Cheveley Park, Sun Chariot fields taking shape

Winning Express, trained by Ed McMahon, is one of the 15 fillies engaged for

the Group 1, £163,500 Cheveley Park at Newmarket on Saturday after she was

supplemented Monday at a cost of £15,000.

The daughter of Camacho is unbeaten in two starts and scored by a comfortable

1 1/4 lengths from Jadanna in the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury over

six furlongs on September 6. She had previously come from an unfavorable

position at Sandown to win by a half-length when making her debut over five

furlongs on August 9.

"Winning Express has been fine since she won at Salisbury," said McMahon, who

trains in Staffordshire. "She didn't necessarily surprise me with her

performance there because she won very nicely at Sandown before that -- not many

fillies come from where she did to win at Sandown on debut. When she won the

Dick Poole Stakes, everything went right for her and she won accordingly. I was

very pleased with her performance.

"She has always been a very professional filly which is why she has won first

and second time out. Her work at home has always been very good and we backed

her into favoritism at Sandown which you don't do unless you think they know

what they are doing.

"If you look back in history, Rae Guest won the Cheveley Park with Serious

Attitude after she won the Dick Poole and you could go for a Group 3 but it's

late on in the season and Winning Express has only run twice. The form of the

race at Salisbury is very strong and it was a truly run race so I think she

deserves to take her chance in the Cheveley Park given she hasn't done anything

wrong this year.

"I don't think she would want extremes of ground and she would probably go on

going a fraction slower than good but ideally she would want it quicker than

good to be at her best."

Those going forward for the six-furlong contest include the Irish-trained

Sendmylovetorose, who denied Maureen, from Richard Hannon's powerful team, by a

neck in the Group 2 Cherry Hinton at Newmarket's July Festival.

Group 2 Queen Mary scorer Ceiling Kitty is one of two confirmations for

trainer Tom Dascombe, while the unbeaten Group 2 Lowther heroine Rosdhu Queen

remains engaged for Newmarket handler William Haggas.

Other notable entries include valuable sales race winner The Gold Cheongsam,

Italian stakes winner Sandreamer and Michael Bell's Hoyam, while Aidan O'Brien

could saddle Snow Queen and Infanta Branca.

Saturday's card is a cracker with two Group 1s, a Group 2 and the

Cambridgeshire Handicap.

Beauty Parlour could have her first race since joining Sir Henry Cecil's team

in the Group 1 Sun Chariot for fillies and mares at one mile. Formerly trained

in France by Elie Lellouche and owned by Ecurie Wildenstein, Beauty Parlour was

second in the Group 1 Prix de Diane on her latest start in June.

Cecil has also left in recent Group 1 Matron winner Chachamaidee, for which

there are 11 fillies remaining following the confirmation stage. Francois

Doumen's Siyouma is the sole French-trained entry while there are three possible

Irish challengers in the shape of Dermot Weld's Emulous, Aidan O'Brien's Up and

La Collina from Kevin Prendergast's yard.

Richard Hannon holds a strong hand in the Group 2 Royal Lodge for

two-year-old colts with the unbeaten Toronado and Havana Gold still engaged.

Toronado won the Group 2 Champagne at Doncaster last time out while Havana Gold,

who unseated Ryan Moore in France, has won all his other three starts.

The three-day Cambridgeshire Festival starts Thursday.
