Red Cadeaux Aiming to Sign Off on a High

Red Cadeaux Aiming to Sign Off on a High. Red Cadeaux aims to finish a superb 1st half the season on a high in a very competitive renewal of the Princess Of Wales's Goldsmiths Stakes at Newmarket.

Ed Dunlop's consistent six-year-old was agonisingly crushed a nose by Dunaden in last year's Melbourne Cup and finished third behind identical horse within the Hong Kong Vase on his final begin of 2011.

He has taken his game to a different level thus far this season, winning the Yorkshire Cup and inserting behind top-class middle-distance performers St Nicholas Abbey and ocean Moon on his last number of appearances.

He has his sights lowered slightly in Thursday's cluster 2, for what's possible to be his final look before his preparations for a second Melbourne Cup tilt begin.

"There ought to be an honest pace with Harris Tweed within the field, as he tends to form the running," said Dunlop.

"We have a 3lb penalty to touch upon for his Yorkshire Cup win, however he is in smart type and also the ground is appropriate for him, thus we'll provides it a go.

"We've waved the white flag with Dunaden as he is crushed us 3 times currently, however our type is rock solid and he has clearly improved enormously this year.

"This can in all probability be his last run for a short time, before we have a tendency to begin brooding about Australia once more, however we'll see."

Harris Tweed was somewhat below 3 lengths behind Red Cadeaux when third within the Yorkshire Cup and his trainer, William Haggas, admits he may be powerful to beat.

Haggas said: "Our horse is incredibly well and that i would not mind seeing somewhat a lot of rain for him - the a lot of rain the higher.

"Red Cadeaux has the penalty now, however he is a awfully smart and consistent horse and he'll in all probability win.

"But if i used to be running off from a six-year-old gelding, i would not be doing my job properly, thus we'll see what happens."

Newmarket-based Italian Marco Botti features a robust hand, saddling each Jakkalberry and Joshua Tree.

The former ran a superb race within the Dubai Sheema Classic and is anticipated to enhance on his fifth placed end within the Hardwicke Stakes, though Botti is hoping there's no a lot of rain at Headquarters.

He said: "Jakkalberry has begin of Royal Ascot in smart order. we have a tendency to are simply monitoring what proportion rain there's at Newmarket as a result of he's a fast-ground horse - he would be fine with somewhat little bit of cut within the ground however he would not need it too soft.

"I assume that he has positively return on for his run within the Hardwicke Stakes. we have a tendency to gave him a clear stage when he came back from Dubai which race can have brought him on.

"His run within the Dubai Sheema Classic, when he had ideal conditions, was in all probability his best run so far.

"We are aiming him at the Melbourne Cup this year and there are a handful of choices before then. He may head to Chicago in August or for the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury.

"Joshua Tree ran a decent race in Italy. Being by Montjeu, he gets away with somewhat little bit of cut within the ground however he would not need it too soft either. he's a solid recent horse and he ran some nice races out in Dubai at the beginning of the year.

"We are keen to urge a run into him as a result of we would like to stay him work for the new race on the Arlington Million card over a mile, 5 and a 0.5 furlongs. he is a horse who takes lots of labor thus we want to run him to stay him work."

James Fanshawe's Dandino was a detailed second behind ocean Moon on his penultimate begin at Goodwood, however was then a crushed odds-on favorite over this course and distance late last month.

Oscar Yeadon, assistant racing manager for house owners Elite Racing Club, said: "He's fine and well and has run well on every of his 3 starts this season.

"He ran a awfully smart race against ocean Moon and also the type has been franked since, obviously.

"We felt there have been a couple of mitigating circumstances at Newmarket last time because the pace of the race wasn't extremely run to suit and we're attempting him back on somewhat easier ground.

"We recognize he is a awfully smart horse on his day thus if things head to set up, he gets the rub of the inexperienced and he shows his best type, then we're hopeful he'll be competitive."

Godolphin are represented by Modun, whereas Sir Michael Stoute saddles Fiorente.

The Luca Cumani-trained Quest For Peace and ocean Of Heartbreak from Roger Charlton's stable complete the nine-runner field.
