Empowerment to get off the mark in Ladbrokesbingo.com Nursery at Folkestone
Vestibule is likely to give another good crack after a couple of fine efforts lately. But the form of Empowerment’s latest third has been well advertised, and he can open his account in the nursery company.
After an improved act, the 2-year-old is geared up to show more progress in the Ladbrokesbingo.com Nursery, going down at Folkestone on Tuesday, September 18th.
Empowerment faced a couple of embarrassing defeats at the start of his career. After ending up sixth at Newbury, the novice could not raise his game, and finished fifth behind Labienus at Lingfield.
A couple of shocks right at the start of career would have dented his confidence significantly. Yet, the Richard Hannon-trained took no pressure last time out.
The audience at Epsom saw him showing a lot of power in the British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Stakes at the end of last month. It was a very tough affair, but Empowerment did well to ensure the third place in the hands of Pat Dobbs.
He chased the leader terrifically early on, and was second in the middle stages. However, he could not maintain the standards, and lost his spot a couple of furlongs before the wire. Getting weakened inside the final furlong made things hectic for him and
as a result, he could not trouble the leading pair.
Nine competitors are waiting for him in the field. On good to firm, the contestants will compete for a cash prize worth £2,386. As per the preset plan, the class 5 meeting will be kicked off at 16:20 GMT.
Vestibule is doing reasonably well on a busy campaign these days. Just a few days after a classy win, the 2-year-old showed another stunning act, grabbing the runner-up spot last Saturday. It was no more than an unlucky day for the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained,
who missed the glory only by a head’s distance at Bath.
Owned by Miss E. Johnson Houghton, the filly is in very good rhythm at the moment. But she will find it really difficult to outpace Empowerment, whose latest run has been well advertised. Good luck to all the horses.
