HOPING TO RECAPTURE FORM FOR BIG RACE

PULBOROUGH-trained Tungsten Strike ran a great race to be third in a vintage renewal of the £100,000 Group Two ABN Amro Goodwood Cup last season and the gelding's trainer, Amanda Perrett is hoping for another big effort in the prestigious two-mile contest at Glorious Goodwood on Thursday this week.

Amanda revealed: " Tungsten Strike is heading to Goodwood for the Goodwood Cup and I'm hoping for another good run."

Tungsten Strike began this season in excellent form with a length and a half defeat of Baddam in the Group Three Woodcote Stud Sagaro Stakes as Ascot on May 2, before finishing fifth in the Group Two Henry II Stakes at Sandown and then fading to finish 13th in the Group One Ascot Gold Cup over two and a half miles.

Amanda, who believes there are valid reasons for the horse's two below-par efforts, said: "He'll have put his run in the Ascot Gold Cup behind him but I think he probably doesn't get that extended trip."
