5f Betfair Each Way Edge Be Friendly Handicap (Class 2) There looks to be a very interesting runner in the shape of CAME FROM THE DARK in the Each Way Edge Handicap at 4pm at Haydock. Came From The Dark represents a lightly-raced son of Dark Angel at the age…

6f Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series (Class 1) The Sprint Cup takes places on the usual bottomless ground over at Haydock. There are a few in here that should enjoy these testing conditions, but there is a slight question mark over the favourite Dream Of Dreams…

Summerghand looks the clear one to beat after his victory in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood last time out. But he’s normally seen at his best, when he’s got a huge pace to run at, behind a big field and Summerghand has previously underperformed in races of this nature. The…

1m6f Sky Bet Ebor Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) This is a very competitive renewal of the Ebor with a fantastic looking line-up going to post. Fujaira Prince deserves his place at the front of the betting after an impressive victory at Royal Ascot. He has gone up 9lbs for…

It’s hard to rule any out in this quality looking fillies handicap for the three-year-olds at York. Asiaaf is current favourite and has been well-found in the market after a strong looking second at Glorious Goodwood in a Class 3 handicap previously. Virgin Snow is entitled to improve in the…

7f Unibet Hungerford Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) It looks like a fairly deep renewal of the Hungerford Stakes over at Newbury. Dream Of Dreams has a favourite’s chance based on the form of his second in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot. He has won over 7f earlier in…

6f Unibet Stewards’ Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) Three-year-olds have a good recent record in the Stewards’ Cup and I fancy MERAAS best out of that crop with Lexington Dash also making plenty of appeal. Meraas has made rapid improvement for Mark Johnston which has seen him claim three victories…

1m3f TDN Australia Handicap (Class 3) Lots of well-bred improving middle-distance types compete in the opener on Day 4 of Glorious Goodwood. The favourite Al Qaqaa put in a much improved performance last time out over this trip and has been given a 9lbs rise in the process. However, this…

Mark Johnston has won this three-year-old handicap three times over the last seven years with Communique winning it for him back in 2018 off a mark of 97. To win at Glorious Goodwood requires a horse with a good constitution and plenty of toughness. ZABEEL CHAMPION has shown this in…

2m4½f Unibet You’re On Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) This is a competitive looking renewal of this staying handicap. True Destiny heads the market at 4/1, but isn’t that solid a favourite. You’d expect Summer Moon to set the pace in this and he’s entitled to bounce back from a disappointing…
