Last year’s Sandown’s Solario Stakes has produced the Derby winner Masar, to go along with an illustrious role of honour for this Group Three, and while I would be surprised to see next year’s Derby winner come out of this race, we’ve got a good renewal to get stuck into.…
1pt win Ayutthaya @11/2, 15:55 Beverley, Saturday
The jolly is Team Decision and he is on a four-timer here having been raised another 6lbs for his latest victory. He hasn’t necessarily looked like he has had bundles in-hand on official ratings, on either of his last two starts, and a wide-draw seals his fate as a horse to take on…
0.75pts each-way Whiskey Sour @7/1, 0.75pts each-way Nakeeta @11/1, 15:40 York, Saturday
Stratum has been punted off the boards for the Ebor Handicap ever since he hosed up in the JLT Cup at Newbury last month. He looks like the type that could go in again off just an 8lbs higher mark, but there is no juice left in his price at…
1pt win Seniority @8/1, 13:50 York, Saturday
There’s a lot to like about the Queen’s SENIORITY in the opener at York on Saturday, as he’s rapidly progressing through handicaps and won his last one with any amount in hand. Last off the bridle by a long way, he shot through a gap when asked looking like a Group…
2pts win Dreamfield @9/4 16:05 Newmarket, Saturday
DREAMFIELD looks a banker for Listed success at Newmarket on Saturday, provided he can hold form with the dangerous Limato, who has been a shadow of his former self this season. Dreamfield has finished second in the Wokingham and sixth in a July Cup this season, beating some very good horses…
1pt win Altyn Orda @9/2, 14:05 Goodwood, Saturday
We can take on Beat The Bank in this Group Two at Goodwood, where he was a bit disappointing on his previous start in the Group One Sussex Stakes. He carries a Group Two penalty and that leaves him vulnerable, though he is the clear form horse. Following Stormy Antarctic…
Day three York tips: Legends Of War (9/1) and Heartache (50/1)
Put a gun to my head and ask what my favourite race of the flat season is, and I might just say the flying five furlongs of the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes at York’s Ebor meeting. Memories of Sole Power’s twin successes; that brilliant year where Mecca’s Angel ran down…
1pt win Old Persian @16/1, 15:00 York, Wednesday
Until they start winning again, I’m not going to be backing any of Aidan O’Brien’s runners at York this week given the yard has been under a cloud with a well-documented illness affecting the horses. That includes Kew Gardens who was forced to miss the King George just as his…
Juddmonte International Stakes preview and selection
York’s Ebor meeting, their biggest of the year, kicks off on Wednesday and the Group One Juddmonte International Stakes is the highlight of a top-class card. We’ve a proper renewal to look forwards to with winners of the 2000 Guineas, Dubai Turf, Prince Of Wales’ Stakes, King George, Eclipse, Irish…
1pt ante-post win Angel's Hideaway @6/1, Lowther Stakes, York
York’s big Ebor meeting kicks off on Wednesday, which is a firm favourite of ours having provided plenty of winners down the years, including our biggest ever in 100/1 shot Arabian Queen back in 2015. Final declarations for Wednesday have been made today (Monday 20th) with Cracksman the biggest withdrawal…
