Durban July hero Stuart Randolph will be at Kenilworth on Saturday for seven rides, notably Cape Classic winner Eighth Wonder in the Tekkie Town Winter Guineas.

Greg Ennion, who has booked Randolph for three other mounts, said: “Eighth Wonder needs to be settled and Stuart knows the horse because he rode him in the Investec Cape Derby.”

Joey Ramsden, who has won two of the last four Winter Guineas with class horses Variety Club and Act Of War, runs the top rated Hard Day’s Night (Donovan Dillon) as well as Mr Wise Guy (Gareth Wright). With 16 runners, it’s the biggest Winter Guineas field for at least 15 years.

Anthony Delpech has five rides for Justin Snaith (as well as one for Glen Puller) including Ready To Attack in the Winter Guineas. Last year’s Langerman winner will be boosted if this week’s forecast rain materialises.  He is rated only a kilo behind Hard Day’s Night and receives that amount.

Raymond Danielson is another visiting jockey, riding Streak Of Silver for Eric Sands in the big race, the Brett Crawford-trained Midnite Zone and two for Paddy Kruyer – Anglet in the RTT Sweet Chestnut and probably favourite Mega Secret in the last.
