It’s hard to rule any out in this quality looking fillies handicap for the three-year-olds at York. Asiaaf is current favourite and has been well-found in the market after a strong looking second at Glorious Goodwood in a Class 3 handicap previously. Virgin Snow is entitled to improve in the…

6f  Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings)  (Class 1) (2yo) This is a race full of unexposed horses with strong claims. The one that jumps out to me on visual impression alone is UBETTABELIEVEIT for Oisin Murphy and Nigel Tinkler. He looks really fast, travels smoothly and has…

6f Sky Bet Lowther Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) Another good looking betting heat because Sacred heads the market at 2/1 and has to prove she stays 6f on what might be soft ground. We haven’t had soft ground much this season so the form book is of questionable value should…

1m2½f (1m2f56y) Juddmonte International Stakes (British Champions Series) (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) We’ve got a fine record in this race, having tipped 85/1, 7/2 and 6/1 winners from the last five renewals. 2020’s race is another good one despite some notable absentees forcing a field of only five. Ghaiyyath bosses the market after…

7f Tattersalls Acomb Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (2yo) This is my kind of race. The yard must be backing the favourite because he doesn’t stand out on form or pedigree, so he’s easy enough to take on. It’s much of a muchness for most of them so I’m looking for a decent…

This is a really hot race full of Group One winners whose form lines barely cross. Palace Pier is very short given the opposition and he shouldn’t be three times shorter than French ace Persian King. The bet I like in this race, given the heavy ground, is three-year-old filly…

7f Unibet Hungerford Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) It looks like a fairly deep renewal of the Hungerford Stakes over at Newbury. Dream Of Dreams has a favourite’s chance based on the form of his second in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot. He has won over 7f earlier in…

1m  Prix Rothschild (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Straight Course) (Turf)  (3yo+) Only six runners and I think that might suit SPEAK OF THE DEVIL‘s hold-up tactics, as she shouldn’t meet traffic problems. She was last off the bridle in the French Oaks and clearly didn’t stay, but she looked the…

6f Unibet Stewards’ Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) Three-year-olds have a good recent record in the Stewards’ Cup and I fancy MERAAS best out of that crop with Lexington Dash also making plenty of appeal. Meraas has made rapid improvement for Mark Johnston which has seen him claim three victories…

1m3f TDN Australia Handicap (Class 3) Lots of well-bred improving middle-distance types compete in the opener on Day 4 of Glorious Goodwood. The favourite Al Qaqaa put in a much improved performance last time out over this trip and has been given a 9lbs rise in the process. However, this…
