Sky Sports Racing: Soul Love Pursues Prix Sigy Victory
Tuesday's Sky Sports Racing features the Group Three Prix Sigy, where Karl Burke's Soul Love will compete in the sprint event at Chantilly. This renewal of the Prix Sigy appears competitive, with Argentine Tango and Soul Love leading the British charge. Burke, who achieved a win in France on Sunday, will saddle the undefeated Soul Love, ridden by Sam James. As a daughter of Starman, Soul Love has delivered impressive victories in her all-weather starts but will need to elevate her performance to be competitive in this contest. She merits an opportunity at this higher level and may prove to be above average. Francis-Henri Graffard's Moojeed, who won at Group Three level as a two-year-old, will be ridden by Mickael Brzalona and is expected to bounce back after a disappointing performance behind Green Sense in the Prix Robert Papin. Argentine Tango, who displayed excellent form as a two-year-old, including a Listed contest win at Newmarket, is reported to be in fine form by her connections and could put in a strong performance. Jospeh O'Brien's Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey are the top contenders among the rest. The Download The At The Races App Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield features a potential smart filly, with Lara Antipova and Lahan Kingman seeking their first win. Lara Antipova, trained by Tom Clover, performed well on her debut at Wetherby and then finished second at Wolverhampton, 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 and then ran with credit when second at Wolverhampton, and is expected to improve on that effort. Andrew Balding's Leonie, Cosmic, and Stolen complete the field. For jumps enthusiasts, Newton Abbot hosts a six-race card, headlined by the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase, featuring recent winners Soldierofthestorm and Tapley. Jonjo O'Neill Jr's Soldierofthestorm, who secured a win over fences at Sandown last month, is the one to beat under this 5lb higher mark. Tapley, trained by Suzy Smith, looks like the primary threat after achieving a second fencing success at Stratford and deserves respect under Isabelle Ryder. Sheldon is also worth considering after his solid second-place finish at Newbury, despite being without a win for over two years.
