Dunlop plays down hype

ED Dunlop is keen to play down the hype surrounding Voodoo Prince ahead of this afternoon’s Bet On toteplacepot At totesport.com Handicap at Sandown.

The three-year-old is the first offspring of the fantastic Ouija Board, who took Dunlop all over the world and won twice at the Breeders’ Cup as well as winning the English and Irish Oaks.

Not surprisingly with such a famous mother, the Kingmambo colt has attracted plenty of attention in his two races to date. He was only sixth in a traditionally hot maiden at Newbury which contained subsequent French Derby fourth Colombian but then won impressively at Haydock, beating the highly-regarded Roger Varian-trained newcomer, Kawssaj.
