1m2f Moyglare ”Jewels” Blandford Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) (3yo+) GODDESS looks well worth a go at 4/1 back up at 10f. She looked good last time out and stayed 9f really well, so now in a bit of form she is well up to winning this. Many of her opponents…
2019 Irish Champion Stakes guide and selection
1m2f QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1) (Outer Track) (3yo+) A horse-by-horse guide to Ireland’s biggest flat race, as well as our selection. We’re expecting fast ground with a warm, sunny day forecast in Dublin. Magical – 15/8fChance: ★★★★Value: ★★ For all that her form is rock solid and tied…
St Leger day selections: Never No More (15/2), Royal Dornoch (25/1)
7f (7f6y) Hird Rail Group Park Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) NEVER NO MORE looks a big price to land this Group Two prize. He showed smart form when conquering Madhmoon earlier in the season and was off the track for a few months following that success, presumably through a setback, so can…
1pt win Passion @7/1, 15:45 Doncaster, Thursday
1m (Str) William Hill May Hill Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2yo) This is a really good race. Cloak Of Spirits looked really good on debut at Ascot, scooting clear to win by an easy three lengths. However, this assignment is a step up to a mile, and the sectional times at Ascot showed…
1pt win Olmedo @16/1, 14:50 Longchamp, Sunday
1m Prix du Moulin de Longchamp (Group 1) (3yo+ Colts, Horses, Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) It’s probably fair that Romanised heads the market for this competitive Group One on account of his good win at Deauville and previous solid efforts at this grade. However, he nor second-fav, Royal Ascot…
1pt each-way Fairyland @11/1, 16:10 Haydock, Saturday
6f Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) The Sprint Cup market has been blown wide-open with the absence of Ten Sovereigns and Advertise. Khaadem has been installed into favourite at 3/1 and there is no doubt he’s a Group-level performer after trouncing the field in the Steward’s…
1pt win Happy Power @6/1. 14:05 Goodwood
1m Ladbrokes Celebration Mile Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) Skardu returns from a break and has Group One aspirations for the rest of the season, so today might be a day to try and get him beat as a short-priced favourite in a small field. Duke Of Hazzard loves Goodwood and is…
1pt each-way Raheen House @15/2, 0.75pts each-way Dramatic Queen @25/1, 15:40 York, Saturday
1m 6f Sky Bet Ebor Handicap (Class 2) (4yo+) The highlight of the Ebor meeting is the 1m 6f Ebor handicap which in recent times has seen a number of Group-level performers dropping in grade to claim the £1m handicap. And with 22-runners separated by just 8lbs in the handicap,…
1pt win Justifier @6/1, 19:10 Curragh, Friday
7f Galileo Irish EBF Futurity Stakes (Group 2) (2yo) Away from York, Curragh hosts two Group Twos this evening and I fancy Ger Lyons’ JUSTIFIER can upset the odds to confirm his form over the Aidan O’Brien hotpot Armory. They raced together in their maiden, which Justifier won, and even though the…
York day three selections: Royal Commando (20/1)
6f Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) There have only been two winning favourites of the Gimcrack in the last decade, and Richard Hannon’s Threat has been beaten the last twice so is hardly the most imposing market leader. This is a very competitive race…
