Quddwah heading for Queen Anne date
Three career visits to the Berkshire track have resulted in two wins and a creditable fifth in the QEII on Champions Day and he returned to action with a pleasing success at ParisLongchamp. 'Quddwah is good and has come out of it very well. He won what was a hot Listed race well and that should put him spot on for Royal Ascot,' said Ed Crisford. 'We're planning to go to the Queen Anne at Ascot. It's going to be a red-hot race, but he deserves to be in it and has some good course form – he won the Summer Mile at the track well last year and ran well enough in the QEII at the end of last year at Ascot. 'That day he was dropped out and sat last and came with a run, but it was all too late and he finished fifth. This year he's going to be a bit wiser to that top-level racing having experienced that and deserves his chance to run in a race like the Queen Anne.' Crisford also had news of smart filly Arabian Dusk, who was a Group Two winner as a juvenile and finished third to Lake Victoria in the Cheveley Park Stakes. She is also bound for the Royal meeting. She appears to be coming nicely to the boil this year and was most recently seen missing out by a short head to Symbol Of Honour in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock. 'She's come out of Haydock superbly well and, all being well, will head to the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot,' added Crisford. 'The fillies' programme is never ideal at this time of year and you do find yourself running against colts, but she is showing up well against them and she's a high-quality sprinter. 'A straight, stiff six (furlongs) at Ascot is probably exactly what she wants. It's going to be a hot race, but if she can run to the best she can do, I think she will be right in the mix.'
