Banimpire all set for Ribblesdale

Jim Bolger dismissed the busy schedule of Banimpire being a concern ahead of the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday.

The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor has already run six times this year and four successes suggest her trainer has been right to keep her on the go.

She turns out again just four days after landing the Noblesse Stakes at Cork, but Bolger believes his charge thrives on racing.

"She's done very well and the thing with her is that the races have been coming at a time that suits her," Bolger told At The Races.

"She's a big, burly filly and it is extremely difficult to keep the weight off her because she doesn't do much at home.

"So as long as we can get a sequence with her, we'll chase it.

"We were very happy with her run in the (1,000) Guineas over a trip that was a little bit short for her."

Banimpire's jockey, Kevin Manning, added: "She's improved with all her runs and she's very straightforward.

"You can ride her any way you want."
