Evie warms up for Newbury
by Tony Elves RED EVIE will be looking to Newbury to provide her with a fill up to her already illustrious career when she takes her chance in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes on August 18 and the Michael Bell-trained filly continued her preparation on the watered gallop on Racecourse Side on Wednesday morning. Her head defeat of Ramonti in the Lockinge Stakes is looking good now and, although she displayed her familiar workmanlike tendencies under Georgina Bell, connections will be hoping she can attain that level of form once more. Northumberland Plate winner Juniper Girl was given a solo spin up the same stretch as the Fitzroy House handler contemplates either the Prix Kergorlay at Deauville on August 19 or the Group 2 Lonsdale Stakes at York two later. Regime was shaded on his recent visit to France but the Group 2 PrixGuillame d'Ornano could well be his next appointment after a promising performance in company with Metaphoric. Dave Simcock has his team in good shape and Hazard County looked in good shaped ahead of a 7f handicap at Sandown when moving well in company with Postage Stamp. Henry Cecil was on Al Bahathri Polytrack with his workers where Passage Of Time (Ted Durcan) posted her intentions with a solid piece of work in company with Totesport Ebor entries Tranquil Tiger and Templestern. She has the option of the Juddmonte International or Yorkshire Oaks with the first-named preferred at present. Rattan (Jimmy Quinn) is coming along nicely and showed plenty of encouragement for the future in company with Kandahar Run and Tomintoul Flyer but there was precious little between a likeable trio. Multidimensional looks to be on target for his return next month and stretched out well in a solo spin and, after a changeover, both Unnefer and Timetable, and Winter Bloom and Burn The Breeze worked well within themselves. John Gosden has plenty of options in mind for Lucarno who worked to the trainer's satisfaction on the Al Bahathri Polytrack. One to note Passage Of Time (H Cecil) - Coming along nicely as York approaches.

LUCARNO, who heads to York for the Great Voltigeur Stakes on Tuesday, looked in great nick under Jimmy Fortune as he did some preparatory work on the Limekilns round gallop on Wednesday morning. The overnight and early morning rain helped produce near perfect ground and the Dynaformer colt came through nicely from off the pace to join up with his two companions. Pipedreamer had shown he was back to his best when winning at Goodwood and he looked in good order on the trial ground in company with Transcend. Stronghold gets better with every gallop and he looked the part under Rab Havlin when working well with Imperial Star. Costume heads off to America next month but she looked in great shape in company with Asperity. Legislation could be in action in the Acomb Stakes next week and he looked in good form in his spin when working alongside the likeable Legal Eagle (David Kinsella). Sir Michael Stoute was another with some of his York possibles on the round gallop and Distinction (Maxine Cowdrey) caught the eye when moving strongly at the finish of his gallop with Arabian Gulf and Great Hawk. Winter Sunshine continues to thrive and she moved well in her spin with Dance Of Light. Gold Hush didn't quite come up to expectations at Goodwood last time but there will be other days for her and she sparkled in her spin with Allegretto. On the trial ground, Cabinet gave the impression he is another going the right way when leading up from Sugar Ray and Lang Shining. Luca Cumani was in action on the watered gallop on Racecourse Side where Speed Gifted (Jamie Spencer) caught the eye in his group and Ebor favourite Purple Moon was another to show his wellbeing in his workout. Michael Bell is looking to Red Evie to get her season back on track in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury on Saturday and she prepared for that Group 2 contest, in which she carries a 4lb penalty, in company with Eddie Jock. Regime was another from Fitzroy House to show up well with Metaphoric in his gallop. Henry Cecil was on the peat moss with Passage Of Time (Ted Durcan) and, although York comes too soon, she showed that she is heading in the right direction when going clear of her companion. Multidimensional is another on the comeback trail and he looked in good form when moving well for Victor Deering in his spin with one other. Over on the Al Bahathri Polytrack, it was time for Cecil's Ebor hope Tranquil Tiger (Tom Queally) to perform and he looked in great shape as he went through the gears in company with Brisk Breeze (Jimmy Quinn). One To Note Distinction (Sir Michael Stoute) Living up to his name in hiswork and his next engagement is eagerly awaited

What do you think about Lucarno?
I'm convinced he will be much better over ten furlongs but they still decide to run him over a trip, which has looked too far for him. I know you rate the horse a lot (like me), i'm starting to get really annoyed with them still campaigning him over twelve furlongs.

yeah, at Ascot, 12f looked to be just strecthing his stamina.. I think he'll be decent around this distance but may have to go abroad like Youmzain last year to get a G1 this season!! or then again he may be a champion stakes type later on.
