Treanmor creates big impression on debut

Charlie Appleby unleashed a smart-looking juvenile at Newmarket as Treanmor lived up to his lofty price tag with a dominant display in the Enter ITV7 For Free Novice Stakes.

Godolphin had to go to €2,000,000 to purchase the son of Frankel but that could prove a sound investment judged by the way William Buick was able to control proceedings throughout on the 30-100 favourite before pulling four lengths clear at the line.

“We were hopeful it was going to be straightforward, he’s a straightforward horse to deal with and shows a lot of class.,” Appleby told ITV Racing.

“We’ve been lucky that the two-year-olds have been running well so we had a bit of a gauge on him.

“We’ve never taken him off the bridle at home so I said to William to be wary of that if he had to ask the question. There should be an abundance of improvement to come.

“We had pencilled in a plan for the Chesham (seven furlongs) but he hasn’t lacked pace there so we’ll see.”

This race was over six furlongs and Treanmor earned a quote of 5-1 with Coral and Paddy Power for the Coventry Stakes at the same distance.
