Richard Hannon appears to hold the key to yet another two-year-old race as he saddles both Cape To Rio and Bahceli in the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury on Friday.
Hannon has dominated the juvenile events this season and the pair set a stiff standard, with Ryan Moore's mount Cape To Rio winning his first two and then finishing a close third in the National Stakes at Sandown while Bahceli (Pat Dobbs) is unbeaten in two starts at Pontefract and York.
Hannon told www.richardhannonracing.tv: "Cape To Rio is a decent horse and when he finished third in the National Stakes at Sandown it looked as if he wanted this sixth furlong, while Bahceli has won both his races in good style and has thrived for a break since the York May meeting."
He added: "He has been so fresh this past week and is screaming for another race, and he deserves this step up in grade."
