Newmarket 1.50 A nice handicap to open ITV proceedings today on the 2nd day of the July meeting. Tagabawa looks a good place to start , he ran ok at Ascot just finding the 12 furlongs a bit much , he drops back in trip & he still has more to offer at this trip. Stable mate Local Dynasty was another to run well at the Royal meeting , he was set a bit too much to do and ridden a bit more handy this time should see him well in the firing line. Last time out winner Seendid has ben handed a decent looking mark for the handicap debut , while the same cannot be said for Westerton who has been hit hard for a maiden win last time out. Bolster looked a decent type in his two novice wins and this is a drop in class from last time. No Bet Advised
York 2.05 Northern Express has been running well this season and has a decent record at this venue. Another Investment is a tricky type & I would not be that confident on him backing up the last time out win. Both Vafortino & Bopedro ran similar races in the same handicap at Royal Ascot & they have more to do in this , similar comments apply to Zip who is more an all-weather horse than turf. No Bet Advised
Newmarket 2.25 Another uncompetitive Group race with a desperately small field . Star Of Mystery should win , but at 1/3 its a race to easily swerve
York 2.40 Swingalong stands head and shoulders above this field on form and should take all the beating. Royal Aclaim has be rather underwhelming this season & this try at 6f looks bit of a swing in the dark. Mammas Girl is dropping back in trip but has plenty to find in my book. Advised Bet Swingalong looks a decent price @ 15’8 , 2pt win
Newmarket 3.00 Aimeric is stepping back up 1m6f and having run poorly twice last season it’s hard to understand why connections are trying once again ! Kihavah is on a roll of 4 straight wins , but this looks the toughest test to date. Torcello is in need of soft ground & if the rain was to hit he would be of some interest. But the one that stands out to me is Live Your Dream who ran a blinder at Royal Ascot after a good comeback run the time before , he can make up for lost time and get back on the score sheet in this weaker race. Advised Bet Live Your Dream 1pt win @ 5’2
Newmarket 3.35 I am not a fan of current favourite Via Sistina she just looks a tricky type & at 7’4 she can be passed over. Nashwa has the best form from last season and Remarquee goes for Wathnan Racing who scored with both runners at Royal Ascot and seem to be targeting these Group races with high class purchases. Advised Bet Remarquee 1pt win @ 9’2
