6f Unibet Richmond Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) This race has been kind to us with two winners from the last three renewals, and I fancy Clive Cox’s CATURRA to keep that good run going. He’s 12/1 and has a lot in his favour as he’s travelled powerfully but…

1m Qatar Sussex Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) This looks like an ideal betting market with an odds-on favourite whose only defeats this season have come on soft ground – and the going is heavy. I can’t split the two three-year-old fillies in this race, SNOW LANTERN and ALCOHOL…

1m4f  (1m3f211y) King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)  (Class 1)(3yo+) WONDERFUL TONIGHT‘s participation in the King George won’t be confirmed until 2:30pm as the trainer waits for rain, but she’s drifted to 8/1 and that now looks too big. Her form really stacks up and we…

6f  Princess Margaret Keeneland Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies)  (Class 1) (2yo) This race has been kind to me in recent years and I fancy ATTAGIRL could keep that going. She’s 15/2 and I really liked the way she quickened last time out at Haydock. The form is there to be shot at but…

7f  (July) bet365 Superlative Stakes (Group 2)  (Class 1) (2yo) I like MR MCCANN‘s chance here at 11/1 as he gave plenty of weight away on his turf debut and won impressively, pulling clear of Triple Time. That gives him a fairly favourable collateral formline with the favourite here Dhabab, who is being backed…

ART POWER (17) 14/1 He’s been banging on the door in Group One sprints but only when the ground is softer, which must be by design. He’ll need rain and even then will probably come up short again. BRANDO (1) 80/1 Past his best and on the downgrade. CHIL CHIL…

7f  Chesham Stakes (Listed Race)  (Class 1) (2yo) The heavy ground might be against the favourite Port Lonsdale here and there’s a nice shape to the market with only ten runners. I’m firing two darts as I think both NEW SCIENCE (7/1) and GREAT MAX (10/1) should be shorter in the betting. Both…

6f  Albany Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies)  (Class 1) (2yo) Flotus couldn’t have been more eye catching on debut and looks a worthy favourite for this 6f sprint, but the race is so competitive she’s worth taking on at the prices with EVE LODGE, who was down to run earlier in the week but…

5f  Norfolk Stakes (Group 2)  (Class 1) (2yo) Thunderstorms failed to materialise over Ascot last night and only 3mm of rain fell so good to firm remains and now looks the right time to side with Wesley Ward’s LUCCI at 6/1, who won’t have wanted any rain. Ward made no secret that the…

5f  Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies)  (Class 1) (2yo) 22 run but there’s hope as we’ve found the winner twice in the last five renewals, both times with Wes Ward raiders – although his Twilight Gleaming looks extremely short for this so is best avoided this time. I like DESERT DREAMER the…
