Wantage trainer Henry Candy is hoping for a big run from Corrybrough as he steps up to Group 1 company for the first time in the rerouted Sprint Cup at Doncaster tomorrow, writes Russell Smith.

The Kingston Warren handler's three-year-old was denied a crack at the highest level last weekend when the six-furlong contest was washed out at Haydock.

However, Doncaster stepped in to save the race and it will now be run at 2.35pm – 35 minutes before the St Leger under the sponsorship of Ladbrokes.

Corrybrough, who finished a never-nearer fifth to Inxile in a Listed contest at Deauville last time out, was installed as an 8-1 co-third favourite by the new sponsors on Monday behind 4-1 joint market leaders African Rose and Utmost Respect.

And Candy reports the son of Kyllachy, who himself claimed Group 1 glory for the Wantage yard in the 2002 Nunthorpe Stakes at York, to be in fine fettle for his biggest test yet.

"He's in very good form, but the Deauville race was a non-event as he had an awful lot to do and then flew at the finish," he said.

Candy, meanwhile, sent out Effigy to finally open his account under Amy Scott at Salisbury.

Running for the 17th time, the four-year-old came home a length and a half clear of Straight Sets, from Mick Channon's West Ilsley yard, in an apprentices' handicap over a mile.

Channon returned home from The Park Hospital, a private unit in Nottingham, at the end of last week as he recuperates from the serious injuries he sustained in a car crash.

The former England footballer was a passenger in a silver Mercedes which hit a concrete pillar on the M1 eight days earlier, with the accident claiming the life of his long-time friend, bloodstock agent and racehorse owner Tim Corby, who was driving.

Channon suffered broken ribs, a broken arm, a fractured jaw and a punctured lung.

His son, Jack, who suffered minor injuries, was discharged from Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre last Wednesday.

Further memories of Corby were evoked when Kiribati King battled to victory in the colours of Box 41 – the syndicate he managed – at Warwick.

Revelling in the testing conditions, the three-year-old stayed on well to beat Simone Martin by half a length in a handicap over a mile and seven furlongs.

Precision Break notched his fifth win of the season for Paul Cole's Whatcombe stables, near Wantage, with victory at Kempton.

Apprentice Travis Block rode out his claim with victory aboard 40-1 shot My Kingdom for East Ilsley trainer Hughie Morrison at Brighton.

The success aboard the two-year-old, who ran out an impressive six-lengths winner of a seven-furlong maiden, was Block's 95th.

On the same card, Siryena, from Ben Case's Edgcote stables, near Banbury, sprang a 20-1 surprise under David Probert in a mile-and-a-quarter claiming stakes.

And Hook Norton trainer Peter Hiatt sent out Maslak to score his first success over timber in a Fontwell novices' hurdle.

Robert Thornton's mount stayed on well to beat Cavallini by four and a half lengths.
