Charlie Hills’ 4 year-old CICEROS GIFT appears to both win or end seventh as they’re the one positions he occupied in his 5 profession begins up to now. We will write off his final run at Goodwood (completed seventh) as the bottom was very fast. He’s higher with some give within the floor and he’ll hopefully get that at Haydock. If he reveals his finest – he’ll go shut.
The going at Ascot is more likely to be very tender on Saturday as loads of rain is forecast. That tempers my enthusiasm for THE WIZARD OF EYE just a little who was very spectacular when successful at this monitor in Might over this 7f journey. He obtained caught flat-footed over 6f final time on the Royal assembly however the additional furlong and a return to handicap firm will play to his strengths. MISSION TO MOON will deal with any softening of the he floor in its place.
A 1m 6f handicap the place ROAD TO WEMBLEY has an each-way probability in opposition to Grasp Builder, who appears the one to beat. He’s obtained an excellent pedigree and might be a triple-digit performer in time. He’s gained over 2m at Newcastle on the all-weather and is unexposed on the turf.
He hasn’t fairly lived as much as the hype however SOLOMON is price one other probability. The William Haggas yard is in higher kind and he gained nicely at Haydock over 10f however then was crushed over 1m 4f at Ascot on Shergar Cup day. Callum Shepherd is reunited with him and that will assist. He might nonetheless be nicely handicapped and is my finest wager of the day.
The Previous Borough Cup over the identical 1m 6f journey the place KNIGHTSWOOD could make up for an unfortunate run at Goodwood and was crushed lower than two lengths in fifth. He didn’t keep 2m at York final time and is able to hitting the locations. Epic Poet appears the one to beat on his run at Goodwood however on the doubtless costs I’ll keep on with Knightswood.
Hamish gained this contest three years in the past however KALPANA might be the improver within the area. She gained very nicely at Hamilton final time and appears one to observe.
JERR BATT is one for the short-list offering the bottom isn’t too quick by race time as for as soon as there’s little rain forecast at Haydock. In the event you do see good to agency within the floor description, then TOCA MADERA appears an honest play.
There’s 14 runners declared so the draw could also be essential. VULTAR is drawn in stall six however needed to watch for his fifth begin to get off the mark on his handicap debut. His turf kind isn’t the most effective however was second at this venue within the qualifier for this contest. A particular each-way probability at a pleasant worth after declarations.
The function race of the day is the Group 1 Betfair Dash Cup over 6f the place I reckon ELITE STATUS can cement his place as a Group 1 sprinter. He has his points however is available in right here unbeaten this season. He can take a serious step ahead and be bang there. Stablemate Swingalong deserves a change of luck after strong runs when second within the QEII Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup.
