Trainer Richard Hannon is considering the May 27 G1 Irish 1000 Guineas and the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot on June 22 as possible options for Classic victor Billesdon Brook (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}). Fourth in the G3 Nell Gwyn S., the chestnut landed the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday off of odds of 66-1.
“The French Guineas was another option, but there is only one English Guineas,” Hannon said on www.richardhannonracing.co.uk. “She was very impressive in the last furlong as she really appreciated that trip. I was thinking that back in the days of Night Of Thunder (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Sky Lantern (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}), they both got beat in their respective trials and managed to bag a Classic. We will need to come up with a plan now, obviously Ireland and Ascot are very high on the list.”
