Racing - Shadow can rise to Gold
10:45am Saturday 22nd September 2007 in
RISING Shadow has ticks in all the right boxes for the Ayr Gold Cup (3.30pm, the feature race of the afternoon at the Scottish track.
The Thirks-bred six-year-old needs a full-out gallop and easy ground to be at his best and he will have both of those in today's six-furlong showpiece.
He is pretty well epoxed and carries a fair bit of weight but the booking of jockey Seb Sanders suggests he is more highly-rated than his current tempting odds of 25-1 suggest.
Pipedreamer romped in at Goodwood and John Godsen's progressive sort can follow up at Newbury in the John Smith's Stakes (Heritage Handicap) at 3.10pm.
Kevin Burke's Philario notched a fast time and is worth a small investment to beat some hotpots at the same track.
