Caradak looks the one to beat in the Lillian Summers Memorial Conditions Stakes at Newbury today. Unraced as a two-year-old, he scored twice at three when trained in Ireland by John Oxx.
Last year's campaign was even more impressive and he ran up a midsummer hattrick - starting with a Listed win over a mile at the Curragh followed by Group Three successes over seven furlongs at the Curragh and a mile at Leopardstown.
His finest hour came on his final outing of the season in October when, on ground too soft for him, he ran Court Masterpiece to a head in the seven-furlong Group One P rix de la Foret at Longchamp.
His exploits attracted the attention of Godolphin as they launched their end-ofseason buying spree.
The five-year-old was subsequently transferred across the Irish Sea to the care of Saeed bin Suroor at Newmarket and is taken to make a winning debut in the famous blue colours.
James Fanshawe's runners remain in fine form and a return to winning ways looks imminent for Bracklinn, Handicap at Newbury. The lightly-raced daughter of Deploy made a winning race-course debut on the polytrack at Wolverhampton last June and scored for the first time on turf when successful over one mile, two furlongs at Brighton in August.
She was making only her sixth career start when finishing third on her seasonal reappearance at Windsor, where she was beaten only a length, and races off the same mark.
With Jamie Spencer doing the steering, she looks set for a return to the winner's enclosure.
