Sangster considering Curragh option for Flight and Simmering

Ollie Sangster is toying with the idea of giving Flight or Simmering the chance of Classic redemption in the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas later this month.
The Manton inmates went down valiantly when filling the placings behind Charlie Appleby’s Desert Flower in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and, having come out of that contest well, their handler feels a trip to the Curragh on May 25 could suit either of his high-class fillies.

Sangster said: “They have both come out of it spot on and both have an entry at the Curragh for the Irish 1000 Guineas – they both won’t go but one of them might and we’ll just see how the next week or so goes.
“Simmering has nice form there at two and was second in the Moyglare, but the big, galloping nature of the track I think will suit Flight, so it would be a good fit for either of them, depending on what connections want to do and how the fillies are doing.”
The duo also have entries for the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, with that big-race assignment very much on the agenda for the coming months.
Sangster added: “Whether either of them go to the Curragh or not, the primary target at the moment would be the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. That is what we will be working back from, it’s just whether they have a run in the meantime.”
