Soul Love Aims for Triumph in Prix Sigy on Sky Sports Racing
Tuesday's Sky Sports Racing features the Group Three Prix Sigy, with Karl Burke's Soul Love leading the charge for British success in the Chantilly sprint contest. This renewal appears particularly competitive, with Argentine Tango and Soul Love at the forefront of the British challenge. Following a winning weekend in France, Karl Burke saddles the undefeated Soul Love, ridden by Sam James. As a daughter of Starman, she has shown promise in her all-weather victories but will need to elevate her performance to compete at this level. She merits an opportunity at this higher grade and could prove to be above average. Francis-Henri Graffard's Moojeed, who previously won at Group Three level as a two-year-old, will attempt to bounce back under Mickael Brzalona after a disappointing outing. Argentine Tango, highly regarded at two, displayed excellent form, including a Listed win at Newmarket, and her connections report her to be in excellent condition, making her a potential contender. Joseph O'Brien's Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey are the best of the remaining competitors. The five-runner Download The At The Races App Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield may feature a talented filly or two, with Lara Antipova and Lahan Kingman seeking their first victories. Tom Clover's Lara Antipova performed well on her debut at Wetherby and then finished second at Wolverhampton, clearing the third and likely to be a strong contender in this similar event. Lahan Kingman finished third to Guineas prospect Touleen on her first start and then ran creditably when second at Wolverhampton, and she should improve on that effort after showing signs of inexperience. Andrew Balding's Leonie is another shortlisted candidate, with Cosmic making her debut for Richard Hannon and Stolen completing the field. For jump racing enthusiasts, Newton Abbot hosts a six-race card, featuring the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase, where recent winners Soldierofthestorm and Tapley are the headliners. Jonjo O'Neill Jr's Soldierofthestorm secured his first win over fences at Sandown last month and, having jumped impressively, he is the one to beat under this 5lb higher mark. Tapley poses the main threat for the Suzy Smith team, having built on a couple of placed efforts to achieve a second fencing success at Stratford, and he deserves respect under Isabelle Ryder. Sheldon is worth reconsidering after his solid second-place finish at Newbury, although he has not won in over two years.
