The four-year-old has often proven a consistent performer, winning in handicap company already this term and fourth in the Achilles Stakes when last seen, but was still sent off a rather unfancied 12-1 in the hands of PJ McDonald.<\/p>\n
After the early pace fell away, it was the Lambourn raider who was finishing best of all, running on strongly to register a neck verdict over James Owen\u2019s Aspect Island and also secure Listed honours for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n
Redorange was made 25-1 from 33s by Paddy Power for the Nunthorpe Stakes back at York next month and Cox confirmed the Group One showpiece will come under consideration.<\/p>\n
Speaking from Newmarket the Lambourn trainer said: \u201cIt was wonderful and he\u2019s clearly talented. I\u2019m over the moon that unlike in his previous visit to York, he had a clearer run through here and in a higher grade of race.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s confirmed the promise he\u2019s been showing and I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve got him in the Nunthorpe and have that choice. I think he has the quality and speed you need for that race and hopefully this will give him a good bit of confidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see how he is and discuss it with the owner and he\u2019s just affirming the thoughts we\u2019ve always had that he would be a top-class sprinter. I would like to think he is on an upwards curve and that was really satisfying to see today.\u201d<\/p>\n
McDonald added: \u201cIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve been on him and to be fair Clive he was pretty confident the track would suit, so credit to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything went smoothly, I jumped and there was a bit of pace on my side and I got into a lovely rhythm and when I let him down to quicken up he\u2019s wanted to go to that side, but he was moving forward so I let him go and join them.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously he got competitive with the right horse from James Owen and had a nice little battle for a bit and just came out on top.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a sprinter he\u2019s very relaxed, very straightforward. Fingers crossed there\u2019s more big days in him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The four-year-old has often proven a consistent performer, winning in handicap company already this term and fourth in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-241092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
