Newmarket 1.50 Capulet looks to hold strong claims to me form wise. The one that beat him last time out is a short price for the Doncaster Futurity Trophy Stakes & the 4th that day has since gone on to win the Alan Smurfit Memorial Beresford Stakes ( Group 2 ) in taking style. Aablan …

Newmarket 1.50 A very tight opening Listed race with Coppice currently favourite , I can see it but she has been very poor the last twice admittedly in better class , but she is not one I would go overboard with. Stable mate Queen For You is still unexposed and makes the most appeal. But …

Ayr 1.15 Isla Kai is currently heading the market & has been pretty consistent this season , although this looks a deeper race than the last one. Titan Rock is another in the same vain of form , but is hardly well weighted. Revich is the class angle & has won here before , but …

Doncaster 1.50 A small field opening contest & one that should be at the mercy of Rosallion. He looks a very promising type & should have too much for the main rival Iberian who was second in a below par group 2. No bet Chester 2.05 Yet another odds on favourite in the shape of …

1.50 War Rooms won with plenty in hand over C&D on his debut run and while that looks impressive enough he was racing on the favoured part of the track that day which imparted a bias to the results , so may be he is not as good as that made him look. Dancing Gemini …

1.50 Plenty of in form fillies in this opening race. I am surprised how short in the betting Chic Colombine is , while I can see she has a strong chance it looks a way more competitive race than her price suggests. Bellarchi has won her last 3 & I would have those two much …

1.35 Bay Bridge has plenty going for him on the face of it , dropping back in class from Group 1’s & does have winning all weather form. But for me this distance poses a big question mark and trying if for the 1st time aged 5 in this grade is not something I would …

Chester 1.35 As always the low drawn horses are the one to be interested in at this venue. Stall 1 goes to Lord Bertie who won an egg and spoon maiden by double digits last time out , this is much stronger however and the price is very short. Positive Impact has front run in …
York Day 4
1.50 Nostrum is rightly the short priced favourite , he seemed to be undone by the sticky ground at Goodwood , but the form of his victory before that looks strong. El Drama is a very surprising 2nd favourite as quick ground is not what he wants & he has looked rather tricky at times. …
York Day 3
1.50 Balance Play looks to be progressing nicely , has been hit hard by the handicapper though & this could be a bridge too far. Wootton’Sun bids to give the former champ a goodbye winner & is another that has been very consistent , but again has gone up plenty in the weights. One I …
