Big Run Expected From Channon Newcomer

Nahoodh is not expected to be let down by inexperience when she makes her racecourse debut in the Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket tomorrow, according to owner Jaber Abdullah's racing manager Bruce Raymond.

The Mick Channon-trained juvenile will clash with Ger Lyons' Elletelle and and Aidan O'Brien's You'resothrilling in the Group Two contest, but her recent homework with Nijoom Dubai, who beat O'Brien's representative at Royal Ascot, suggests a big run is on the cards.

Raymond said: 'She has been working very well and is one of Mick's better fillies.

'She is in at the deep end but we think she is up to it.

'I believe she has been working with Nijoom Dubai, and she has good form with the Irish filly (You'resothrilling), so it points to a good run.

'She hasn't ran before so we don't know what ground she prefers, but it should be beautiful ground at Newmarket.'

You'resothrilling is O'Brien's sole runner in the six-furlong event after her solid second in the Albany Stakes, where she met trouble in running.

Her task has been made slightly easier following the withdrawal of Janina, who was taken out with a vet's certificate to leave a field of 14 to face the starter.

Francesca D'Gorgio represents last year's winning connections of trainer Jeremy Noseda, jockey Frankie Dettori and owner Sir Robert Ogden.

The trio sent out Sander Camillo to strike 12 months ago and rely this time on the Queen Mary fourth, with the daughter of Proud Citizen sporting a visor for the first time.

Her trainer told www.jeremynoseda.com: 'She has come forward since her Royal Ascot run and we feel that the visor will help her race that little bit more professionally.

'The step up to six furlongs will suit her better than the five at Royal Ascot did and she is ready to put up a good run.'

Lyons also expects the step back up in trip to suit his Queen Mary winner Elletelle, who will again team up with Johnny Murtagh.

Eat Pie and Green Oasis both take a jump in class having won their sole starts on the all-weather while Brian Meehan, successful two years ago with Donna Blini, is represented by Waveline.
