Premium set for Ascot repeat bid

Connections of Superior Premium are optimistic of getting the seven-year-old to Royal Ascot for a repeat bid in the Cork And Orrery Stakes.

The Richard Fahey-trained seven-year-old finished last of 11 behind Iron Mask in the valuable Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Sprint earlier this month after receiving a bump on the first bend.

However, Superior Premium has recovered from his trip to Singapore and is being prepared for another tilt at the six-furlong Group Two on June 21st.

'He`s fine - not a bother on him,' Fahey said this morning. 'Hopefully we`ll get him to the Cork And Orrery.

'He was disappointing in Singapore but overnight he lost 16 kilos - believe it or not - from the morning of the race to the day after. That`s a lot of weight to lose morning to morning.

'But he galloped yesterday and he`s fine.'
