Soul Love Aims for Prix Sigy Victory on Sky Sports Racing
Tuesday's Sky Sports Racing features the Group Three Prix Sigy, with Karl Burke's Soul Love leading the British charge in the Chantilly sprint contest. This renewal appears to be highly competitive, with Argentine Tango and Soul Love at the forefront of the British contingent. Karl Burke, who enjoyed a win in France on Sunday, will be partnering the unbeaten Soul Love with jockey Sam James. As a daughter of Starman, Soul Love has shown promise in her all-weather victories but will need to elevate her performance to be competitive in this higher-level competition. She merits an opportunity at this level and could potentially exceed expectations. 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. Argentine Tango, who demonstrated impressive form at two, including a Listed contest win at Newmarket, is reportedly in fine form and could put in a strong showing. Joseph O'Brien's Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey are the next best contenders. Another intriguing event is the five-runner Download The At The Races App Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield, which may feature a talented filly or two, including Lara Antipova and Lahan Kingman, as they attempt to secure their first victory. Lara Antipova, trained by Tom Clover, performed well in her debut at Wetherby in June before finishing second at Wolverhampton in February, and she 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 a credible race at Wolverhampton, and she should improve upon that effort. Andrew Balding's Leonie is another to consider, while Cosmic will be making her debut for Richard Hannon, and Stolen completes the lineup. For fans of jump racing, Newton Abbot will host a six-race card, featuring the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase, where recent winners Soldierofthestorm and Tapley are the headlining acts. Jonjo O'Neill Jr's Soldierofthestorm, who won over fences at Sandown last month, is the one to beat under this 5lb higher mark, given his superb jumping performance. Tapley, trained by Suzy Smith, looks to be the main threat after building on a couple of placed efforts to secure a second fencing success at Stratford. Sheldon is also worth considering after his solid second-place finish at Newbury, although he has not won in over two years.
