Newcastle option for Danzeno
Monday 16 May 2016 09:30, UK
Danzeno could run in the Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle next month as preparation for the Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
The five-year-old won the Group Three Chipchase in 2014 and also finished third in last year's renewal - though this season's race will be on Tapeta rather than turf.
Danzeno, who does not hold any entries at Royal Ascot, ended last season finishing third in the British Champion Sprint Stakes at Ascot, and filled the same position upon his return to action in the Duke of York Stakes last week.
Trainer Mick Appleby said: "We have not put him in at Ascot so the aim is the July Cup.
"We might go to the Chipchase Stakes on the all-weather at Newcastle as it is about the only race that fits in before.
"Although he has not run on the all-weather before I can't see why he wouldn't be fine on it."
