2pts win

Frontiersman is by far the class horse in this race, and looks a tempting price at 10/3 based on what he has achieved so far this season, which includes running a close second to Highland Reel in the Coronation Cup. But I have some strong reservations about Frontiersman’s ability to…

It’s been a miserable week for punters and racegoers at Glorious Goodwood after torrential rain turned the track heavy and saw a sea of non-runners. Bookies have been having the best of things with huge-priced winners going in left, right and centre, and punting remains perilous going into the penultimate…

There were plenty of upsets yesterday at Glorious Goodwood with punters licking their wounds after the opening day of the meeting. It might not be any kinder for favourite backers on day two and Secret Adviser carries a few negatives that may mean he is worth taking on in the…

Glorious Goodwood starts on Tuesday and a large field of 15 go to post for the Group Two Lennox Stakes over the intermediate trip of seven furlongs. There’s no Group One in Britain over that trip and the prize money here is huge, which explains the presence of Henry Candy’s…

Success Days was a 4/1 winner yesterday while Ulysses was best of the rest behind flat racing’s new superstar Enable in the King George. A month of Sunday Group Ones at northern French track Deauville begins today, kicking off with the Prix Rothschild for the filly milers. With dual-Royal Ascot…

We’ve had some weak renewals of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes in recent seasons but the ten declared for Saturday’s edition buck that trend. Much of the pre-race speculation has been around the participation of dual-Oaks heroine Enable from John Gosden’s yard, and despite only running as…

The King George at Ascot takes centre stage on Saturday, rightfully so. But there is a nice looking Group 2 contest taking place at York earlier in the afternoon. The race has a wide-open feel with the removal of Eclipse third Desert Encounter, and the current favourite Autocratic doesn’t appear…

There’s a good looking renewal of the Listed John Smith’s City Walls Stakes at York this afternoon, with plenty of Group One horses having a go. With Caravaggio, Lady Aurelia, The Tin Man, Limato, Tasleet and Harry Angel somewhat dominating the sprinting division right now, some good horses are forced…

John Gosden enters the unexposed four-year-old TASHWEEQ in the Bunbury Cup and he has very likeable claims. He ran extremely well to finish a close third from a tough draw in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot last month, and is allowed to run off his same mark, officially 4lbs well-in. He picked…

Favourites have a poor recent record in the Old Newton Cup, and Shraaoh, could be another sort to join those ranks. He looks set to line-up as favourite after strong support in the ante-post market. His reappearance run was fairly underwhelming and he has yet prove the hype is true to…
