It is hard to see past the Richard Fahey runner after the colt’s excellent run in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot
In most years the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury is a tremendously competitive contest among two-year-olds of broadly similar ability, posing a real trap for punters. But every so often it falls to a horse who is plainly a class above most of the field, as when Tiggy Wiggy and Monsieur Chevalier won, and Ventura Rebel (3.40) may add his name to that short list.
From the Richard Fahey stable that has won this three times in six years, he beat a Wesley Ward-trained odds-on shot at Ascot in May. He was then beaten a neck in the Norfolk Stakes, from which the fourth has since won at Listed level. It is hard to see past him.
