Portland Runners . . .
Today we have two runners at the Doncaster St Leger meeting . . . Both our Stewards Cup winner, INTRINSIC and our Shergar Cup Dash winner, GOLDREAM go head to head in the Portland Handicap Stakes at 2.40pm today over 5.5f . . . INTRINSIC is a wonderful looking son of Oasis Dream, who seems to be going from strength to strength as he gains in age and experience. He was an impressive winner at Glorious Goodwood at the beginning of August. He has his usual Jockey back on board today – Richard Hughes for Malih Al Basti . . . GOLDREAM is another son of Oasis Dream and he too is having a fantastic season, having already picked up two nice prizes in a 6f handicap at Newmarket on Guineas weekend and also the 5f, Shergar Cup Dash last month. He has Andrea Atzeni back in the saddle for Mr J Sargeant and Mrs J Morley . . .
We were delighted with JUST US TWO’s performance yesterday afternoon in the 5f Maiden at Sandown Park. He looked the winner until 50 yards from the line when he was just pipped to the post by another coming off the pace. He has improved a huge amount from his first start four weeks previously. We will look forward to seeing him back in action in a few weeks, when hopefully it will not be long before he is cracking his maiden . . .
