'We're really excited' - Nick Bradley syndicate all set for fascinating June
The Nick Bradley Racing syndicate is gearing up for an exciting June, with the owners set to have a strong team at Royal Ascot and a possible Epsom contender.
Fev Rover finished tenth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Sunday for the syndicate and the owners could have another Classic chance at Epsom, with connections mulling over a decision to send Mystery Angel to the Cazoo Oaks on June 4.
The George Boughey-trained Pretty Polly Stakes winner could head to the track for a gallop on Monday before a decision is made on her participation in the Oaks, for which a £22,500 supplementary fee will need to be stumped up.
Nick Bradley fronts the syndicate that bears his name and said: "Mystery Angel could go to Epsom on Monday to have a look at the track. George and I have been discussing it over the last couple of days and if it went well she could be supplemented for the Oaks. If not, she'll go to Royal Ascot for the Ribblesdale Stakes."
The Ascot team could also feature Fev Rover and last year's Albany Stakes heroine Dandalla.
He added: "Dandalla was disappointing at Haydock on Friday, but the race fell apart. I'm sure she'll bounce back and she's pencilled in for the Commonwealth Cup.
"We're going to run our better two-year-olds over the next two weeks, but Mas Poder [fourth in the Marygate Stakes] will head straight for the Queen Mary. Things are beginning to hot up and it should ramp up a lot from here, we're really excited."
Crowds at Royal Ascot are set to be capped at 4,000 as part of the roadmap to easing Covid-19 restrictions, but Bradley is hoping all the owners involved in the syndicate will be able to watch their runners.
He said: "I just hope they use common sense. We were at York on Saturday and they've done very well to get all the owners of the horses we run there."
