Requinto back with juveniles in Flying Childers Requinto will attempt to leave the disappointment of York behind him when returning to two-year-old company in Friday's Polypipe Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster. One of the speedier youngsters seen this term, David Wachman's colt, a son of his smart filly Damson, won a Listed race at Tipperary before the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood and will be meeting some familiar faces again on Town Moor. Wachman felt the soft ground was to blame for his performance against his elders in the Nunthorpe Stakes when beating only two home despite a healthy weight allowance. "He seems in good form, he's back against his own age now so we'll see what happens," said Wachman. "I think York is a funny place and it should be different at Doncaster. It looked genuine good ground on Wednesday and hopefully they won't get too much rain." Lilbourne Lad was well in front of Requinto when winning a Listed race at Naas in June and returned from Richard Hannon's Wiltshire stable to land the Railway Stakes. He has subsequently performed with credit in the Phoenix Stakes and when second to Caspar Netscher in the Gimcrack. "Lilbourne Lad has his 3lb penalty for winning the Railway, but he has done nothing wrong all season, and, though this is his first race at five furlongs since he won here on his debut, he is not short of speed, and he is as tough as teak," reported Hannon on his website. Burwaaz has not had much luck since taking a maiden at Leicester in late May, chasing home Requinto at Goodwood and Casper Netscher at York along with two other solid efforts in defeat. Dunlop told his website: "We only have a head to find with Lilbourne Lad on Gimcrack form, and, though we are held by Requinto on Molecomb running, he won't have to improve much to be a real contender." Charlie Hills is seeking his first Group victory since taking over from his legendary father Barry, who saddled Angels Will Fall to collect the Princess Margaret Stakes. She must bounce back from a weak effort in the Lowther Stakes at York, where she lost her unbeaten record. "She ran no sort of race at York. We think it might have been the ground and she probably saw too much daylight and was keen early on," Hills told At The Races. "Her work has been great since and I'm looking forward to dropping her back to five as well. "She's got a lot of speed and she's probably our best chance of the week." Vocational has been running consistently well all year in top juvenile races while the other danger is likely to be My Propeller, representing Peter Chapple-Hyam and QPR footballer Joey Barton. She appeared to appreciate a return to the minimum distance when coasting home in a Listed race at the Ebor meeting.
