2m2f (Row) Together For Racing International Cesarewitch Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) Willie Mullins has his sights set on a magical fourth Cesarewitch in a row and with him throwing six darts at the race, he’s probably a short price to do it again. M C Muldoon currently heads…

7f Qatar Prix de la Foret (Group 1) (3yo+) (New Course) (Turf) (3yo+) The ground will be pretty horrendous come 5pm on Arc day and the Foret could be a proper slog to finish the Group 1 proceedings. I am massive fan of Space Blues, and earlier this week he…

5f Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (Group 1) (2yo+) (Sprint Course) (Turf) (2yo+) With the going set to be extremely heavy on Sunday at Longchamp, the usual short-trip in the Abbaye may require a bit more stamina than normal. Suesa is a worthy favourite and has looked a top-class…

7f Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Grand Criterium) (Group 1) (2yo only) (New Course) (Turf) Ebro River brings genuine top class juvenile Group 1 form to the table here having won the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes and finished third in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes behind the highly rated Native Trail and…

7f Weld Park Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) 2yo) An interesting looking renewal of this Group 3 contest for two-year-old fillies. Lots of potential improvers here and the market has sided with the proven Group form of Sunset Shiraz. She has put in some strong runs for Gavin Cromwell, but remains…

6f (Row) Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) Sacred Bridge could be a superstar filly in the making and Ger Lyons will be expecting a big run from this daughter of Bated Breath. Unbeaten and looking more impressive with each run. She could prove hard to…

6f Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) Great Ambassador and Commanche Falls fought out a great finish in the Stewards’ Cup with the latter getting on top late on back in August. They represent the top two favourites in the market but both have been…

Lots of familiar names in the Irish St. Leger and who would put is passed Search For A Song winning three in a row. She should be primed for this although has certainly had a much lighter campaign leading into this race than most years. Twilight Payment also looked in…

This is a good looking renewal of the Group 1 Flying Five at The Curragh. Winter Power is a warm order favourite following her Nunthorpe win and would have been for this even without the boost given to that form from Emaraaty Ana’s win in the Group 1 Sprint Stakes.…

The pace appears to be drawn on either wings of the track whereas the main market principals are all drawn in the centre of the course. I think the stands’ side rail is where you want to be with fresher ground however only time will tell. Not a single horse…
