| Mos Be Love - Gerald Mosse reunites with Reckless Abandon on Saturday |
Over in Ireland there is the Irish Champion Stakes whilst on our own shores Haydock host the Sprint Cup.
On paper the race looks a lay-up for the season’s sprinting star Lethal Force to notch his third Group 1 of the year having already taken the Diamond Jubilee and the July Cup this term.
He did meet defeat last time out in a hotly run race in France but his second to the world class Moonlight Cloud – who has subsequently won arguably the race of the season when smashing the likes of Dawn Approach and Declaration of War in the Jacques Le Marois – is hardly anything to be ashamed of.
Recently bought for a small fortune by Cheveley Park Stud for breeding purposes Lethal Force can enhance his stud value further here by winning yet another Group 1 sprint.
With old rival Society Rock sadly out of the race through injury it could be a horse from his own yard that gives Lethal Force most to think about here though.
Trainer Clive Cox has thus far this season kept his two star sprinters apart, but this time Reckless Abandon lines up against his stable mate and you may get a sense of deja vu here with me tipping Reckless Abandon in a big Haydock sprint, as I fancied him on his seasonal reappearance in the Temple Stakes when he went down a gallant third to Kingsgate Native and a horse that runs in the same colours as Lethal Force Swiss Spirit, both of whom will again take their chances here.
