2m2f (Row) Together For Racing International Cesarewitch Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) Willie Mullins has his sights set on a magical fourth Cesarewitch in a row and with him throwing six darts at the race, he’s probably a short price to do it again. M C Muldoon currently heads…
1pt win Wild Beauty @12/1, 15:35 Newmarket, Friday
1m (Row) bet365 Fillies’ Mile (Group 1) (Class 1) (2yo) Inspiral is all the rage for this after facile wins in her three starts to date, and there aren’t really any negatives besides price and the fact that she’s up against improving fillies. There’s a nice shape to this market if you want to…
1pt win Chrono Genesis @12/1, 15:05 Longchamp, Sunday
1m4f Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Group 1) (3yo+ No Geldings) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) Adayar‘s defeat of Mishriff in the King George is the standout form going into Sunday’s Arc, backing up his impressive Derby win to confirm him a serious Group One animal. He has stronger claims than the…
1pt win Pearls Galore @9/1, 17:00 Sunday, Longchamp
7f Qatar Prix de la Foret (Group 1) (3yo+) (New Course) (Turf) (3yo+) The ground will be pretty horrendous come 5pm on Arc day and the Foret could be a proper slog to finish the Group 1 proceedings. I am massive fan of Space Blues, and earlier this week he…
1pt win A Case Of You @11/1, 16:25 Sunday, Longchamp
5f Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (Group 1) (2yo+) (Sprint Course) (Turf) (2yo+) With the going set to be extremely heavy on Sunday at Longchamp, the usual short-trip in the Abbaye may require a bit more stamina than normal. Suesa is a worthy favourite and has looked a top-class…
1pt win Grand Glory @10/1, 15:50 Longchamp, Sunday
1m2f Prix de l’Opera Longines (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) GRAND GLORY and Frankie Dettori look the value at 10/1 to land the Opera given the mare beat race favourite Audarya fair and square last time out and is several times the price. Grand Glory has form…
1pt win Accakaba @5/1, 13:50 Longchamp, Sunday
7f Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Grand Criterium) (Group 1) (2yo only) (New Course) (Turf) Ebro River brings genuine top class juvenile Group 1 form to the table here having won the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes and finished third in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes behind the highly rated Native Trail and…
1pt win Zellie @12/1, 1pt win Natasha @12/1, 13:15 Longchamp, Sunday
1m Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac – Criterium des Pouliches (Group 1) (2yo Fillies) (Grande Course) (Turf) (2yo) Raclette is spoken of in glowing terms by trainer Andre Fabre, but with the alarm bells already sounding over the state of the ground, I’m all over her stablemate ZELLIE for this race. With form…
1pt win Saiydabad @6/1, 16:00 Longchamp, Saturday
1m2f (1m1f165y) Qatar Prix Dollar (Group 2) (3yo+) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) SAIYDABAD has strong claims here as an improving three-year-old available at 6/1. If it were to become heavy ground it wouldn’t suit, but I don’t see many in this race that want a bog and the rain isn’t forecast until after…
1pt each-way Epona Plays @20/1, 14:55 Newmarket, Saturday
1m (Row) Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) I backed EPONA PLAYS in the Matron Stakes in her first run in two and a half months, where she stayed on for 5th, beaten less than two lengths on ground that might have been on the fast…
