Noseda points way to totesport.com Dante with Sans Frontieres

SANS FRONTIERES will face a step up in class and distance as trainer Jeremy Noseda has pinpointed the totesport.com Dante at York on Thursday May 14 as the Galileo colt’s next assignment.

Noseda’s charge built on a juvenile debut victory at Lingfield with a promising second career start in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket last week.  Sans Frontieres finished second to 2000 Guineas favourite Delegator, staying on in good style at the end of the mile Group 3 to suggest the extended mile and a quarter totesport.com Dante trip will be ideal for him.
  
He has emerged well from his Rowley Mile exertions and Noseda is looking forward to taking him to a track where the Newmarket-based trainer has enjoyed some notable successes.  Kalypso Katie (2000) and Cassis (2003) both won the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes, Balmont took the 2003 ITM Gimcrack Stakes and Noseda secured victories through Proclamation (Jersey Stakes) and La Chunga (Albany Stakes) in the year (2005) that Royal Ascot was staged at York and landed the world’s oldest classic with Sixties Icon when the Ladbrokes St Leger was run on the Knavesmire. 

Noseda said: “Sans Frontieres will head to the Dante. He has taken his race at Newmarket very well and I am happy with him. For what was only the second run of his life we were delighted with the level of his performance."
 
“He will be suited by the step up to a mile and a quarter and, although it is shaping up, as usual, to be the premier and most competitive Derby trial – with Crowded House and Kite Wood scheduled to run – it’s a race that will tell us where we stand and also what his future programme is likely to be.”
