Prayer in line for Summer service

Without A Prayer is set for a step up in class following his impressive display at Windsor.Ralph Beckett's four-year-old built on a promising fourth in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom when a cosy winner of the Midsummer Stakes, and the Whitsbury handler is now eyeing the Group Two Summer Mile at Ascot on July 11."It was a really good performance and he has come out of the race pretty well, which is great as he is a horse who takes his races pretty hard," said Beckett."He deserved that win as he got no run at Epsom the time before. I'm not saying he would have won, but I think he would have been in the first two."He appears to have got quicker as he's got older, which is quite rare, and we never really thought of him as a miler."When he won over a mile as a three-year-old he ground it out, whereas this time he quickened off a not particularly fast pace and beat them for toe."I was delighted with the performance and if he comes out of it well we might think about the Summer Mile at Ascot, because he loves fast ground."
