BRENTFORD LOOKS A LEADINGHOPE FOR HUGHES There were plenty of well-bred juveniles on show at Newmarket onWednesday - at a meeting dubbed ‘two-year-old day’- but the horse who stole the show was the Richard Hughes-trained Brentford Hope, who produced a performance of rare merit

in achieving a Timeform rating of 100p on debut. Only seven other juveniles in Britain or Ireland this season have achieved a rating of 100+ on debut, putting Brentford Hope - who is a top price of 40/1 for the Investec Derby - in a select bracket of horses.

BRENTFORD HOPE made a big impression when winning a Newmarket maiden by 5 lengths for Richard Hughes in the colours of Sean & Bernardine Mulryan

EVEN SO won a maiden at Gowran in great style for Ger Lyons and the Coolmore partners “A taking performance from the winner in a race probably of some depth.” RACING P O ST
