Summer Mile target for Side Glance

Side Glance has earned himself a mid-season break after winning the Royal Windsor Stakes last week.

Andrew Balding’s gelding was making his third start of the season having finished third at Leicester before winning a good race at Ascot by six lengths from the bang in-form St Moritz.

With no suitable target at the Royal meeting for the four-year-old, Balding is easing off him with the intention of coming back for the likes of the Summer Mile at Ascot in July.

“He’s going to have a bit of a break now and we are going to bring him back for a summer campaign,” said Balding.

“I think we are going to aim him at the likes of the Summer Mile and races like that.

“He had three fairly quick races at the start of the season and there’s nothing at Royal Ascot for him anyway.”
