1m KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes (Group 2) (Registered as the Golden Fleece Stakes) (2yo) Diego Velazquez is short in the betting for next year’s Derby, and that double was achieved by his stablemate Auguste Rodin this June. O’Brien clearly targets this race with top middle distance prospects so it’s difficult to see…
1pt win Nashwa 7/1, 15:20 Leopardstown, Saturday
1m2f Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1) (3yo+) A slightly odd betting market as race favourite King Of Steel is yet to win a Group One and the Derby form didn’t stand up well against the older generation in the King George. I like him a lot and this…
1pt win Lethal Levi @12/1, 1pt win Mums Tipple @12/1, 16:10 York, Saturday
6f Sky Bet Constantine Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) Both MUMS TIPPLE and LETHAL LEVI have got excellent course form at York and are extremely well-suited by fast underfoot conditions. Mums Tipple showed he was in great heart earlier this season with a striking run to finish 4th in the Wokingham…
1pt win Jehangeer 14/1, 15:00 York, Friday
6f Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) JEHANGEER looks a very obvious value selection here. He’s a full brother to a Group One sprinter Hellow Youmzain and his form to date has plenty of substance. Second to the subsequent Coventry Stakes second…
1pt win Nashwa @9/1, 15:35 York, Wednesday
1m2½f (1m2f56y) Juddmonte International Stakes (British Champions Series) (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) Only four runners but they set a high standard between them. Paddington will take all the beating whilst Mostahdaf is the highest rated turf horse in Europe. Either could win but the value lies with NASHWA on…
1pt win Castle Way @7/2, 15:00 York, Wednesday
1m4f Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) All of the hype obviously surrounds Gregory for the Great Voltigeur and whilst the current St. Leger favourite has clearly got a fantastic chance, I’m not overly convinced the drop back in trip from his Royal…
1pt win Islandsinthestream 8/1, 15:27 Curragh, Saturday
7f Coolmore Stud Wootton Bassett Irish EBF Futurity Stakes (Group 2) Named after the legend himself, Wootton Bassett can sire the winner of this race and upset the crazy short priced Coolmore favourite with his unexposed son ISLANDSINTHESTREAM. He’s one from one and did something unusual at Curragh on debut…
1pt win Monsieur Kodi @11/2, 1pt win Sophias Starlight @11/1, 15:15 Ripon, Saturday
6f William Hill Great St Wilfrid Handicap (Class 2) (3yo+) It generally pays to be drawn high in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap except when there is rain about. And overnight there is plenty of thunderstorms that could mean the ground is closer to soft rather than good for this…
1pt win Mostabshir 8/1, 15:35 Newbury, Saturday
7f (Str) BetVictor Hungerford Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) MOSTABSHIR has only ever run over a mile but I think this 7f trip will be the key to him. He showed a sharp turn of foot after a steady galop at York earlier in the season and is by…
1pt win Time Lock @7/1, 15:00 Goodwood, Saturday
1m6f Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) Evens favourite Free Wind doesn’t appear to take a lot of racing. She’s clear on form but has only made it to the track three times since 2021 and couldn’t follow up her impressive win first time out this season…
