Connections non-committal on Tiggy Abbaye run

Richard Hannon stressed the brilliant Tiggy Wiggy "is by no means certain" to run in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp next Sunday.

The Group One five-furlong dash, for which she would need to be supplemented, was the race on everyone's lips after the speedy juvenile made it six wins from eight races in the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

While the Marlborough trainer is keen on taking her to Paris, there a lot of things to consider, especially the well-being of the filly.

"Tiggy Wiggy has come back fine and she may yet be heading for Paris, but I would like to stress that it is by no means certain," he told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.

"There are so many key factors to consider - would it be one race too many, will it come too quick and is it worth taking a chance when the draw out there is so important, not to mention the vital fact that either Richard Hughes rides at 2lb overweight or we look for a new jockey?

"The owners would love to run in France and so would we, but the welfare of Tiggy Wiggy comes first, and we will see how she is in a couple of days before making a decision as to whether to supplement."

Hughes also has the best interests of the filly at heart and would not be too upset if another jockey rode Tiggy Wiggy in the Abbaye because he couldn't do the weight.

"If she was fine to run, don't worry about me, I'll get over it," the champion jockey told At The Races.

"I think Richard is going to monitor her and unless he's 120 per cent happy he wouldn't do it to her and send her.

"The nearest I could do to the weight is 8st 6lb, but that is neither here nor there."

Looking ahead to next year, Hughes feels Tiggy Wiggy deserves the chance to see if she can stay the mile of the Qipco 1000 Guineas.

"We probably have to let her have a go at the Guineas. We all have a fair idea that she probably wouldn't stay, but it would be a terrible shame not at least give her a go," he said.

"And if she was to get a mile, there is nothing out there that would beat her.

"The plan would probably be something like the Fred Darling next spring and if she won that, let her take her chance. Why not?

"You've nothing to lose. You can always come back in trip."
