Andrew Balding is considering a tilt at the Qatar Goodwood Cup with his Royal Ascot<\/a> hero Dashing Willoughby.<\/p>\n

The Nathaniel colt relished the step up to a mile and three-quarters when landing last month\u2019s Queen Vase \u2013 and was far from disgraced when dropped to a mile and a half for the Princess of Wales\u2019s Stakes at Newmarket, finishing a close-up fourth behind Communique.<\/p>\n

Balding feels a sterner test of stamina will suit Dashing Willoughby, however \u2013 and he could move up to two miles for the first time at Glorious Goodwood, where he would clash with the star stayer Stradivarius, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Goodwood Cup is a possibility, and he will be confirmed for it on Monday,\u201d said Balding.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe ran a smashing race at Newmarket \u2013 he just wants a bit further. \u201d<\/p>\n

Another Balding inmate who could be bound for the Sussex Downs is Shine So Bright, who has not been seen in competitive action since finishing a promising sixth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket<\/a> in early May.<\/p>\n

\u201cShine So Bright is still in the Lennox Stakes, although it might come a bit too soon for him,\u201d the trainer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
