PRINCE JERSEY-BOUND

Taken from the TDN

Sultan Ahmad Shah’s Strategic Prince (GB) (DANSILI {GB}) is being aimed at the June 20 G3 Jersey S., connections announced yesterday. Following two off the- board runs in the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket May 5 and Saturday’s G1 Epsom Derby, last year’s G2 July S. and G2 Vintage S. winner is set for a drop back to seven furlongs for the Royal Ascot contest. “Strategic Prince is fine; he didn’t get the trip [in the Derby] and we are going to go for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot,” trainer Paul Cole’s son and assistant Oliver told sportinglife.com. “It could be tailor-made for him, that race. He has always shown a lot of speed, and now the two main Classics are out of the way, we can just get him to win, hopefully.”
