Richard Hannon has high hopes for Sir Prancealot in the Betfair Funds The PJA Doctor National Stakes
Sir Prancealot will aim to score in the Betfair Funds The PJA Doctor National Stakes at Sandown on 31st May, 2012, where he will attempt to nab number five for his trainer, Richard Hannon in the last ten years.
The two-year-old ran a brilliant career maiden at Bath where he raced as a favourite with a 2-1 chance, and defeated, Strong Conviction, by a margin of 2 lengths in the British Stallion Studs/Premier Conservatory Roofs
E B F Maiden Stakes on 16th May, 2012.
This impressive race has given the trainer high hopes regarding his performance, and stated that if all goes well at Sandown, the next for him will be the Royal Ascot.
The trainer said:
"We like Sir Prancealot and he has really settled down. He used to get on his toes and could get quite warm, but this past month his work has been very sharp, and we weren't at all surprised that he won so well on his debut at Bath."
The trainer stated that the young runner’s speed and stamina will help him make it through the track at Sandown in these words:
“He was very professional at Bath and has speed to burn, so, hopefully, if all goes well at Sandown he could then be bound for Royal Ascot."
The bay colt will enter the race from post number 2 with rider, Richard Hughes on his back.
Mark Johnston’s charge, Storm Moon, will be one of toughest competitors that Sir Prancealot will encounter on the five furlong and six yard track at Sandown.
The two-year-old bay colt has competed in two starts, and scored in both of them. His aim for today will be to swiftly cover the track and land a victory to complete his hat-trick.
Owned by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the colt achieved a brilliant victory in the British Stallion Studs 32Red.com E B F Novice Stakes at Southwell on 24th April, 2012, where he defeated
Brian Ellison’s charge, Secret Destination, by 2 ¾ lengths.
Richard Hannon is counting on Sir Prancealot to emerge triumphant from this race so he can be taken to bigger races.
