butler's three-year-old made a winning handicap debut under Neil Callan at Wolverhampton and should have come on for his reappearance. Meanwhile, it will be all about experience for Des Donovan's LADY FIZZ in the Molson Coors British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes. This debutant takes on fillies from powerful yards over 1m, which may be a minimum trip for her. I am looking forward to being back at Newmarket on Thursday to ride Marco Botti's Shergar Cup winner PRINCE OF INDIA in the Zyn Abernant Stakes. It will be the first time I have ridden him on the track, but I liked him when I sat on him on the gallops last year. He is a powerfully built colt who could be a force in stakes sprints this summer. I am expecting big things from Hawk Mountain this year, so I will be disappointed if he does not make a winning return in the Group 3 Betway Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday. Aidan O'Brien's son of Wootton Bassett is already a Group 1 winner and can strengthen his own Derby claims. Another favourite of mine is Karl Burke's Boiling Point, who returns to turf in the Group 3 Betway Earl Of Sefton Stakes on Wednesday.
