ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY looks the form horse in the opener on Ascot’s Saturday card, and 4/1 looks to have underestimated her chance. Ahead of her in the market are an impressive maiden winner in Scintilating and a Listed winner Royal Intervention, who looks very short at sub-2/1 – they both do.…

WELLS FARHH GO was an eye-catcher at Royal Ascot, attempting tactics which hadn’t worked for any runner on the round course the whole week: coming from off the pace on fast ground. He did make up ground at the finish and stayed on strongly to suggest the extra furlong of…

There are several horses in the Ribblesdale Stakes that contested the Oaks at Epsom a few weeks ago. However, the going conditions are extremely different at Royal Ascot with a more conventional stiff track and rattling-fast conditions to contend with. I don’t necessarily see those two factors and a 3lb…

Arod won this race back in 2015 and looked to have been laid out for this for David Simcock before his withdrawal. The seven-year-old came back to form last time out in a Listed contest and would have fancied his chances, but the fact that he is a non-runner could…

Saturday’s Epsom Derby has been a happy hunting ground for these pages in recent years, advising the winners of both renewals since our inception at odds of 11/1 and 40/1. Unlike those two years, we have a very strong favourite to overcome this time in 2000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, of…

We are not prepared to go against Cracksman in the Coronation Cup and Ajman King may have a lenient penalty for an impressive recent victory and could go in again for Roger Varian. So we turn our attention to the 14:35 Investec Mile Handicap which looks a little more open…

So Beloved has been competing in better company and is expected to put in a decent enough showing off of top-weight whilst Eastern Impact also looks well-treated on his old form but both haven’t won for a while. Golden Apollo could appreciate the step back up in trip for Tim…

It could be a cracking day for Andrea Atzeni, and Masaarr is likely to be extremely popular with punters in a day where we are massively on Addeybb. This Roger Varian chestnut-colt has looked a decent prospect on his four starts of which he has won two. The step up…

The newly refurbished and reopened ParisLongchamp – that’s not a typo, it’s one word now – hosts its first major meeting since the day Golden Horn won his Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe, with both the French 2000 Guineas and 1000 Guineas returning from their temporary home at Deauville. Arc…

No luck yesterday in what was a really difficult day of punting, but we’re nicely up for the week with three winners, including a 16/1 on Thursday, and look to Saturday’s closing Royal Ascot card to transform a good week into a great one. Saturday isn’t much easier but there…
