Trainer Marcus Tregoning reported Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) in fine fettle the morning after his impressive display in the G3 Greenham S. at Newbury on Saturday. Having rounded off his juvenile campaign with a surprise success in the G3 Horris Hill S. at the Berkshire venue, the Showcasing colt confirmed there was absolutely no fluke about that victory with an authoritative display on his seasonal reappearance.
Tregoning said, “He's absolutely fine this morning and we're very happy with him. Whether he turns up in the Guineas or not, there has to be a question mark. It could be a wide open race or it might not be. We are very happy with our horse–he looks progressive–and I think he probably will run in the Guineas, but we've still got three weeks to go.”
The Shadwell-owned colt will be stepping up to a mile for the first time in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas if he lines up on May 4.
“I think he'll give himself a chance to stay the mile as he settles so well,” said Tregoning, who won the G1 Epsom Derby with Sir Percy (GB) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}). “Hopefully, off a strong pace, he'll be fine. He does have a lot of speed, but you've got to have speed to win a Guineas.”
