Qushchi and Besito in Listed action

QUSHCHI and Besito will both represent Phantom House in Listed races later this week.

The former is a likely starter in the 1m5f Eden Stakes at Lingfield on Thursday when she will tackle the all-weather for the first time.

The daughter of Encosta de Lago, who now runs in the colours of Dr Jim Walker, has won twice this season including in a handicap at Newmarket last time when she had many of Thursday’s rivals behind her.

William said: “I’m really looking forward to running Qushchi at Lingfield. She seems in very good form at home and looks fantastic. It is her first time on polytrack but I don’t think this should be a problem and hopefully it is a good opportunity for her to get some ‘black type.’”

Heatherbird also runs at Lingfield on Thursday.

Besito is being targeted at the Bosra Sham Fillies’ Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.

A winner at the July Course in August, Besito has been unlucky on her last two starts and William is hoping she can bounce back.

He said: “Things haven’t gone her way at all the last twice but I’d like to think that if she reproduced her July Course form then she would have a chance.”

On the same card William is looking to introduce both Beaufort Twelve and Lothian Sky in the 7f maiden.

STIRLING Bridge, Bouggatti and Berlusca will all go through the ring tomorrow at the Horses In Training Sale at Tattersalls.

William said: “Stirling Bridge is a solid son of Kyllachy who has won twice for us. Bouggatti is also a winner who looks an ideal dual-purpose horse for some one.

“Berlusca is now a winner having got his head in front at Wolverhampton and he is another sound, solid horse who should do a job for some one.”
