Rose Blossom's York treble bid undecided

The Richard Fahey-trained filly won the first Group race of her career at York last week when landing the Summer Stakes on Knavesmire.

Owned by Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, that was her second victory at York this season, giving connections plenty of hope that she may make the jump up in class, although they are also well aware of the task she might face.

"The Nunthorpe is very much under consideration but Richard Fahey hasn't committed to that as yet. We are having a really good think about it," said Harry Herbert, racing manager to the owners.

"She has got an awful lot of speed but she is also a filly that likes to do things her way so that may or may not be the right move.

"We are carefully considering everything because having won a Group Three, showing such brilliant speed and also loving the track there are a few ticks in the right boxes, but it is now down to the trainer whether the Nunthorpe would be the right move.

"With the possibility of Starspangledbanner and Equiano running it is a big jump in class, so we'll have a mull over it and look at the other alternatives.

"It's taken a while to work her out, which is usually the case with brilliant animals, and she certainly falls into that category.

"Richard has known since day one she was brilliantly quick and the fastest he's trained but the challenge is eking it out of her on the track.

"It's taken a while but we've got there in the end. Hopefully, she might add a Group Two, or who knows a Group One before the season is out."

Jeremy Noseda is considering a trip to Australia for the Melbourne Cup with Sans Frontieres following his recent Newmarket victory.

The four-year-old bounced back to winning ways in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes to confirm the promise he had shown earlier in his career.

Last season, he was placed in both the Craven and the Dante but his campaign was cut short by injury.

"I was delighted with his performance. He started cantering again (yesterday) but future plans for him are still a little fluid," said Noseda

"I have spoken to Sir Robert Ogden (owner) and his racing manager Barry Simpson and we are looking at the Irish

St Leger and perhaps a tilt at the Melbourne Cup could be an end of season target."

Noseda had a mixed week at Headquarters with his stable star Fleeting Spirit finishing fifth in her defence of the July Cup while Railway Stakes winner Formosina disappointed in the Superlative Stakes.

"I was satisfied with her (Fleeting Spirit's) performance but unfortunately we felt that she did not let herself down on the fast ground," he said.

"We shall look at the Nunthorpe and the Sprint Cup at Haydock and hopefully we shall get an ease in conditions in one of those."

Harry Findlay will have to wait until later today to learn of his fate regarding the six-month warning off imposed by the British Horseracing Authority after a five-hour hearing before an independent appeal board panel in London yesterday.

The renowned owner and gambler received the punishment last month and is due to be out of the sport until December 10 after breaching the rules on the ability of an owner to lay his own horse.
