1m (Str) Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (4yo+) This doesn’t look like a high quality renewal of the Queen Anne Stakes, but it is set to be run at a ferocious pace with recent surprise Lockinge winner, Audience, and last years QE II winner Big…

1pt win Rogue Lightning @12/1, 1pt win Valiant Force @16/1, 15:45 Royal Ascot, Tuesday
5f King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) Big Evs was the champion juvenile sprinter last year capping off an incredible campaign with a Group 1 success in the Breeders Cup. He also hold a course and distance win in the Windsor Castle Stakes to…
1pt win Chic Colombine @6/1, 1pt win Sea Of Thieves @12/1, 14:00 Epsom, Saturday
1m½f (1m113y) Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored By My Pension Expert) (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) There are a few in here that have similarish looking claims and the field is fairly closely matched on official ratings. The favourite Running Lion was pulled out of the Oaks here…
1pt win Ezeliya 5/1, 1pt win Forest Fairy @7/1, 16:30 Epsom, Friday
1m4f (1m4f6y) Betfred Oaks (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) I’m not sure it’s a vintage renewal of the Oaks at Epsom on Friday and historically the fillies from the O’Brien or Gosden yard have been a dominant force in the race for the best part of…
1pt win Inisherin @9/2, 14:25 Haydock, Saturday
6f Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo) With a record of 4-4 in his juvenile season including two Group 1 wins, Vandeek is going to be exceptionally hard to beat if he is ready to go on his first run of the season.…
1pt win Rogue Lightning @9/2, 1pt win Beautiful Diamond @13/2, 13:50 Haydock, Saturday
5f (Inner) Betfred Temple Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) Vadream has got her soft ground conditions in the Temple Stakes at Newmarket, but she’s also been hugely backed this week and looks an incredibly short-price now given the competition. I woudn’t be surprised if she came out on top,…
1pt each-way Persica 11/1, 15:00 Newbury, Saturday
1m2f Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo) It’s one of the hottest three-year-old handicaps of the year and often throws up plenty of Group winners. Chantilly sticks out like a sore thumb for Aidan O’Brien, winning for the first time last time out after four…
0.75pts each-way Mgheera @16/1, 16:40 Longchamp, Sunday
5f Prix de Saint-Georges (Group 3) (3yo+) (Sprint Course) (Turf) (3yo+) Vicious Harry looked an improved performer on his last sprint start, but he has been given the outside draw here at Longchamp and that is a massive disadvantage. Low numbers generally have the better of it and I’m inclined…
1pt win Madame De Sevigne @15/2, 16:10 Lingfield, Saturday
7f William Hill Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) (3yo 0-80) MADAME DE SEVIGNE has looked fairly progressive, despite not getting her head in front in her first four career starts. She has her handicap debut here and a mark of 77 may prove lenient for this daughter of Night Of Thunder.…
1pt win Great Generation @5/2, 15:35 Lingfield, Saturday
7f William Hill Chartwell Fillies’ Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo+) Remarquee put in some huge performances last season in Group 1 company, but this is her first start of the season and she has to give away 12lbs to GREAT GENERATION who has been getting better and better with…
