Soul Love Aims for Prix Sigy Victory on Sky Sports Racing
Tuesday's Sky Sports Racing action is headlined by the Group Three Prix Sigy, with Karl Burke's Soul Love set to compete in the sprint contest at Chantilly. This renewal of the Prix Sigy appears highly competitive, with Argentine Tango and Soul Love leading the British charge. 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 delivered impressive performances in her all-weather victories but will need to demonstrate further improvement to be competitive in this event. She merits an opportunity at this higher level and has the potential to exceed expectations. Francis-Henri Graffard's Moojeed, who previously won at Group Three level as a two-year-old before underperforming in the Prix Robert Papin, will be ridden by Mickael Brzalona and is expected to bounce back. 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. Joseph O'Brien's Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey are the top picks among the remaining competitors. Meanwhile, 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 to break their maiden. Lara Antipova, trained by Tom Clover, performed well on her debut at Wetherby in June before finishing second at Wolverhampton in February. She is likely to be a strong contender in this 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, suggesting she may improve with experience. Andrew Balding's Leonie, Cosmic, and Stolen complete the field. For jumps enthusiasts, Newton Abbot hosts a six-race card, 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, who won over fences at Sandown last month, is the favorite under a 5lb higher mark. Tapley, trained by Suzy Smith, is 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.
