Cachet set to spearhead strong Boughey team at Ascot
Trainer has plenty of juvenile contenders at Royal meeting.
George Boughey may only be in his second season training, but he is heading to Royal Ascot next week with an enviable team. Boughey has excelled with his juveniles this season and has leading chances in most of the races confined to two-year-olds – but he is far from a one-trick pony. Oscula, Beautiful Sunshine and Navello will be well fancied for the Albany, Queen Mary and Norfolk respectively, but smart stayer Lostwithiel and recent Doncaster winner Air To Air will keep him interested in the handicaps. It is the Albany, over six furlongs for fillies, in which he holds his strongest hand, though, with five-and-a-half-length Newmarket victor Cachet likely to join recent Epsom winner Oscula.No claim? No problem!
Oscula hands Mark Crehan a well-deserved success in the opening race of the @CazooUK Derby Festival.#TheOaks pic.twitter.com/n5d6gnEiut— Epsom Downs Racecourse (@EpsomRacecourse) June 4, 2021
