Options open for McCreery’s Skydance Willie McCreery is weighing up options for Skydance following a fine effort at Ascot recently. The Night Of Thunder filly picked up more black-type when third in the Group 3 Valiant Stakes behind Kon Tiki ten days ago. She had also been runner-up at the same level as a juvenile and was also placed in Group 2 company, in the Airlie Stud Stakes. Connections are now exploring options in a bid to make the breakthrough at stakes level. “She came out of the race well,” said McCreery. “We’re looking at a couple of Group 3s for her, one in France and one here. We’re not sure yet. “She’s also in a good sales race in France, which is worth a lot of money. “I’m trying to convince Kieran (Lalor — Racing Manager for Al Shira’aa) to go there but I don’t know what will happen.”
