BILLESDON BROOK is a fairly confident selection for Thursday’s Group One Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood – a track she’s got all-important course form at having won twice there before. A surprise but good winner of the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket – form that’s worked out well – she was a…

1pt win Land Force @6/1, 15:00 Goodwood, Thursday
Richard Fahey runs two in the Group Two Richmond Stakes over six furlongs at Goodwood on Thursday, and we tipped both of them for separate races during Royal Ascot. Charming Kid let us down when behind Shang Shang Shang in a fillies’ Group Two over five furlongs but left that…
1pt win Orbaan @25/1, 15:35 Goodwood, Wednesday
Royal Ascot winner Without Parole bids for back-to-back Group One successes in the Sussex Stakes over a mile at Goodwood on Wednesday, but I wasn’t particularly impressed by his win in the St James’ Palace Stakes so I’m taking him on. The round course was tough for closers all week…
2pts win Angel's Hideaway @4/1, 13:50 Ascot, Saturday
ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY looks the form horse in the opener on Ascot’s Saturday card, and 4/1 looks to have underestimated her chance. Ahead of her in the market are an impressive maiden winner in Scintilating and a Listed winner Royal Intervention, who looks very short at sub-2/1 – they both do.…
1pt win Limato @12/1, 14:15 Newmarket, Saturday
Reigning champion Harry Angel misses the July Cup after failing to recover from an injury sustained in the starting stalls at Royal Ascot, leaving his Godolphin teammate Blue Point, the King’s Stand winner, top of the market at a general 3/1. Blue Point was a good two-year-old and high class…
Newmarket day one tips: Wells Farhh Go (15/2) and Zaman (40/1)
WELLS FARHH GO was an eye-catcher at Royal Ascot, attempting tactics which hadn’t worked for any runner on the round course the whole week: coming from off the pace on fast ground. He did make up ground at the finish and stayed on strongly to suggest the extra furlong of…
1pt win Happily @8/1, 14:10 Sandown, Saturday
Saturday’s big race is the Coral Eclipse over ten furlongs at Sandown, where the Classic generation, including three of the first four home in the Derby, take on the older horses for the first time at Group One level. The market is expecting the three-year-olds to dominate and it’s no…
1.5pts win Redkirk Warrior @5/1, 16:20 Royal Ascot, Saturday
Saturday’s feature race at Royal Ascot is the Diamond Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs for older horses, and the 2018 renewal is brilliantly international with runners from Britain, Ireland, France, America and Australia. Group One sprints are hard to dissect at the best of times, so the international flavour makes…
Windsor Castle Stakes bets: Mutawaffer (10/1) and Sabre (11/1)
The Windsor Castle Stakes looks an tough punting conundrum this year with 28 runners over five furlongs on fast ground. Here’s my shortlist: Mutawaffer – 10/1 Trained by spring king Charlie Hills and by a notable sire of two-year-olds, Kodiac, this colt bolted up at Goodwood over six furlongs and…
1pt win Angel's Hideaway @14/1, 1pt win Stillwater Cove @18/1, 14:30 Royal Ascot, Friday
John Gosden and Frankie Dettori have combined to win several times this week already, and they team up again with ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY in the opener on Friday’s Royal Ascot card. It looks a good renewal of the six-furlong Albany Stakes for filles, and Aidan O’Brien dominates the market with Just Wonderful, the…
