With the 7/2 unbeaten favourite Rushing Fall drawn wide in stall 11, there surely must be a bet in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar on Friday night. Del Mar receives ten inches of rain all year, so we can expect rattling fast ground and a real emphasis…
1pt win Luminate @10/3, 13:35 Saint-Cloud, Sunday
Aidan O’Brien broke Bobby Frankel’s long-standing record for most Group One wins in a season on Saturday, and he’s now out to extend that record with runners in France today. Nelson, whose sire Frankel is named after the legendary trainer, had his form comprehensively franked in Saturday’s record-breaking Racing Post Trophy…
1pt win Raheen House @7/1, 0.75pts each-way Architecture @12/1, 14:15 Newbury, Saturday
A really competitive looking Group 3 at Newbury on Saturday with Frontiersman heading the market at the puntable price of 4/1. He holds the best form on offer with his second to Highland Reel in the Coronation Cup, but he is yet to win at a higher grade than Listed…
0.75pts each-way Seahenge @12/1, 0.5pts each-way Gabr @22/1, 15:25 Doncaster, Saturday
Aidan O’Brien looks to break Bobby Frankel’s world record for Group One victories on the flat this Saturday, sending four over to Doncaster to tackle the mile-long Racing Post Trophy for two-year-olds. Chief hope according to both jockey bookings and the betting market is the Japanese-bred Saxon Warrior, with Ryan…
1.5pts win Lord Glitters @4/1, 0.75pts each-way The Grape Escape @11/1, 16:30 Ascot
The Balmoral Handicap has a slightly unusual complexion to it this year with two stand-out horses at the head of the market in Zabeel Prince and LORD GLITTERS, who are both racing off the same modest mark of 102. Roger Varian’s charge looks a Group horse in the making, but…
1pt win Tasleet (W/O Harry Angel) @8/1, 14:00 Ascot, Saturday
July Cup and Haydock Sprint Cup winner Harry Angel casts a long shadow over the market for Europe’s richest sprint, the Champions Sprint Stakes on Ascot’s Champions Day card. He was absolutely brilliant at Haydock and nothing even got close to him on the day, powering through the heavy ground…
1.5pts each-way Stradivarius @17/2, 13:25 Ascot, Saturday
Royal Ascot winning three-year-old STRADIVARIUS looks an outstanding bet at 9/1 in the opening Long Distance Cup on Ascot’s Champions Day card. Up against the last two winners of the Group One Ascot Gold Cup – Big Orange and Order Of St George – and despite being second favourite, he’s been…
0.75pts each-way Withhold @9/1, 0.75pts each-way Time To Study @14/1, 15:40 Newmarket
Thirty-four runners go to post in the Cesarewitch on Saturday with the jumps-trained John Constable the current 8/1 favourite. He is rated over 60lbs lower than his national hunt mark so he could be treated very nicely by the handicapper. With such great value on offer and eight places with…
1pt win Wafy @8/1, 1pt win Flag Of Honour @12/1, 14:25 Newmarket, Saturday
Ghaiyyath trades 2/1 favourite for the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday but I’m not sure that’s the right price after just a course and distance maiden success. He looked pretty good and favouritism is fairly justified, but I’m happy to take him on with Charlie Hills’s WAFY at 8/1. He too…
1pt win September @15/2, 15:35 Newmarket, Friday
I rate Aidan O’Brien’s Royal Ascot-winning filly SEPTEMBER very highly, and at 15/2 she looks overpriced for Group One glory in today’s Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket. Her stablemates Magical and Happily, the latter now a dual-Group One winner, have finished in front of her in her previous two starts on soft ground…
