"Two winners and a third from three runners is brilliant," said Cheveley Park's Richard Thompson. "It's hard to put it into words and they're nice horses for the future, too. The day has been excellent."

Update on Threat

Richard Hannon is looking towards next months Craven for the son of Footstepsinthesand before heading to Newmarket for the 2000 guineas.

An encouraging 2 year campaign included 2 Group 2 wins in the Gimcrack at York and Champagne Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse.

When questioned by irishracing.com the Marlborough handler had this to say

“Physically he has grown up and mentally he has grown up, which he needed to do because he got a little bit restless at times last year. A lot of the good two-year-old form revolves around him.

“As he has already been to Newmarket Racecourses - The Home of Horseracing and won his maiden there and handled it, we might go for the Craven, but nothing is set in stone yet.”

Questions will be asked about the step up in trip to 1m.

“He is by Footstepsinthesand, who was a miler, and we are hopeful he will get the mile — and we think he will.

“He is very relaxed, which gives him every chance of getting the trip.

"Charlie's horse Pinatubo will be a hard horse to beat in the Guineas, but you can’t run away from one horse — and Threat is in very good nick.”
