Likely back on comeback trail
Last Updated: 05/08/14 9:52am
David Barron's highly-regarded filly Likely is back in work after a setback which ruled her out of Royal Ascot.
The Qatar Racing-owned juvenile created a real impression when winning by five lengths on her debut at Carlisle in May.
She has not been seen since and while the Ebor meeting at York will probably come too soon for her reappearance, Barron hopes to see her return to action later in the season.
Likely holds entries in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, the Shadwell Rockfel Stakes and the Connolly's Red Mills Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.
"She's just back in work," said Barron. "I think York might just be a bit soon, I don't want to rush her and I want her to tell me when she's ready.
"Her form looks good, the second (Mattmu) looked good at Chester on Sunday.
"We know she's smart. I wouldn't know what ground she wants, it's only in the really good races when you need everything in your favour when you get to find those things out really."
