Trainer Comments:
Jonathan Snaith: “Made To Conquer was impressive in his gallop and looked a serious contender with Jeffrey Lloyd who handled him beautifully. He is an anomaly in that he just keeps improving. He has never put a foot wrong and is the most consistent runner in the entire field.”
“He is a progressive sort and the type of older horse that often wins the July. He is a tough, hard-knocking individual and is sure to be competitive.”
Jockey Comments:
Jeff Lloyd: “He’s a good mover, he has a good temperament, but he’s not a horse who does more than he has to do. He is very laid back. I’ve ridden many horses who wait for the racecourse to do their best and I think he is one of them.”
Winning Form – Magic Tips Comment:
This up and coming Dynasty gelding is a proven stayer who boasts an awesome record of six wins from his last seven starts, but he also takes a giant leap in class today. His low galloping mass will aid his cause. He impressed in his two local triumphs, particularly in a Grade 3 feature on this course last time out when he was carried badly over the final two furlongs. His world class jockey’s riding style will suit this improving gelding who has a decent turn of speed so the 1kg sufferance isn’t a major worry. He has upset potential.
Verdict: He has improved rapidly, toughest test yet but swift turn of foot will help.
Hollywoodbets Comments:
Made To Conquer is by Dynasty, who won the big race in 2003 and produced the July winner of 2014, Legislate.
