Diligent Harry hunting All-Weather Championships crown
Three-year-old goes for gold at Lingfield.
Diligent Harry bids to make amends for a narrow defeat over the course and distance when he returns to Lingfield for the Ladbrokes 3 Year Old All-Weather Championships Conditions Stakes on Friday. A slow start put the Clive Cox-trained colt on the back foot and the race did not go to plan after that. Despite finishing strongly, Diligent Harry could not quite peg back Rohaan and was beaten a short head. He had been up with the pace when winning his only two previous starts at Wolverhampton and Kempton. The latter race was over the minimum trip, but Cox believes six furlongs is his optimum at present. “He’s got a lot of potential and he’s still very much learning his job, but because of that he’s entitled to find more progress, I think,” said the Lambourn trainer.“He’s very quick, we did drop him back to five furlongs for his second outing, but that was more because the opportunity arose than being a necessity. “I think six furlongs is where we want to be with him at the moment.” Victory Heights staked his claim with victory at Wolverhampton when four of these rivals – Mighty Gurkha, Yazaman, Zamaani and Bakersboy – finished directly behind him in second to fifth places respectively. Trainer James Tate is hoping the son of Siyouni can overcome a wide draw.
