Ribchester has the best form on paper going in to the Breeder’s Cup Turf Mile, with multiple Group 1 victories during what has been a fairly busy campaign. He is arguably, one of the best Richard Fahey has ever trained, and you can be sure he will run a highly…

A really competitive looking Group 3 at Newbury on Saturday with Frontiersman heading the market at the puntable price of 4/1. He holds the best form on offer with his second to Highland Reel in the Coronation Cup, but he is yet to win at a higher grade than Listed…

The Balmoral Handicap has a slightly unusual complexion to it this year with two stand-out horses at the head of the market in Zabeel Prince and LORD GLITTERS, who are both racing off the same modest mark of 102. Roger Varian’s charge looks a Group horse in the making, but…

Thirty-four runners go to post in the Cesarewitch on Saturday with the jumps-trained John Constable the current 8/1 favourite. He is rated over 60lbs lower than his national hunt mark so he could be treated very nicely by the handicapper. With such great value on offer and eight places with…

Mojito has been very progressive this season, and this three-year-old may find himself in pattern company in the near future. The William Haggas colt has risen 21lbs this season and has to defy another 9lb rise here. With this being his toughest test to date, he is worth taking on…

There are further showers forecast at Haydock overnight with the ground already riding soft on Friday afternoon, so it looks set to be extremely testing conditions. The Group 1 Sprint Cup represents the main attraction on the card, but the 32Red Mile Group 3 later on looks a decent contest…

Take Cover looks set to blaze a trail from stall two in the Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes on Saturday. The last five winners of this race have been drawn in stall four or lower so he may have a small advantage after he bombed out in the Nunthorpe last weekend.…

Twenty entrants for the richest handicap race in Europe and Flymetothestars could have a great chance if transfering his all-weather form to the turf. The current 7/1 favourite is trained by Sir Mark Prescott, who is in great form having won the Nunthorpe with Marsha yesterday. He remains unexposed and…

The ominous Mullins-Ricci combination enter Thomas Hobson, who sits at the top of the market for the long-distance Lonsdale Cup on day three of the Ebor meeting. Thomas Hobson was a winner of the Class 2 Ascot Stakes at the Royal Meeting this year. Then he almost followed that up…

A wonderful looking few days of racing this week as the Ebor festival comes to the Knavesmire. We kick-off the week with a cracking Group 1 feature in the Juddmonte International Stakes where seven top-class runners go to post. It’s hard to imagine the likes of fully exposed Decorated Knight…
