Sky Sports Racing Today: Soul Love Aims for Prix Sigy Victory
The highlight of Tuesday's racing on Sky Sports Racing is the Group Three Prix Sigy at Chantilly, with Karl Burke's Soul Love leading the charge. This renewal of the Prix Sigy appears to be highly competitive, with Argentine Tango and Soul Love at the forefront of the British contenders. Karl Burke, who achieved a win in France on Sunday, will be saddling the undefeated Soul Love, ridden by Sam James. As a daughter of Starman, she has made a strong impression in her two all-weather victories but will need to demonstrate further improvement to be competitive at this level. She deserves an opportunity at this higher level and has the potential to be above average. Francis-Henri Graffard's Moojeed, who previously won at Group Three level as a two-year-old, will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance behind Green Sense in the Prix Robert Papin, with Mickael Brzalona on board. Argentine Tango showed excellent form at two, including a Listed contest win at Newmarket, and her connections report that she is in fine form, making her a potential contender. Jospeh 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 attempting to secure their first win. Lara Antipova, trained by Tom Clover, performed well on her debut at Wetherby in June before finishing second at Wolverhampton in February, pulling clear of the third and is likely to be a strong contender in this similar event. Lahan Kingman finished third to Guineas hopeful Touleen on her first start at Newbury last summer and then ran creditably when second at Wolverhampton last time, and is expected to improve on that effort after showing signs of inexperience once again. Andrew Balding's Leonie is another contender, while Cosmic makes her debut for Richard Hannon, and Stolen completes the field. For fans of jump racing, there is a six-race card at Newton Abbot, featuring the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase, where recent winners Soldierofthestorm and Tapley are the top contenders. Jonjo O'Neill Jr's Soldierofthestorm secured his first win over fences at Sandown last month and, having jumped impressively, is the one to beat under this 5lb higher mark. Tapley appears to be 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 deserves respect under Isabelle Ryder. Sheldon is worth considering after his solid second-place finish at Newbury but has not secured a win in over two years.
