Carnival options being considered

Options are being considered for the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Carnival Dancer, who has a choice of engagements this weekend should connections decide to step the impressive York maiden winner up to Listed company.

The three-year-old holds an entry in the Hitchins Criterion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday, as well as the Royal Navy `On The House` Stakes at Goodwood the following day.

A son of Sadler`s Wells, he powered right away from his rivals on the Knavesmire to win in the style of a potentially smart colt.

'The options are open at the moment,' said John Marsh of owners Cheveley Park Stud today. 'At this moment in time I`m not sure where he is going. His trainer is looking for his next race but I don`t know which one it will be yet.

'I don`t how good the race at York was but, fingers crossed, he looks all right.'
