1m Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Group 1) (3yo Fillies) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo) Romantic Style has the best form as the 2nd 3rd and 4th in her reappearance have run to a high level since. However a wide draw makes life tough for her. FOLGARIA proved her Italian form…
1pt win Beauvatier @8/1, 1pt win Keran @20/1, 15:30 Longchamp, Sunday
1m Emirates Poule d’Essai des Poulains (Group 1) (3yo Colts) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo) A super competitive renewal that’s attracted a big field. Henry Longfellow trades a short favourite for Aidan O’Brien but his form doesn’t add up to too much as he’s mostly beaten the same horses and a…
0.75pts each-way Mgheera @16/1, 16:40 Longchamp, Sunday
5f Prix de Saint-Georges (Group 3) (3yo+) (Sprint Course) (Turf) (3yo+) Vicious Harry looked an improved performer on his last sprint start, but he has been given the outside draw here at Longchamp and that is a massive disadvantage. Low numbers generally have the better of it and I’m inclined…
1pt win Madame De Sevigne @15/2, 16:10 Lingfield, Saturday
7f William Hill Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) (3yo 0-80) MADAME DE SEVIGNE has looked fairly progressive, despite not getting her head in front in her first four career starts. She has her handicap debut here and a mark of 77 may prove lenient for this daughter of Night Of Thunder.…
1pt win Great Generation @5/2, 15:35 Lingfield, Saturday
7f William Hill Chartwell Fillies’ Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo+) Remarquee put in some huge performances last season in Group 1 company, but this is her first start of the season and she has to give away 12lbs to GREAT GENERATION who has been getting better and better with…
1pt each-way Forza Orta @11/1, 0.5pts each-way Too Friendly @20/1, 15:40 Chester, Friday
2m2½f Duke Of Westminster Supporting The Chester Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4yo+) It’s one of the oldest handicaps in Britan and one suited to a certain type of staying specialist. There are a small number of potentially progressive types in here but they have all largely been very well…
1pt win Capulet @4/1, 15:05 Chester, Thursday
1m2½f (1m2f70y) Boodles Raindance Dee Stakes (Listed Race) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) CAPULET is just the wrong price here at 4/1 in a five runner race. His juvenile form is comfortably the best on show here given he finished upsides Al Musmak in the Royal Lodge, and that ties in closely with…
1pt win Cadogan Place @8/1, 15:40 Chester, Wednesday
1m4½f (1m4f63y) Boodles Chester Vase Stakes (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) Aiden O’Brien’s stable form is a little iffy at present and it’s worth taking on his shorties until his strike rate picks up to his usual standards. At the prices I can’t justify how Godolphin’s Hidden Law can be a…
1pt win Beeley @10/1, 15:05 Chester, Wednesday
1m3½f Weatherbys E-Passport Cheshire Oaks (Listed Race) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) There doesn’t appear to be a stand-out filly in the Cheshire Oaks. Aidan O’Brien normally sends a good one over to this meeting and Port Fairy steps out of maiden company in search of some black type. She would…
1pt win Ecureuil Secret @8/1, 14:25 Curragh, Monday
1m Coolmore Stud Paddington Irish EBF Tetrarch Stakes (Listed) (3yo) 1/4 1-2 There’s a good shape to this market as I’m not sure the odds-on fav Samuel Colt deserves to be so short. He’s won a maiden and placed in a Group Three and has to prove he stays a…
