Sionara to season with fully-packed features at Ngong

Racing is infectious. No pundits will be more immersed in the moment than at Ngong this afternoon, where, somewhat appropriately, every feature is being proclaimed at once.

The Sir Ali Bin Salim Stakes, is a head-string puller, with Arlington, Bedford and Beeston, all in with a howl. Neither The Gambler, nor Maria, have given a hint at being more than sprinters, but then seismic intrusions are what the game is all about.

Saint Moritz will acquit himself with honour when he tackles another 2,400m in the Jockey Club George Drew Challenge. The only ever blip was when Honeybell ran Moritzy off his feet during the Derby.

Can't see that happening now, as he has already vanquished this string of assailants. Awards will be handed out at our traditional ceremony, immediately after the Nairac Gold Circle Trophy, where Saint Moritz scoops mostly everything before engaging in Stud duties.
