Hollie Doyle Blog: Gaining Insight into Derby Prospect Wareeth

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle will be in action at Newmarket's Craven meeting, with a notable ride on Derby prospect Wareeth in the Listed Feilden Stakes. This week, I'm looking forward to riding my boss Archie Watson's exciting colt Wareeth, who will be competing in the Listed Feilden Stakes. The additional distance will be ideal for the son of Sea The Stars, who is taking a significant step up in class after winning his novice race over 1m at Newcastle by 14 lengths. Although Wareeth doesn't have a Derby entry, we've been impressed with Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's colt since his racecourse debut. I had the chance to ride him last week and he felt good, but we'll know more after this second start. Aidan O'Brien's Isaac Newton has an edge in terms of 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. Both Wareeth and Godolphin's Poseidon's Warrior are moving up from novice company and are entered in the Classic. I'm expecting a strong performance from Heather Main's sprinter ZOULU CHIEF in the Weatherbys With Venatour Racing Handicap. He's been active on the All-Weather over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton and giving a good battle to Completely Random at Lingfield Park. As a five-year-old, he's approaching his prime and looks every bit a 90 horse. I've had the chance to ride work on Jane Chapple-Hyam's outsider HARLEQUIN BREEZE, and I believe she's worth her place in the Group 3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes. Despite likely odds, this tough daughter of New Bay brings some impressive form into this Betfred 1000 Guineas trial. IMPOSSIBLE MISSION needs to prove himself on turf, receiving weight from all his rivals in the National Stud Handicap. John Butler's three-year-old made a winning handicap debut under Neil Callan at Wolverhampton and should have improved since his reappearance. Des Donovan's LADY FIZZ will be gaining experience in the Molson Coors British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, taking on fillies from powerful yards over 1m. I'm looking forward to riding Marco Botti's Shergar Cup winner PRINCE OF INDIA in the Zyn Abernant Stakes. It'll be my first time riding him on the track, but I liked him when I sat on him on the gallops last year. He's a powerfully built colt who could be a force in stakes sprints this summer. I'm expecting big things from Hawk Mountain, so I'll be disappointed if he doesn't make a winning return in the Group 3 Betway Craven Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's son of Wootton Bassett is already a Group 1 winner and can strengthen his Derby claims. Another favorite of mine is Karl Burke's Boiling Point, who returns to turf in the Group 3 Betway Earl Of Sefton Stakes. The Cambridgeshire winner probably needed the outing in a steadily run Winter Derby, but with that run under his belt, he can establish himself as a genuine Pattern performer this season.
