Hills team move up the gears

Barry Hills is looking to get some of his Classic hopes back on the racecourse next week.

Yankadi holds an entry in the stanjamesuk.com 2000 Guineas and could test the water at Newmarket, where stablemates Nacho Libre and Royal Confidence are also likely to flex their muscles.

Hills said: “Yankadi might run in the Craven next week at Newmarket and Nacho Libre could go for the Free Handicap.

“Royal Confidence might be one for the Nell Gwyn, with Spinning Lucy going for the Fred Darling (Dubai Duty Free) at Newbury.

“I might have one or two for the maidens as well next week but I’m really just looking forward to getting the horses going.”
