Oisin Murphy is looking forward to getting the leg up on Windlord again as he looks ahead to some big rides at Sandown on Friday.
The Juddmonte-owned son of Dubawi ran four times at two for Andrew Balding, culminating in a third-place finish in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh where he was narrowly beaten by two subsequent Group 1 winners in Hotazhell and Tennessee Stud.
Murphy told sportinglife.com in his YouTube preview (watch full video below): “His form from last year is very strong, particularly that race at the Curragh. I think he's been training nicely, I haven't actually sat on him [this spring].
“He's not an over big horse, but he's bred to get better from two to three and it looks like a good opportunity for him. He's going to be one of the fancied horses at the top of the market.
“Yeah [on pedigree he should enjoy stepping up in trip], and also the racing style he showed at York and at the Curragh. It appeared like he wanted to go a mile and a quarter and he wasn't over raced last year. He's had a nice break. He looks very well in his skin.”
