![]() He’s in good form and we think he’ll be in the mix.Ĭharlie Appleby, trainer of Mischief Magic He’s a previous course-and-distance winner so we’re hopeful of a good run before he probably heads to the horses-in-training sale. He’s a winner on the all-weather so we’re hopeful he’ll go well. This is plan B as we had planned to run him in the Bengough Stakes at Ascot on Saturday, but he needs soft ground so we’ve rerouted. Misty Grey (right): five of his six wins have come on the all-weather Credit: Edward Whitaker He was sixth under a big weight at Chelmsford two weeks ago and may build on that. He is 5-13 on the all-weather compared to 1-23 on turf. Misty Grey is the other principal threat. Trainer Hugo Palmer is 3-32 (nine per cent) with runners in that headgear for the first time since the start of last year, but his runners often go well fresh and Brad The Brief returns from a 59-day break. ![]() He returns here having been gelded and Charlie Appleby is 32-134 (24 per cent) with runners after that procedure in recent seasons, although Mischief Magic has to recapture his juvenile form.īrad The Brief heads the dangers and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Mischief Magic was beaten 16 lengths in the Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot on his seasonal reappearance in May and fared only a little better when seven and a half lengths behind Shaquille in the Royal Ascot Group 1 itself. That marked him as a potentially top-class juvenile and he went on to prove it when landing the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Keeneland, but the wheels have fallen off this year. Not many horses have the ability to come from second-last place to first up the relatively short straight at Kempton, but Mischief Magic did so and was two lengths clear at the line. ![]() If you were asked to name the most impressive performances at Kempton last season, it’s a good bet Mischief Magic’s victory in the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes would be among them.
