Newmarket Race 2

Tattersalls Online Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2)

Prize Money: $230,627

The unbeaten FIRST LAW (2) made a winning debut over 1600m at Sandown prior to a 0.75L victory on heavy ground contesting the 1600m Listed Ascendant Stakes at Haydock three weeks ago. Top chance. BURNING UP (1) is another who has won twice after a pair of Haydock victories following a 1.25L novice success over this trip three weeks ago. Shortlist upped in level. QUEST FOR STARS (5) looks an exciting prospect after winning his first three outings including the 1600m Listed Stonehenge Stakes at Salisbury before a 7L third attempting the 1800m G1 Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown (Ireland) a fortnight ago. Makes appeal. The G2 Vintage Stakes runner-up HAFFNER (3) can feature.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; won by 2 len at Doncaster on August 15 over 1400m defeating Noble Prince with 60.5kg at $4. Second-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Leicester on September 8 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Arabian Blue with 61kg at $2.80. Would have to improve further upped in grade.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 9 in the G1 Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown on September 12 over 1810m, 7 len behind Darkness Falls carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. The run before that won by a neck in the LR Stonehenge Stakes at Salisbury on August 12 over 1600m defeating Scommessa Sicura carrying 58.5kg at $3.80. Has been racing well. Big chance.

Most recently 2nd in a small field in the LR Ascendant Stakes at Haydock Park on September 5 over 1600m, in the wet; 0.8 len behind First Law with 59kg at $2.90. The run before that 3rd in a small field in the LR Stonehenge Stakes at Salisbury on August 12 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Quest For Stars carrying 58.5kg at $15. Looks one to note.
