It was bottomless at Haydock on Saturday but quick ground remains over the channel at Longchamp where an excellent bunch contest the Prix du Moulin. Sussex Stakes 1-2 Lightening Spear and Expert Eye head the betting, which sounds about right as that’s probably the best form in this race. Lightening…

There are several promising looking three-year-old fillies in the 15:20 at Ascot, and plenty of support for Sheikha Reika at the top of the market. The Roger Varian filly has certainly got some ability having finished in the first two on all five of her starts being turned over at odds-on on…

Harry Angel is back to defend his Haydock Sprint Cup crown after missing the defence of his July Cup title due to a messy injury sustained in the stalls at Royal Ascot. Despite boasting the track record at Haydock and being very ground versatile, the question marks over his antics…

Last year’s Sandown’s Solario Stakes has produced the Derby winner Masar, to go along with an illustrious role of honour for this Group Three, and while I would be surprised to see next year’s Derby winner come out of this race, we’ve got a good renewal to get stuck into.…

The jolly is Team Decision and he is on a four-timer here having been raised another 6lbs for his latest victory. He hasn’t necessarily looked like he has had bundles in-hand on official ratings, on either of his last two starts, and a wide-draw seals his fate as a horse to take on…

Stratum has been punted off the boards for the Ebor Handicap ever since he hosed up in the JLT Cup at Newbury last month. He looks like the type that could go in again off just an 8lbs higher mark, but there is no juice left in his price at…

There’s a lot to like about the Queen’s SENIORITY in the opener at York on Saturday, as he’s rapidly progressing through handicaps and won his last one with any amount in hand. Last off the bridle by a long way, he shot through a gap when asked looking like a Group…

DREAMFIELD looks a banker for Listed success at Newmarket on Saturday, provided he can hold form with the dangerous Limato, who has been a shadow of his former self this season. Dreamfield has finished second in the Wokingham and sixth in a July Cup this season, beating some very good horses…

We can take on Beat The Bank in this Group Two at Goodwood, where he was a bit disappointing on his previous start in the Group One Sussex Stakes. He carries a Group Two penalty and that leaves him vulnerable, though he is the clear form horse. Following Stormy Antarctic…

Put a gun to my head and ask what my favourite race of the flat season is, and I might just say the flying five furlongs of the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes at York’s Ebor meeting. Memories of Sole Power’s twin successes; that brilliant year where Mecca’s Angel ran down…
