Voodoo Prince to give a good account in Ayr’s Williamhill.com Handicap (For the Kilkerran Cup)
With Graham Lee booked once again, Voodoo Prince is geared up to deliver a fascinating performance in the Williamhill.com Handicap (For the Kilkerran Cup), to be hosted by Ayr on Thursday, September 20, 2012.
After facing an awful defeat at the start of this season, the 4-year-old swayed things in his favour. He turned his best effort over one mile and two furlongs on soft ground last time.
In the City of Ripon Stakes (Handicap), Ed Dunlop’s charge demonstrated a wonderful show in the hands of Graham Lee. The 8-1 chance held up towards rear early on. However, he did not lose determination, and switched left a couple of furlongs before the finishing line.
He stayed on well to lead approaching the final furlong. A strong finish guided him to an easy 1-length success. He is being ridden by the same jockey today, plus the conditions are almost similar. Thus, an equally good effort can easily be predicted.
Owned by Lord Derby, the son of Kingmambo is due to face 10 speedy horses in today’s class 2 contest. Every contestant will be fully determined to unleash his best in a bid to grab the big prize worth £12,450. According to the schedule, the action will be begun at 16:40 GMT.
Clayton may be the main threat to Voodoo Prince. Kevin Ryan’s 3-year-old has been performing pretty consistently since the start of his career. After a winning debut at Southwell, the bay gelding continued his good work to share the podium twice.
He was last seen at Musselburgh, where he finished second behind Scatter Dice. The Totepool.com Edinburgh Cup (Handicap) saw him missing the top place just by a neck’s distance. After so many consistent efforts, Clayton is fully pumped, and will be very hard to beat.
According to our calculations, it will be a nail-biting battle between Clayton and Voodoo Prince. The former is likely to make an impressive outing. However, it is tough to expect him to get the better of Voodoo Prince, who is in tremendous rhythm following a classy victory. We wish the best of luck to all the horses.
