Ascot winner 'Next Ambition' For Harrington Jessica Harrington is busy formulating her team for Royal Ascot as she hopes to achieve her "next ambition" of saddling a winner at the summer feature. Harrington is targeting juvenile glory with Albany Stakes hopeful Alpha Centauri and Coventry Stakes-bound Brother Bear while Torcedor is in the mix for the Gold Cup. Alpha Centauri has won twice at Naas this season and while Harrington would not risk her on unsuitable ground, the recent wet spell has allayed those fears for now. She told the Irish Times: "The one thing I didn't want for her was that real Ascot firm. But the weather looks so broken over there at the moment that it shouldn't be a problem. "Alpha Centauri will run in the Albany and Whitefountainfairy could run in that too or she might wait for the Chesham on the Saturday. I haven't decided yet. But Brother Bear will go for the Coventry." Another Harrington hopeful could be Drumfad Bay who is on course to take her chance in the Sandringham Handicap. While Harrington has won some of the biggest prizes in jumps racing, including the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March with Sizing John, the handler has also been doing well on the level this season and admits an Ascot winner is now in her sights. She added: "A Royal Ascot winner is the next ambition. I've had only a couple of runners there in the past but I'd like a winner."
