Glen Shiel on course for Betfair Sprint Cup

Glen Shiel is firmly on course for Saturday’s Group 1
Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Hambleton Racing’s six-year-old has thrived since dropped to
sprinting this year, winning three of his last four starts, most recently in
the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint at the Curragh.

The six-furlong event will be the gelding’s first crack at
the top level and trainer Archie Watson is looking forward to the run “He came
out of his Curragh win really well and I’m delighted with him at home. He’s a
Group winner now so deserves to take his chance in these Group 1 sprints. The
fact he goes on any ground is a big help with the weather at the moment.”

Hambleton Racing’s Cosmo Charlton reports Glen Shiel’s
owners can’t wait for the run “Glen’s owners are counting down the days to Saturday’s
race. To compete in these big races with a horse that didn’t cost a fortune is
very much the horse racing syndicate blueprint. He’s a fantastic horse who we
may not have seen the best of yet.”
