Nunthorpe to Radio tuned

Kingsgate Native landed the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes as a juvenile in 2007 and Radiohead bids to rerun the feat in Friday's Group 1 heat at York.

Brian Meehan's colt did extremely well to overcome trouble in running and land the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and one thing in favour of the juvenile the only two year old in the field is the huge weight for age agreement which he receives.

Meehan told www.brianmeehanatmanton.com: "Radiohead produced a high-class effort at Royal Ascot and we think this race will play to his strengths again. There should be enough of pace early on, the five furlongs is ideal and the ground should suit."

He added: "The fact that he gets all the allowances is a further encouragement to his chance and his work in his build up to this race advice he is in excellent form."

Jeremy Noseda accept he is taking a bit of a punt with Mythical Border, not seen since finishing down the field in the Cheveley Park Stakes. Before that, though, she had shown plenty of ability when third in the Flying Childers.

Noseda told www.jeremynoseda.com: "William Buick will ride this filly. Admittedly it is an ambitious target for a filly having her first run of the season but we feel, looking at the available chance over five furlongs, that we have nothing to lose by letting her take her chance."
