6f Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+ 0-110) The two for me in this are COMPLETELY RANDOM and ZOUM ZOUM. Completely Random continues to be steadily progressive for Harry Charlton and his hold-up style should suit him down to the ground here. I like sprinters by Havana Grey and…

7f Jersey Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) I form of MARVELMAN has a very solid look to it with him finishing just behind Irish 2000 Guineas second Cosmic Year in a 7f Listed race at Newmarket. He had recent winner, Diego Ventura behind and in fourth was La Botte…

7f Chesham Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (2yo) Treanmoor is an exciting looking player for Godolphin in the Chesham Stakes and could rout this field after his debut performance. He’s clearly a short but probably fair price here. I’m less keen on the chances of Moments Of Joy who also…

6f Albany Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) No filly on this line-up has as good form early in her career as GREEN SENSE, who beat a bunch of decent colts on debut before bumping into potentially the best filly in the juvenile sprinting division in Lady Iman in…

6f Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo)  Shadow Of Light put in a storming run in the 2000 Guineas and should have no problem stepping back in trip from a mile to 6f, but he still got going fairly late on at Newmarket and his odds are pretty short for…

1m4f (1m3f211y) King George V Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3yo 0-105) Merchant looks like he could be a very exciting colt for Highclere, but he is an incredibly short-price in what is a very deep handicap. He also has to defy a wide draw in stall 20.…

2m4f (2m3f210y) Gold Cup (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) The complexion of the staying division has been hugely disrupted with the retirement of Kyprios earlier in the season. Aidan O’Brien might have a new heir to the throne in Illinois waiting in the wings but he is yet to try…

1m6f (1m6f34y) Queen’s Vase (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo) I’m not sure there is a standout performer in this line-up. It could be Asmarani for the Aga Khan, but you’d be taking a massive risk on him handling the ground consider he is by a stallion in Sottsass that has…

1m (Str) Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) What a cracking way to start the meeting with a hugely competitive Group 1. There are many chances from the Locking Stakes competing here and Rosallion might be the pick of that bunch. He needed his comeback run and I…

5f King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) Asfoora chases back-to-back wins in this race, however she comes here without a UK prep run and off-the-back of a comprehensive defeat in Australia last time out so perhaps she is not quite in the same form as last year.…
