Lahaleeb in good shape ahead of 1,000 Guineas

Thoroughbred trainer, Mick Channon, is upbeat about his prospects of achieving success in Sunday’s 1,000 Guineas after watching Lahaleeb complete her training at West Ilsley.

Lahaleeb, who most recently won at the Dubai Duty Free Stakes, performed well in training with stablemate Please Sing despite her famous aversion to training work.

Channon’s entry will be one of the most experienced fillies on the park come Sunday, boasting 10 starts, four of which have ended in a win.

“I think it looks a good Guineas,” Channon said on his website. “John Gosden’s filly is the yardstick and the Cheveley Park form with Rae Guest’s filly  is solid, but we’ve beaten Alan Bailey’s filly and so the form is in the book.”

“We’re a high-class filly and have got to go and do it. A lot of my fillies have improved from two to three over the years and she’s one of them.”

Priced 14/1 by William Hill, Lahaleeb looks like an excellent each way betting option for the 1,000 Guineas on Sunday.
