Coventry Stakes hero Hellvelyn is primed for a big run in what promises to be a thrilling renewal of the Group One £170,000 Shadwell Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket on Friday, September 29, 2006.
The Bryan Smart-trained two-year-old won his first three starts, including the Royal Ascot Group Two contest over six furlongs in June, before tasting his only defeat when a length and three quarters second to Holy Roman Emperor in the Group One Independent Waterford Wedgewood Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh on August 13, with Group One winner Miss Beatrix in third.
Smart revealed today: "I couldn't be more pleased with him and he's going to Newmarket in good order. I'm hoping for a big run in what looks to be a very competitive race. He deserves to be there and he owes us nothing.
"I was obviously a bit disappointed he got beat last time but, if anything, I think my horse was a little bit free that day and the form is solid."
The North Yorkshire handler is keeping his options open regarding the future with the Sheikh Rashid-owned son of Ishiguru.
Smart reported: "He's in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes so that's a possibility, but obviously we'll have to discuss with Sheikh Rashid what happens after this race. The horse has done it on all sorts of ground so I wouldn't be concerned on that score."
The prestigious six-furlong contest has attracted a typically high-class field of six, which includes the Peter Chapple-Hyam-trained Dutch Art, unbeaten in three starts including the Group Two Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Group One Darley Prix Morny at Deauville.
Conquest, trained by William Haggas, landed the six-furlong Group Two Scottish Equitable Gimcrack Stakes at York in August by three quarters of a length from Wi Dud.
Wi Dud returned to York on September 8, to secure a deserved success in the Group Two Persimmon Homes Flying Childers Stakes over five furlongs, and will bid to give trainer Kevin Ryan a second consecutive triumph in the Shadwell Middle Park Stakes following the victory of Amadeus Wolf 12 months ago
The field is completed by the well-regarded Aidan O'Brien-trained Listed winner Brave Tin Soldier, and the progressive Barry Hills-trained Captain Marvelous.
CHANNON HOPING FOR THIRD CHEVELEY PARK WITH SILCA CHIAVE
Silca Chiave will bid to give Mick Channon his third victory in the Sky Bet Cheveley Park Stakes in eight years, following the wins of Seazun in 1999 and Queen's Logic in 2001, when she contests the Group One fillies event at Newmarket on Friday, September 29, for which 12 entries have been received.
The daughter of Pivotal followed a Newbury maiden over six furlongs on August 18 by running an absolute cracker over an extra furlong in the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh nine days later, going down by a short-head to Miss Beatrix.
That form has been franked by the winner going on to beat the colts impressively in the very valuable Goffs Million at the Curragh earlier this month, and Channon is confident that his charge will acquit herself well in the Newmarket contest despite reverting back to six furlongs.
"We always thought Silca Chiave was a good filly - it was just a question of which route we went with her. I thought it was worth having a cut at the Moyglare and she only got beat by a short-head," the trainer commented this morning.
"I'm not at all worried about the drop down in trip in the Sky Bet Cheveley Park Stakes - six or seven furlongs come the same to her.
"It's a proper race on Friday and very competitive, and we'll have to see what happens. It won't be easy but I'm very hopeful and I think she goes there with a good chance."
Silca Chiave's opponents include the Jeremy Noseda-trained Sander Camillo, the explosive five-length winner of the Group Two Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket on July 12, and Indian Ink, trained by Richard Hannon, who sauntered to a three-length victory in the Watership Down Stud Sales Stakes at Ascot on September 22.
Brian Meehan, successful for the past two seasons with Donna Blini last year and Magical Romance in 2004, has entered Group Three Sirenia Stakes heroine Dhanyata, while John Dunlop saddles both Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes scorer Scarlet Runner and Wid, second to Vital Statistics in a Listed event at Salisbury last time out.
The Robert Collet-trained Beauty Is Truth, victorious in Group Three company at Chantilly on September 6, and Magic America, second to Dutch Art in the Group One Prix Morny at Deauville on August 20 for Criquette Head-Maarek, represent France, while Aidan O'Brien sends maiden Theann over from Ireland.
The line-up is completed by Barry Hills' La Presse, third in the Group Three Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr on September 16, and Tim Pitt's twice-raced Blue Rocket.

VC BET CHALLENGE STAKES ATTRACTS 39
Caradak, winner of the Group Two Celebration Mile at Goodwood last month, heads 39 entries for the £90,000 Group Two VC Bet Challenge Stakes, run over seven furlongs on Champions' Day. He is one of six entries for Godolphin, who could also run last year's Sussex Stakes hero Proclamation and 2005 Haydock Sprint Cup victor Goodricke. Welsh Emperor recorded a career-best performance to take the Group Two Hungerford Stakes at Newbury this season, beating the likes of Caradak, Jeremy and Etlaala. Sleeping Indian landed a Listed prize at Newbury on his reappearance earlier this month, defeating Spinning Queen, Satchem, Cesare and Polar Ben, nine-year-old Quito ran the race of his life to chase home Reverence in the Sprint Cup at Haydock on September 2, and Danak, trained in Ireland by John Oxx, has landed all three career starts to date.
FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR THE 2006 NORTH WEST MASTERS
The most exciting weekend of jump racing in Britain, the North West Masters, is run for the second year in 2006, with the two-day meeting taking place on Saturday, November 18 and Sunday, November 19.
Haydock Park stages the initial day of the North West Masters on Saturday, November 18, and the thrilling feature is the £200,000 Betfair Chase, which boasts a £50,000 increase in value for 2006.
Following the 33 per cent prize money boost, the Grade One Betfair Chase is now, along with the Stan James King George VI Chase, the fourth most valuable chase of the season behind the John Smith's Grand National, totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
The three-mile Betfair Chase is the initial leg of the Betfair Million, jump racing's £1-million bonus, which involves winning the Betfair Chase followed by either the Stan James King George VI Chase at Kempton on December 26 or the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown on December 28, plus the 2007 totesport Gold Cup at Cheltenham on March 16. In a change to last year, connections now have the option of running in the Stan James King George VI Chase or the Lexus Chase as the middle leg of the Betfair Million.
Haydock also stages the £70,000 betfairpoker.com Handicap Hurdle on the same six-race card, which runs from 1.20pm through to 3.55pm and has the first three races live on BBC. My Way De Solzen, subsequently successful in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and second in the John Smith's Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree's Grand National meeting, finished runner-up behind St Matthew in the betfairpoker.com Handicap Hurdle last year.
Aintree Racecourse hosts day two of the prestigious North West Masters on Sunday, November 19, when the feature event of the day is the £100,000 totesport Becher Chase (2.50pm) over the world famous Grand National course. The three-mile, three-furlong showpiece, the highlight of a superb six-race card which starts at 1.05pm, is one of two races staged on the day over the spectacular Grand National fences, the other being the £60,000 totepool Grand Sefton Chase (1.40pm) over two miles, five and a half furlongs.
The totesport Becher Chase, one of the highlights of the jump season, is established as a stepping-stone to the world's most famous chase, the John Smith's Grand National, staged at Aintree in the spring.
The Ned Mitchell-trained Garvivonnian became the first Irish-based winner of the race last year when 19 lined up to tackle the 22 fences. Partnered by Garrett Cotter, the chaser defeated Le Duc by three-quarters of a length in a thrilling finish and returned to Aintree in April for the John Smith's Grand National. He was well fancied at 11/1 before being pulled up after a mistake at the Chair fence.
Trainer Sue Smith took the inaugural totesport Becher Chase in 1992 with the Lorcan Wyer-ridden Kildimo, and added to her haul 10 years later when clinching a second victory with Ardent Scout.
Into The Red is the only dual winner of the race, having landed the prize in 1994 for trainer John White and in 1996 for Saltburn handler Mary Reveley.
Earth Summit followed his 1998 John Smith's Grand National triumph with success in the race the following November and is one of three Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained winners, alongside Indian Tonic (1993) and Young Hustler (1995). The Gloucestershire handler is the race's most successful trainer.
Aintree favourite Amberleigh House secured the totesport Becher Chase in 2001 and was runner-up in 2002 and 2003, behind Ardent Scout and Clan Royal respectively, before giving trainer Ginger McCain a famous fourth win in the John Smith's Grand National when holding Clan Royal by three lengths in the 2004 renewal.
The totepool Grand Sefton Chase is now in its fourth year and was won last season by the John Spearing-trained 11-year-old Hakim, who held Fiori by two and a half lengths before going on to finish runner-up to Liberthine in the John Smith's Topham Trophy at the Grand National meeting in April.
The inaugural winner was the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Dark Room in 2003, while the Richard Ford-trained Forest Gunner prevailed the following year ahead of running fifth in the 2005 John Smith's Grand National under trainer's wife Carrie.
The North West Masters last year saw the totesport Becher Chase and the totepool Grand Sefton Chase staged on the same card for the first time and offers the only chance to see horses over the Grand National fences outside of the John Smith's Grand National meeting in April.
REGION HOPING FOR FURTHER SUCCESS
The 2005 North West Masters attracted nearly 20,000 visitors into the region with research showing that over £1.7million was spent by racegoers attending the meeting. Saturday's racing at Haydock Park saw over 12,000 people packed into its stands - the biggest jumping attendance for over 20 years - with Aintree attracting over 7,000 visitors, despite only passing a midday inspection.
Martin King, Director of Tourism at The Mersey Partnership, said: "The North West Masters event last year proved a resounding success and I'm confident that this year's will prove to be even bigger and better. I see the Masters as becoming another major fixture in Merseyside's incredible calendar of festivals and events."
The weekend in 2006 boasts a tremendous prize money total of £600,000, making the North West Masters two of the most valuable days in the British jumping calendar.
Kirkland Tellwright, Clerk of the Course Haydock Park Racecourse, commented today: "The inaugural running of the Betfair Chase certainly lived up to its billing and attracted many of the leading chasers from Britain and Ireland.
"With a £50,000 increase in prize money, the Betfair Chase is now one of the richest chases of the entire season and we look forward to another fascinating contest.
"Haydock Park would like to extend its support to Betfair once again for initiating the most exciting development in jump racing of recent years and we sincerely hope that their generosity and foresight will be rewarded.
"Last year's North West Masters was a major event for the local area and we again thank the support provided by the Northwest Regional Development Agency, the Mersey Partnership, Sefton and St Helens Councils."
Charles Barnett, Aintree's Managing Director, said today: "We are looking forward to welcoming racegoers to the North West. The quality of racing is first class and the event gives people the chance to experience two of the UK's premier racecourses in one weekend.
"Racegoers planning to visit the two-day meeting are already purchasing tickets and we are expecting thousands of visitors to attend the North West Masters in November.
"Running both the totesport Becher Chase and the totepool Grand Sefton Chase on the same day last year proved to be a great success. Racegoers were rewarded with two thrilling finishes over the Grand National fences and this was the perfect sequel to the Betfair Chase at Haydock the previous day."
Tickets are available for both Haydock and Aintree - call 01942 402 624 (Haydock) and 0151 522 2929 (Aintree). Accommodation booking is available on 0845 601 1125.

Kingscliff
Kingscliff started life in point-to-points under the care of Sally Alner and was unbeaten in two starts. He then won on his hunter chase debut at Wincanton in February, 2003, easily defeating Family Business by 30 lengths. On his second start in the Christie's Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival that March, he came home ahead of 23 opponents to land the prize by two and a half lengths, putting up another imposing performance. He then transferred to the National Hunt yard of Sally's husband Robert. The 2003/04 season saw Kingscliff make an extraordinary winning debut in handicap company at Ascot in November, when despite suffering a broken left reign after jumping the third fence, he eclipsed a seven-runner field to win by 17 lengths in the hands of Andrew Thornton. Another comfortable victory followed on his next start in December, when he defeated six opponents at Cheltenham over an extended three miles and one furlong trip. Widely expected to maintain his unbeaten record in the Peter Marsh Chase next time, Kingscliff could only finish second to Arctic Jack, beaten around 13 lengths, although he was later found to have muscular problems. That delayed his next start until December, 2004, when he ran a fantastic comeback race to be second to Kicking King in the King George VI Chase at Kempton, staying on with purpose and only going down by two and a half lengths. The performance at Kempton led many to see Kingscliff as a live Cheltenham Gold Cup contender, but after working poorly at home in his preparations for the big race, he was taken out of the contest. He recovered to run at the Punchestown Festival that April, but proved most disappointing in the Guinness Gold Cup, finishing a distant fourth behind Kicking King. The start of the 2005/06 season saw Kingscliff right back to form, with a close second to Ollie Magern in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on October 29, only beaten a length and a quarter. He duly improved on that fine comeback effort with a superb victory in the inaugural Grade One Betfair Chase at Haydock on November 19, producing an exceptional round of jumping and galloping to power home by a length and a quarter from Beef Or Salmon, with Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Kicking King nine lengths away in third. Expected to go close next time in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day, in which he had finished second a year previously without the benefit of a recent run, Kingscliff ran well below-par, blundering badly at the 10th fence, dropping out of contention and eventually being pulled up. The Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock in January seemed a decent opportunity for Kingscliff to regain the winning thread, despite the burden of top weight. Yet on the prevailing heavy ground, he was never travelling with any fluency, and although staying on late in the day, came home a well-beaten second behind Ebony Light. Finally able to contest the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup in March, Kingscliff was unable to get competitive when running 10th to War Of Attrition.
Race Record: Starts: 12; 1st: 5; 2nd: 4; 3rd: 0; Win & Place Prize Money: £244,426
Arnie Sendell
A retired electrical engineer from North Petherton, Somerset, Sendell has been involved with horseracing, primarily point-to-pointing, for over 30 years, since he finished playing rugby. His rugby career saw him turn out for North Petherton firsts before refereeing for Somerset RFU. A keen sportsman, he also raced pigeons and owned greyhounds, including good staying bitch Little Lovely, a Wembley rival of the famous Westpark Mustard. His mentor in the horseracing world was Tim Handel, who combined permit training with a butcher's business and advised Sendell on the buying of young horses. Sendell purchased Kingscliff - named after a wooded area and former quarry outside the village of North Petherton - as a three-year-old store from Irish horse dealer Martin Cullinane for an amount he describes as "peanuts". Following the horse's two point-to-point victories at Badbury Rings and Larkhill, Sendell reportedly turned down an offer for Kingscliff of 500,000 Euros, and put £100 on the horse at 100/1 to win the Foxhunter Chase at the 2003 Cheltenham Festival. The Toulon gelding's victory at Cheltenham not only won Sendell his wager, but also helped fulfil a lifetime's ambition. Since then, Kingscliff has also landed the 2005 Betfair Chase at Haydock, and Sendell has turned down increased offers for Kingscliff, including one of £750,000. Sendell has also been the West of England chrysanthemum growing and showing champion.
Robert Alner
Born on November 21, 1943, Robert Alner was a leading amateur rider with 212 point-to-point wins and 53 victories under Rules, of which the best was the National Hunt Chase on Domason in 1970. Having held a permit since 1978, he took out a full trainer's licence in 1993. His most important win to date came when the 25/1 chance Cool Dawn won the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1998, and the trainer has won other races at the Cheltenham Festival with Flyer's Nap (Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Chase & William Hill Handicap Chase ) and Honey Mount (Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Chase). Other horses with whom he has done well include Harwell Lad, who landed the 1997 Betfred Gold Cup at Sandown, Kates Charm, victorious in the Grade One Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham in 2002 and the Grade Two Ascot Hurdle in 2000, and Super Tactics, who took the Racing Post Chase at Kempton in 1998, while Hops And Pops, Dextra Dove and Spring Grove were other prolific winners for Alner. The current crop of talent includes Sir Rembrandt, winner of the Rehearsal Chase at Chepstow in 2003 and placed in the 2004 and 2005 Cheltenham Gold Cup, Kingscliff, winner of the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham in 2003 for wife Sally and the 2005 Grade One Betfair Chase at Haydock, and The Listener, a hugely exciting individual who won his first three starts over fences before failing to get round in his final two outings last season. The ex-French Mort De Rire won on his first start for Alner at Leicester and is another promising type for the new jump season. Alner saddled 38 winners during the 2005/06 season and this year he has a team of around 50 horses in training at the hamlet of Droop in Dorset.
Robert Walford
Yorkshire born and bred, Robert Walford, born October 22, 1980, began riding with the Middleton pony club before graduating to the point-to-point circuit, taking his first ride between the flags in 1998. His mother Gillian was a winning point-to-point rider, as was his father Tim, who holds a dual training licence. He joined Dorset trainer Robert Alner as an amateur in September, 1999, and partnered the trainer's Honey Mount to success in the 2000 Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, his first ride at the course. Walford turned professional in December, 2001 and rode out his claim in May, 2005. His profile received a boost when Alner announced in October, 2005 that the rider would partner Kingscliff throughout the coming season. His first outing on Kingscliff yielded a promising second place in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby, but the pair went one better next time when taking the Grade One Betfair Chase at Haydock. An injured collarbone prevented Walford from partnering Kingscliff in the King George VI Chase at Kempton in December, in which he was pulled up, but he was reunited with the horse for the final two starts of the season. Walford rode 14 winners in 2005/06.
