WEIGHT FAVOURS RADIOHEAD |
RADIOHEAD CAN WIN THE NUNTHORPE STAKES |
A rather disappointing field is gathered for the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes. There is |
distinct lack of quality 5 furlong horses in the race and the weight advantage given to the |
two year olds can prove the difference. This was the case two years ago when today's |
race favourite Kingsgate Native won this race. |

TWO YEAR OLDS CARRY MUCH LESS WEIGHT IN THIS RACE AND THIS WILL PROVE CRUCIAL |
|

Kingsgate Native looked very impressive when landing the Audi Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Quite simply he |
destroyed the field that day and at his best the horse will be tough to beat. Radiohead has less credentials as the |
race favourite but as a two year he will carrying much less weight. Radiohead did win the Norfolk Stakes at Royal |
Ascot despite being hampered approaching the final furlong. |

RADIOHEAD WON THE NORFOLK STAKES AT ROYAL ASCOT DESPITE BEING HAMPERED |
|
| |
Doubters will argue that race was lacking in Group 2 quality but a wins a win and Radiohead has been very popular |
in the betting this morning. Another horse that may have a say is Armour Propre. A convincing win at the Palace |
House Stakes at Newmarket, where he thrashed both Ho Ho Ho and Borderlescott, was followed by a disappointing |
appearance at Ascot. He has won 4 of his 6 starts and is an improving sprinter but the weight may hold him back. |
