which last-time-out winner can enhance their record?

Highstakesplayer, Ridgeway and Sheldon are the last-time-out winners in a strong race for the grade. Highstakes player ran to an RPR of 132 when scoring off an official rating of 114, while RidGeway recorded a 124 when bolting up off 108 and sheldon registered a 128 when a decisive 14-length winner off 109. Gemirande is a six-year-old with a 29 per cent strike-rate in handicap chases at Hereford.

Tom Lacey's Highstakesplayer is in good shape after his course-and-distance win. Richard Bandey's Ecume Atlantique won at Wetherby last term. Seamus Mullins' Sheldon has a bit of form and is expected to do well. Ridgeway won last time out. Dan Skelton's horse went up 8lb and he didn't want to run him under a 7lb penalty.

'To pull out again and hold off the second was a good performance'

It is quite unusual to see a horse placed in the Champion Bumper make his hurdles debut over a staying trip, but Cheltenham fourth Lecky Watson took it in his stride with victory in the 2m7f maiden hurdle for champion trainer Willie Mullins. The 4-7 favourite did not manage to win in five bumpers last season and looked far from certain to score…

consistent Commanche Falls out to add another Group race to his impressive CV

The Bengough Stakes has a solid recent history of preparing horses for the British Champions Sprint, held over the same course and distance two weeks later, but the trend may not be relevant this year. Form considerations aside, only Garrus, Jumby and Vadream hold entries. Garrus has the strongest chance of those three today. He shares the warm end…

St Leger hopeful Arrest takes on elders for the first time in bid to enhance staying claims in the Geoffrey Freer

In four of the past six years the Geoffrey Freer Stakes has shaken up the St Leger market and it is a shade of odds-on that a representative of the Classic generation will continue the trend.

who is looking forward to his runner stepping up in trip?

The Hampton Court had been looking like the first victim of Royal Ascot's expansion to seven-race cards. On the introduction in 2020 of the Golden Gates Stakes, a 0-105 handicap under otherwise similar conditions, this Group 3 dried up. Only twice in the 2010s did it fail to attract ten or more runners. From 2020 the field sizes have been eight,…

Twenty-eight renewals of this great race have been won by Irish-trained horses but incredibly six out of the last seven have gone our way and the last four in a row.
