1pt double Muhaarar, Covert Love @16/1, Ascot 17th October
Muhaarar is a worthy favourite for Saturday’s Champions Sprint Stakes. The form of his three Group One victories this season – not to mention his Greenham Stakes win in April – has been franked time and again, ranking the best in Europe. 9/4 is short, but a repeat of his course and…
1PT EW Ooty Hill @14/1, Darley Stakes Grp 3, Newmarket 17:35
Frankie Dettori rides another Anthony Oppenheimer horse one week on from his triump in the Arc. Ooty Hill was fancied for great things this season and having finished second to pattern filly Star of Seville at Newbury in April, he came back off a five month break to finish behind Eagle Top…
1pt ew Steve Rogers @25/1, Newmarket 15:50
I’m yet to tip a handicapper to date, but there’s a first time for everything and I’m keen on the chances of Roger Varian’s Steve Rogers in the Cesarewich – one of the silliest races in the calendar. 34 runners – thirty four – over 18 furlongs at Newmarket. It always…
1pt ew Tiercel @20/1, Newmarket 14:35
Hugo Palmer’s Gifted Master makes a quick reappearance for this mile Group Three after routing a decent field at Newmarket last weekend. He broke like a bullet and didn’t slow down, winning by a handful of lengths. Whether that took anything out of him remains to be seen but it…
1pt win First Victory @5/1, Newmarket 14:05
Godolphin’s strong crop of two-year-olds might get better today with First Victory taken to land this fillies’ Group Three and improve on her impressive first victory over course and distance a fortnight ago. Raced just once, she had Sir Michael Stoute’s Aristocratic back in third on her maiden with a similar winning…
1pt win Promising Run @13/2, 1pt win Marenko @28/1, Newmarket 15:10
The Group-One Dubai Fillies’ Mile is one of the richest juvenile races in Europe and, with so many of these coming off the back of big performances, this year’s renewal looks a really tough nut to crack. Ryan Moore chooses Minding over the ambitiously-named Coolmore (Joseph O’Brien), which looks a…
1PT Win Move In Time @11/1, 1PT Win Goldream @8/1, Prix De L'Abbaye, Longchamp 15:40
This year’s renewal of the Prix de l’Abbaye has a very different complexion than anticipated several weeks ago with the omission of ante-post favourite Mecca’s Angel and decent conditions underfoot. In reality, this blows the contest wide open and not many could have excuses over the ground other than the…
1pt win Make Believe @6/1, Longchamp 16:50
One of my favourite races of the year, the Prix de la Foret is run over seven furlongs and often goes to a hold-up horse. The brilliant Moonlight Cloud’s 2013 success is the shining example, but this year’s quicker ground might change the race tactically. Track position will now be more important…
1pt ew Erupt @33/1, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Longchamp 14:55
It’s Arc weekend at Longchamp and it’s all about the unprecedented, hat-trick seeking Treve. Win or lose, she’s already up with the all-time greats and, in a cruel sporting irony quite unique to flat racing, it’s near-certain to be the last time she’s seen on track. Unusually for October, Longchamp has basked in sunshine…
