Moorhouse Chasing Nunthorpe Spoils Bryan Smart hopes owner Ron Hull's decision to supplement Moorhouse Lad for the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes is rewarded at York on Thursday.Connections decided to fork out £22,000 to put the former handicapper in the Group One sprint following his emphatic victory under Ryan Moore in the Group Three Audi Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.'After he won at Goodwood, Ryan asked if he was in the Nunthorpe and we said he wasn't so we had to supplement him. The owner was very pleased to do so and we'll have a go.'The horse deserves to be there. He's done very well since we've had him. He started off on 80 and now he's rated 111, so that's how well he's done for us this year.'The Thirsk-based handler is also satisfied with Moorhouse Lad's draw in stall four.'There should be plenty of speed with Celtic Mill in the next stall. I'm over the moon with our horse and couldn't be more pleased,' he added.(C) PA Sport
