1m6f (1m5f188y) Sky Bet Ebor Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4yo+) Earl Of Tyrone has been all the rage for this event over the last few weeks with Paddy Twomey’s yard attracting plenty of attention. He is potentially well-in for this race, but he is yet to encouter a handicap…

5f  Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)  (Class 1) (2yo+) The favourite can be taken on at the prices, as her York form leaves a lot to be desired. I like the 2yo second favourite but you just can’t back a horse of that profile at around 3/1. Surely…

6f  Sky Bet Lowther Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies) (IRE Incentive Race)  (Class 1) (2yo) This race revolves around Dramatised’s stamina for 6f, which is never guaranteed for 5f sprinters going up in trip. She’s a worthy favourite but I’m taking her on with KINTA at 10/1. Kinta was 2/2 on the all weather…

1m4f Darley Yorkshire Oaks (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) A fascinating renewal for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks and I think the market has got this wrong with Alpinista currently a 2/1 favourite. She has been very consistent this season winning five on the bounce…

7f Tattersalls Acomb Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (2yo) A muddling race with no standout, though the level of form showed by Mill Stream is probably the best on offer and 3/1 is a fair price. The bet in the race is OVIEDO (10/1) who won very easily at Doncaster and travelled like…

1m4f (1m3f188y) Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) Godolphin’s favourite Secret State can be taken on here as he’s got no Group race experience and has graduated through the handicap ranks. That William Buick chooses him over the disappointing Walk Of Stars rules him out too. AIKHAL…

6f Coral Stewards’ Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) The Stewards’ Cup is a race which has tended to go towards a classy horse carrying a big weight as opposed to a well-handicapped runner off a light burden in recent years. The draw is also always very difficult to predict…

1m  Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes (Group 3)  (Class 1) (3yo) The Group One form of BAYSIDE BOY stands out in this field and I’m a little surprised he isn’t favourite. His St James’ Palace run was visually okay but the bare form of being beaten 2l by Coroebus, in addition to his juvenile efforts,…

1m2f  (1m1f197y) Qatar Nassau Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Fillies & Mares)  (Class 1) (3yo+) All being well, Nashwa should win this race and there’s not a whole lot wrong with even money quotes as she looks the ‘proper’ Group One horse in the race. Dreamloper will go well but I fancy Johnny…

1m4f John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) The Derby form is put on the line here with several coming into this to contest the Gordon Stakes. Hoo Ya Mal would be the obvious place to start having finished second in the Classic. He is fancied to…
