Ascot trip poser for Prancealot

Sir Prancealot will have the option of races over five and six furlongs at Royal Ascot.

Sir Prancealot will have the option of races over five and six furlongs at Royal Ascot.

The Norfolk Stakes over the minimum distance and the Coventry over the longer trip are the races being considered for the Richard Hannon-trained colt.

After having made a winning debut at Bath, Sir Prancealot swept to a four-and-a-half-length victory in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown last Thursday.

“We’ll have a look at both the Norfolk and the Coventry for him,” said Tim Jones, racing manager to owner Andrew Tinkler.

“He’ll have the two entries and the sensible approach for his next run is to see what is likely to run in those two races and make a decision nearer the time.

“We have the options with him because he won over just short of six furlongs at Bath and showed plenty of speed to win over five at Sandown.

“Because of his pedigree you wouldn’t be worried about him getting the stiff six and further in time.

“He’s an interesting horse and an exciting one to have on the team.”
