Jamie Spencer says the fast ground will really give Dwight D a chance

In the 2.05 at Newmarket, I’m on the unraced Gilgamesh. It’s his first time out for George Scott. I’ve ridden him at home a couple of times and he’s a nice, big horse for the future and is definitely one to keep an eye out for. I’m sure he will be green and babyish today but he’s one that will be a nice horse for George later on in the year.

I’m on Seafront in the 3.45 Fillies Sprint and she’s done nothing wrong. She’s got Group form after she was just beaten by A P O’Brien’s horse Roly Poly last time at the Curragh. Obviously Bletchley looks the one we all have to beat but with Seafront, what you see is what you get. She’s a tough and honest horse and her form is there. There’s nothing outstanding in the race so I think she has a good chance.

In the Falmouth Stakes, I ride Ashadihan and because she’s won a group race, it makes it very difficult to place a filly like her. She ran ok at Royal Ascot and we are hoping that the faster ground here will be a big help to her. It’s a very strong race and if she could get in the first three it would be a huge achievement, but we’ll just have to see. It’s the only available race there is for her, so it would be nice if she could get placed.

In the 4.45, I’ve switched to Dwight D from High Ground. Dwight D is getting ten or eleven pounds from High Ground, so there wasn’t much between them when they ran against each other at Chester. Dwight D has since been gelded and being able to race on fast ground will really help him out. He’s a nice, big horse and I think he’ll have a good chance. William Haggas has been very happy with him and it’s been the plan all along to give him a mid-season break, get him gelded, and get him back in handicaps.
