At 10/1 I’m backing the French filly FIRST OF SPRING in the opening Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc day at Chantilly this Sunday. An easy winner of her first two starts, she’s never raced at this level but her trainer Jean-Claude Rouget was quoted saying he’s having a hard time splitting her and…

The Prix De l’Abbaye is the final European five-furlong Group One sprint of the season, and this year’s renewal takes place at Chantilly as its usual home of Longchamp is being redeveloped. We tipped last year’s winner Goldream at 8/1, and he’s back for more. This season has been less…

This looks a highly-competitive renewal of the Middle Park Stakes, a six-furlong Group One for two-year-olds. Blue Point trades favourite after an authoritative win in the Gimcrack at York, where he had today’s opponents Mubtasim and Mokarris behind. Whilst Mubtasim bounced back to form next time out, I don’t see…

Newmarket hosts its Cambridgeshire meeting and Friday’s card contains two Group Twos – the first of which, the Rockfel Stakes, looks worth a play. Fair Eva, sired by the mighty Frankel, lost her unbeaten record to another Frankel filly, Queen Kindly, last time out in the Lowther Stakes at York…

Just the one pick this weekend, with ROBIN OF NAVAN backed to bounce back to form at Newbury. Some 70cm+ rain has fallen at the track this week and the soggy going is right up his street, as he was a Group One winner last season on a similar surface.…

Excuse the late selection, but I’ve just seen YORKER is running in a Listed race at Sandown this afternoon, and he looks big at 9/4. A Grade 1-winner in South Africa, he’s been switched over to William Haggis’s yard in England and made a fine reappearance behind Scottish at York’s Ebor meet.…

The Group One Vincent O’Brien National Stakes has been won by some exceptional colts in the past, and the winner here could be a serious contender for the Classics next season. It’s difficult to look beyond the first two in the betting, with Aiden O’Brien’s Churchill (three from four), and…

A trial for the Arc itself, the Group Two Prix Neil runs at Chantilly on Sunday and Japanese Derby winner Makahiki is a tight odds-on price to advertise his claims for the Arc itself, where he is up with the favourites. He looks like Japan’s leading hope this year but…

It’s been a fantastic month for us with plenty of winners and two more added on Saturday’s Leopardstown card, with Alice Springs (6/1) and Almanzor (15/2) landing the Group Ones. The Almanzor form looks rock-solid now so we’ve got to back ZARAK in Sunday’s Prix Moulin at Chantilly, a trial for the Foret…
