1m4f (1m4f6y) Betfred Derby (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) I’m not particularly interested in backing anything here that isn’t sired by Frankel or Sea The Stars. Not only do those two sires provide stamina assurances, but they both have a higher ceiling of potential for their progeny versus the likes of Camelot, New…

1m½f (1m113y) Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) (Sponsored By Chapel Down) (Class 1) (3yo+) Conditions could be pretty testing tomorrow and that could suit Sparks Fly who finished third in this race last year. But it’ll be tough for her to give weight all-round in a race…

6f (6f3y) Oddschecker British EBF Woodcote Stakes (Conditions Race) (GBB Race) (Class 2) (2yo) I don’t see a standout piece of form here in the Woodcote, there isn’t a Pinatubo or a horse of that quality in the line-up it appears and therefore the form of everything in here looks…

1m 4f (1m4f6y) Betfred Oaks (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) Amelia Earhart has a quirky edge about her and I wonder whether they will be able to keep a lid on her tomorrow. Her form figures aren’t particularly exciting and her odds of 2/1 are clearly driven by jockey…

1m2f (1m1f197y) Darley British EBF Fillies’ Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race) (Class 2) (3-5yo) An interesting Fillies Novice Stakes where the market looks wrong to me with St. Hilda or Evening Shades combined having over 50% winning chance in this contest. This race looks more…

5f William Hill Temple Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) Night Raider showed improved form in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket and his gelding operation seems to have eeked out a good bit more improvement. He will no doubt set the pace again here, but the going conditions may…

1m5f Irish Stallion Farms EBF Yeats Stakes (Listed Race) (3yo) Paddy Twomey won this race with Carmers last season and has another progressive staying type in the shape of TROJAN FIGHTER here who is bidding to do the same double as with Carmers having won well at Ballinrobe 8 days…

1m2f Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3yo) AL AZD has an unusual profile for this excellent handicap. He raced twice last season before a gelding operation seemed to bring out improvement for the son of Dubawi. Three runner-up spots with performances fo a…

1m (Row) Betfred 2000 Guineas Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) I’d take on Gstaad here because his participation feels a little reactive to the flop of Albert Einstein, and towards the end of his juvenile campaign he started to look a shade exposed – albeit as very…

4m (3m7f176y) Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) KING OF ANSWERS ran best of horses that were held up in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. That race has already had its form franked by several horses and could be a race to follow going…
