Libranno to Spoil Stable-mate Strong Suit's Party in the Lennox Stakes 26/07/11

Glorious Goodwood has finally arrived and takes place on the most picturesque course in the country. On a sunny day that is! The weather is set to be fair and dry, providing perfect racing conditions to host the Group 3 Gordon Stakes, Group 3 Molecomb Stakes for 2yo dashing over 5f and the big race of Day 1, the Group 2 Lennox Stakes over the 7f of rolling South Downs.

Libranno

Fiorente will be a short priced favourite of the Gordon Stakes at 2.35. The Ballymacol stud owned Sir Michael Stoute trained colt. He looks set fair to scoop the prize and go one better than the runner up spot he found behind Nathaniel at Ascot last time out. He was beaten five lengths that day, but the form has certainly been franked in the most impressive fashion since.

In the other Group 3 race of the day, the Molecomb Stakes, we have to consider what draw advantage may have shown itself on the straight course earlier in the day. The youngsters go over the minimum trip here and it's a race where a few previous runs building confidence and experience will usually stand an entry in good stead. Stonefield Flyer is likely to be double figure odds and representing value for valuechecker on the day. Dropping back to 5f once again, he looks set to find more improvement in taking this race.

Finally, in the big race of the day, the Lennox Stakes at 3.10. Libranno is taken to account for the likes of stablemate Strong Suit, Delegator, whom he has beaten previously and meets on better terms today, and Red Jazz who is yet to win a race in company as good as this. The race looks to be between the four, but Valuechecker is siding with Richard Hannons “second string”? As conditions look to be far more suited to him than any other runner in this four strong shortlist.

Recommendations:

2.35 FIORENTE - 3.10 LIBRANNO - 3.45 STONEFIELD FLYER
