KALLISHA can claim a valuable Listed success in the Lord Weinstock Memorial Stakes, the feature event at Newbury.

Trained by Ralph Beckett, Kallisha won a Sandown maiden in good style in April, shrugging off her inexperience to come home half a length in front on her racecourse debut.

That effort was enough to prompt Beckett to raise his sights for the Lingfield Oaks Trial, although she had to settle for fourth behind stablemate Honor Bound.

That filly hardly franked the form with a lacklustre display in the main event at Epsom, where third-placed Momentus was also well beaten, but Kallisha still looks a handy type.

She deserves plenty of credit as she did not enjoy an ideal run but still stayed on and is open to plenty of improvement, particularly as she drops back ever so slightly in trip again.

Oh Star has hit the bar twice, but her turn can come in the first division of the Crossland Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.

A daughter of 1,000 Guineas winner Sleepytime, Oh Star showed ability when a narrow second first time out last term, while she again lost out by just two necks on her return at Kempton last month.

Oh Star clearly has potential and it will be disappointing if she cannot make it third time lucky for John Gosden in this 10-furlong event.

Emerald Swell hails from the family of Spectrum and Dancing Bloom amongst others and is worth an interest as she makes her racecourse bow in division two of the maiden.

This Dalakhani filly looks a typical Ballymacoll Stud type in that she has not been hurried along and only starts her racing career at this mid-point of the season.

Run With Pride has certainly fallen down the pecking order since being sold for 200,000 guineas at Tattersalls in 2011, failing to make the track for Sir Michael Stoute before eventually going through the ring again last August.

Derek Shaw snapped up the Invincible Spirit gelding for just £7,500 and his faith has paid dividends as Run With Pride made a successful start in a Doncaster maiden last month.

Shaw stepped him up into a competitive handicap at Haydock next time and he was far from disgraced in finishing a three-length sixth behind the experienced Bear Behind.

That was a big ask for Run With Pride but he acquitted himself well and the handicapper has left him alone on a mark of 80, which looks workable in the ABG Law Classic Handicap at Nottingham.

A July Cup entry will surely come to nothing, but it is perhaps a good indication of the esteem in which he is held.

Heho can give Stoute a win in the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce Handicap at Yarmouth.

She disappointed as favourite at Nottingham last time when a steady pace really did not play to her strengths and she could not find a change of gear in the closing stages.

Stoute drops back to just over a mile from ten furlongs last time, so perhaps he believes she will shape better over a shorter trip.

Despot shoots for a hat-trick in the For Friendly Service - Silk Mill Handicap at Haydock.

He could not get his head in front in three starts on turf last year but has since triumphed twice on the all-weather, winning by six lengths on the first occasion before following up last month by a more conservative length and a quarter.

n Dubai Gold Cup winner Certarach will not run in the Ascot Gold Cup next week.

Trainer Mick Halford would prefer to give his six-year-old, who caused a 33-1 surprise at Meydan, a bit more time before his return to action.

While a return to Dubai is on the cards, Halford will also consider a tilt at the Melbourne Cup.

“I won’t be sending him to Ascot,” said Halford. “His first run back will be in the Curragh Cup on June 29, just so he has a couple more weeks to get over it.

“He’s had a nice break and I just think it will benefit him to have a couple more weeks of work than to run at Ascot.”
