2pts win

Last season we tipped 28/1, 8/1 and 8/1 winners on Ascot’s Champions Day – and while expecting a repeat of that is fanciful, the very soft ground courtesy of this very wet autumn is likely to mean some big prices go in across the six races. 6f  Qipco British Champions Sprint…

2m2f Emirates Cesarewitch Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) I love the Cesarewitch and this is another cracking renewal at Newmarket. Buildmeupbuttercup is quite rightly popular in the market with Frankie Dettori on board for last year’s winner Willie Mullins. The favourite looks a bit too short a price as…

1m  (Row) Dubai Autumn Stakes (Group 3)  (Class 1) (2yo) I’m a big fan of Night Of Thunder as a sire, but I can’t see why his son Molatham is such a short price for this. Soft ground shouldn’t be an issue but this is a very competitive race and 2/1 is very tight.…

We finished this year’s Arc meeting up a modest 2pts after two winners, and now attentions turn to Newmarket’s Future Champions meeting where the Fillies’ Mile headlines a strong Friday card. 1m (Row) bet365 Fillies’ Mile (Group 1) (Class 1) (2yo) My first comment is I suspect the market has this fairly spot-on when…

7f Qatar Prix de la Foret (Group 1) (3yo+) The Prix de la Foret market is headed by City Light, who finished down the field in the Prix de L’Abbaye on Arc day last season. He looked pretty impressive in a Group 3 over this course and distance three weeks…

Longchamp hosts its second Arc card since its makeover, and the big race itself revolves around Enable’s attempt to become the first horse to win the race for a third time – a feat last attempted by Treve in 2015. The only concern I had with her chance is the…

5f Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (Group 1) (2yo+) Battash is the best sprinter on the planet and has broken many a track record when the ground is fast. But the rain has plummeted down at Longchamp and it’s going to be on the heavy ground. Yes, Battash has…

11m6f  Qatar Prix de Royallieu (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf)  (3yo+) Oaks winner ANAPURNA looks an obvious bet against the favourite, Enbihaar, who has soft ground concerns and her collateral form looks weak. Anapurna can be forgiven a tame comeback run and should come on for it. She…

6f (Row) Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes (Group 1) (Colts) (Class 1) (2yo) Newmarket’s four autumn Group Ones for juveniles generally sort out the winter pecking order for both the aspiring milers and sprinters – and thanks to the rocket Pinatubo’s exploits this season, many of the best have avoided him in the 7f Dewhurst…

7f  (Row) Shadwell Rockfel Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies)  (Class 1) (2yo) Daahyeh sets a very high standard in this Group Two, but with the way the race is likely to be run I can see FESTIVAL DAY stealing it from the front. She looked awesome last time out galloping away from her rivals in…
