1m (Str) William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) A Group One race lacking any Group One form to go by but HOTAZHELL did finish ahead of a subsequent Group One winner two starts ago and has gone on to win at Group Two level since, which marks him…

1m (Str) Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By Qipco) (Group 1) (British Champions Mile) (Class 1) (3yo+) Whilst Charyn has proven himself the top miler in Europe over the summer, TAMFANA is the ‘now’ horse after an impressive and fairly easy win in the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket. She proved her wellbeing and…

1m3½f (1m3f133y) (Inner) Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) CONTENT is a confident selection here at a generous 9/1 as she has every right to be considered the best horse in the race. The Yorkshire Oaks winner is top on ratings without accounting for her 3yo…

7f (Row) Darley Dewhurst Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) A poor turnout for Europe’s premier 2yo race made worse by the fav being pulled out overnight. Middle Park winner Shadow Of Light trades odds on but there’s usually a gulf in class between the 6f and 7f…

1m (Row) bet365 Fillies’ Mile (Group 1) (Class 1) (2yo) The market is strong in favour of the May Hill Stakes form where Desert Flower beat January, and I don’t see why those places would be reversed. Aidan O’Brien saddles three runners and I suspect they all have chances of winning. Ryan Moore has…

7f Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Group 1) (2yo No Geldings) (New Course) (Turf) (2yo) There’s a very solid look to the Irish form here and despite toying with taking on HENRI MATISSE, his trainer had four winners on the card yesterday and he’s clearly the most talented horse in this race. He’s…

1m2f (1m1f165y) Qatar Prix Dollar (Group 2) (3yo+) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) A good betting race. I like the German raider, Calif, on form but the Group One penalty is killer. Anmaat won this two seasons ago and has barely put a hoof wrong since, with his only defeat when conceding weight to…

6f (Row) Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) I’m against Moyglare winner Lake Victoria as she’s looked like a miler so far and is yet to clock a sub 11 second furlong, whereas a more sprinting type like Babouche did four times last time out. She might lack the speed…

1m4f (Row) Princess Royal Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) I suspect with heavy going there could be some long odds winners. Time Lock won this last year on fast ground but his form has regressed this campaign and I want to take him on. I don’t…

1m6½f (1m6f115y) Betfred St Leger Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo) I originally came down on Sunway at a price but he’s shortened plenty and the more I look at him, the more he blends into the pack form wise. I feel Coolmore have a…
