Martyn Meade, who last month transferred his string from Newmarket to the historic Manton Estate (which he purchased last year), has pencilled in Chester's May Festival as a possible starting point for his stable star Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). “He's going along well,” the trainer said of the Group 2 winner who was last seen finishing third to Decorated Knight (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown last September. “The Prince of Wales's is his main target, but I want to run him before then. I think we'll miss the [G1] Prix Ganay and I'm tending to think he might run him in the Huxley Stakes at Chester – that might be a good prep race,” he added.
