Alseyoob seeking Sweet success for Ismail Mohammed
Newmarket maiden winner makes Group Three leap on July Course.
Ismail Mohammed is excited to step his course-and-distance maiden winner Alseyoob up to Group Three level for the Jewsons Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. The Newmarket handler knows a smart juvenile filly when he sees one, having trained Zain Claudette to win the Group Three Princess Margaret and the Group Two Lowther Stakes last season. Alseyoob, who carries the same colours as her stablemate, made every yard of the running on her July Course debut four weeks ago and Mohammed feels she is ready to step up in class. He said: “She came back after her maiden win well, we have worked her since and we are happy to go into a Group Three, especially as she won at this track and over the same distance.Ismail Mohammed looks to have another smart filly on his hands after Alseyoob made a winning debut pic.twitter.com/sgy9gNH2wz

“The filly that finished third in her maiden (Frankness) has won since, which is good, so I hope Alseyoob is our dream.” Comparing Alseyoob to Zain Claudette, Mohammed added: “Zain Claudette was a sprinter, whereas this filly can stay seven furlongs and go further. “They run over different distances, but this filly showed from when we started working her that she is quality, she is doing well at home and we hope she can be our champion two-year-old.” On form the pair that set the standard are Charlie and Mark Johnston’s Lakota Sioux and the Richard Spencer-trained Ivory Madonna, both of whom were placed at Royal Ascot.
