Hollie Doyle Blog: Gaining Insight into Derby Prospect Wareeth

This week, Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle will be competing at Newmarket's Craven meeting, with a notable ride on the promising Derby contender Wareeth in the Listed Feilden Stakes. On Wednesday, we will discover if Wareeth has the potential to be a Derby horse when he participates in the Listed Feilden Stakes. The additional furlong in this race should suit the son of Sea The Stars, who is taking a significant step up in class after winning his novice race over 1m at Newcastle last month by an impressive 14 lengths. Although he does not currently hold a Derby entry, we have been pleased with Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's colt since his debut. I had the opportunity to ride him last week and was impressed, but we will know more about his abilities 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 a promising fourth in the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud in the autumn. He holds a Derby entry and has an official rating of 106, setting the standard for the other colts. Like Wareeth, Godolphin's colt Poseidon's Warrior is moving up from novice company after winning over this distance at Goodwood and is also entered in the Classic. Not surprisingly, all three colts are entered in the traditional Derby trial, the Group 2 Dante at York next month. I am expecting a strong performance from Heather Main's sprinter ZOULU CHIEF in the Weatherbys With Venatour Racing Handicap on Wednesday. He ran a great race for me at Newmarket in the autumn, and after a busy winter on the All-Weather, he is approaching his prime as a five-year-old. I have had the chance to ride 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 likely being a long shot, this tough daughter of New Bay brings some impressive form into this Betfred 1000 Guineas trial. IMPOSSIBLE MISSION needs to demonstrate that he can perform as well on turf as he does on the All-Weather when he receives weight from all his rivals in the National Stud Handicap on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Des Donovan's LADY FIZZ will be gaining experience in the Molson Coors British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes. I am looking forward to riding Marco Botti's Shergar Cup winner PRINCE OF INDIA in the Zyn Abernant Stakes on Thursday. It will be my first time riding him on the track, but I was impressed 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 have high expectations for Hawk Mountain this year, and I will be disappointed if he does not make a winning return in the Group 3 Betway Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday. Another favorite of mine is Karl Burke's Boiling Point, who returns to turf in the Group 3 Betway Earl Of Sefton Stakes on Wednesday. The Cambridgeshire winner likely needed his recent outing and can establish himself as a genuine Pattern performer this season.
