Richard Hannon says Eureka for sprint

Assessing their respective chances, the trainer said: "Hughesie (Richard Hughes] has opted for Eureka, and he is probably right. Both his wins have been over six furlongs, but he has plenty of speed and would have won over five at Salisbury, so we are not worried about dropping back in trip.

"While he is drawn low, If Paradise won from stall one, and Super Sprint winners have come from both sides and up the middle, so that is not a problem.

"Like Eureka, Redact is two from two, and I was pleased to get that second run into him at Salisbury last week as it gives him that extra bit of experience which is essential in a race like this. He is a decent colt and drawn where he is (15), Ryan (Moore] will be able to choose his route.

"Right Result is still a maiden, but he has just been unlucky to bump into one or two each time and, while the form of Airborne Again's Salisbury maiden win has not worked out well, he could not have won easier."

Lily's Angel is a major contender for Richard Fahey and champion jockey Paul Hanagan. The Dark Angel filly has won four of her six career starts and impressed in a Newmarket Listed race on her latest appearance.

Tim Palin, racing manager for owners Middleham Park Racing, said: "She's in good form and has worked well this week. Richard said he couldn't have her any better and Paul rode her at home and said she feels as good as ever."

Brian Meehan's Mention impressed in a maiden at the track last month and Tony Stafford, racing manager to owner Raymond Tooth, is hopeful of a bold show. "I thought she was quite impressive when winning her maiden at Newbury," said Stafford. "We would not be at all surprised if she's in the money and we'd be delighted if she was, as it's a valuable prize."

Hughie Morrison, meanwhile, is afraid the ground could go against Pastoral Player in the Shadwell Stakes on the same Newbury card.

Registered as the Hackwood Stakes, the Group 3 contest in 2004 was won by the four-year-old's sire, Pastoral Pursuits, who won the July Cup the following season. While Morrison is taking it one race at a time with Pastoral Player, the Wokingham third steps back up in trip, having tried five furlongs at Sandown last time from a poor draw.

"He's come out of Sandown in good form and I don't think he had a particularly hard race that day, so he's ready to go again," said Morrison. "I don't mind a bit of rain but I just hope the ground doesn't end up being loose - that's my fear, really."

Regal Parade, last year's winner, is back for another go for Dandy and Adrian Nicholls. The seven-year-old followed up his victory in this 12 months ago by winning the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest.

He finished four and a half lengths behind Dream Ahead in the July Cup last weekend and will not have to carry a penalty for this assignment. "I was very happy with him last week. I didn't get any room with him in the July Cup from the two-furlong marker but it's the first time this season I felt him pick up," said his jockey. "Ideally they could have gone quicker for me as they didn't go much of a gallop, but we saw the Regal Parade of old."

Paul Henderson is keeping his fingers crossed Kylenoe Fairy can continue to defy the handicapper in the totescoop6 Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen.

The seven-year-old has risen 30lb in the weights since registering a first success over obstacles at Folkestone last November, securing three victories at Newton Abbot since the start of May.
