Enticing 有機會過美國雅靈頓跑
WILLIAM HAGGAS has resisted the temptation to add Enticing to the field for the Nunthorpe Stakes, but revealed on Monday he is considering a trip to Chicago for his back-to-form sprinter.
He had not entered the filly for York as she had failed to run to her best in recent efforts, but the 5f championship event emerged as a possible option after the four-year-old's success in Goodwood's Group 3 King George Stakes.
However, the trainer said: “She won't be supplemented for the Nunthorpe. If she goes anywhere she will go to Arlington on August 23 for a stakes race called the Pucker Up Stakes, or she will go to Ireland on August 31.
“The race at Arlington is a five-and-a-half-furlong turf fillies' race worth $200,000, so we're going to have a look at that. It looks like she's back to her best.”
Plans remain fluid for Haggas's Stewards' Cup winner Conquest, but King's Apostle, who chased his stable companion home in the £100,000 handicap at Goodwood last Saturday, is set to step up to Listed company.
“I haven't got a clue where Conquest will go, but we will put him in the Ayr Gold Cup,” said the trainer. “King's Apostle will probably go for the Hopeful Stakes at Newmarket on August 23.”
