1m4f (1m3f211y) King George V Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3yo 0-105) Merchant looks like he could be a very exciting colt for Highclere, but he is an incredibly short-price in what is a very deep handicap. He also has to defy a wide draw in stall 20.…

1m4f (1m3f211y) Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) There are a lot of doubtful stayers in this race and that’s the angle in. Favourite Serenity Prayer is not one of them and should get the trip, but she’s drawn in stall 10 and she was stuffed in her Oaks Trial behind subsequent…

1m2f (1m1f212y) Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) Many have tried and failed to get by Los Angeles but he is exposed as shy of top notch, and there are plenty of new challengers. Similar comments apply to Anmaat and younger legs can take this. OMBUDSMAN may have lost his unbeaten…

1m (7f213y) (Rnd) Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (4yo+) Course form is very valuable and RUNNING LION won this last year from the front. She’s since placed second in the Group One Opera on Arc day and returned to form last time out when outstayed over 2f further at…
