Fev Rover camp eye choice of Group One targets
Irish Guineas and ParisLongchamp both in mix.
Fev Rover has either the Irish 1,000 Guineas or the Prix Saint-Alary on her agenda after her big run at Newmarket. Richard Fahey’s filly outran odds of 22-1 to be beaten only a length and a quarter into third by Mother Earth in Sunday’s 1000 Guineas. Taking a keen hold from the stalls, Fev Rover disputed the lead for the first five furlongs before crossing the line a neck behind runner-up Saffron Beach.“Fev Rover ran a great race,” he said. “We decided we wanted to be handy, because there didn’t look to be much pace in the race. “She was a little keen early doors, but we had her where we wanted her. “She looked like she was going to drop away, but then she picked up out of the dip and ran really well.” The daughter of Gutaifan had previously enjoyed both Group and Listed successes, having gained black type form in Sandown’s Star Stakes last season before taking the Prix du Calvados at Deauville. Bradley has another tilt at Group One glory pencilled in this month, with both the Irish Classic at the Curragh and ParisLongchamp’s Prix Saint-Alary under consideration.
