5f Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (Grade 1) (3yo+) (Turf) (3yo+) I’m keen to take on Live In The Dream, the surprise Nunthorpe winner, purely on the grounds the European 5f division is poor at the moment and he was beaten on his first start in America. On balance that was a good…

1m FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund (Grade 1) Super competitive. The form horse is Songline who bagged two domestic Grade 1s over the summer, but she’s a big mare who likes to come from off the pace and she’s going to have to from her…

1m2f Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (Grade 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Hillside) (Turf) (3yo+) WARM HEART should be favourite for this race over the mercurial Inspiral, who to my eye has a lot to prove at this trip. Inspiral can sulk and her tendency to completely blow out…

1m Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade 1) (2yo Fillies) (Turf) (2yo) The European challenge in this race looks weak this year after Opera Singer wasn’t entered and Aidan O’Brien only sends the disappointing Content, who needed every yard of the soft ground mile to win last time. Carla’s Way and Porta…

The European challenge in this race looks weak this year after Opera Singer wasn’t entered and Aidan O’Brien only sends the disappointing Content, who needed every yard of the soft ground mile to win last time. Carla’s Way and Porta Fortuna – along with plenty of the American team –…

1m7½f (Inner) Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup (Group 2) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) This time five weeks ago it would have been hard to see how TRUESHAN could go and win a fourth Long Distance Cup, but a Group 2 Doncaster Cup win and Group 1 Prix…

6f Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) The depth of the sprinting division has been questionable all season and with Shaquille out of proceedings the Champion Sprint looks fairly wide-open to me. Kinross could be the best chance of a winner on the…

1m (Str) Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By Qipco) (Group 1) (British Champions Mile) (Class 1) (3yo+) The switch to the inner track favours those who don’t want a bog and for that reason Mostahdaf deserves favoritism. A line through Nashwa suggests he has a slender collateral form edge over…

1m3½f (1m3f133y) (Inner) Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) I’m pretty sweet on JACKIE OH here. She has a similar profile to 2017 winner Hydrangea in that she’s a Galileo who’s never tried 12f before and comes into this race off…

2m2f (Row) Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) A race dominated by the Irish, National Hunt horses and Willie Mullins in particular in recent years, but the master jumps trainer is probably heading to Newmarket more in hope than in expectation given the credentials of his runners.…
