Fresh from celebrating his first Royal Ascot winner in only his second season training, Richard Spencer reports his G2 Coventry S. hero Rajasinghe (Ire) (Choisir {Aus}) in fine fettle following his victory last Tuesday. “There's not many will do what he's done. Since he came back, he's ate, slept and put on weight. He's phenomenal. He's come out of the race fantastic,” said the Newmarket trainer. Spencer is in no hurry to decide on the next port of call for the unbeaten juvenile and will monitor the colt's training over the next week before narrowing down a plan. “We're going to enter him in multiple races and we'll take a view over the next week to 10 days as to where we go with him. We've got the July meeting at Newmarket on our radar. There's obviously Goodwood and we've been talking of going to Deauville for the [G1] Prix Morny on August 20.” Rajasinghe, an £85,000 yearling purchase at Goffs UK last August was an impressive debut winner at Newcastle in May and Spencer also faces a quandary as to whether to get another run into him before the abovementioned targets. “It's eight weeks between the Coventry and then, so whether we get a run into him between now and then could be an option. The horse will tell us when he's ready to run and we'll take it day by day,” he added.
