13:50 Patient Dream
ITV coverage Thursday begins with this handicap over 1m2f. This is wide open. Ground conditions will be key and the one who loves juice is PATIENT DREAM for Ralph Beckett and Ray Dawson. The gelding has less than 8st on his back including the rider’s claim and as an in form runner who stays strong he should have each way claims at the very least.
NEW TO PADDY POWER?
14:25 Ebro River
Now the Group 2 Richmond Stakes for youngsters over 6f. Not many of these have tired soft ground. EBRO RIVER is exposed and was beaten into fourth at Newmarket last time in the July Stakes behind Lusail. That said, he brings a decent level of form and has performed with aplomb when there has been juice in the going. Should run well for James Doyle.
15:00 Third Realm
This is the Group 3 Gordon Stakes for 3yo over 1m4f. THIRD REALM was a fair fifth in the Derby behind Adayar and may be capable of better than that. The Roger Varian runner had beaten Adayar on soft in the Lingfield Derby Trial so the ground should be no issue. Adrea Atzeni takes the ride and expects him to take some beating. Wordsworth will also go well as a strong stayer.
15:35 Joan Of Arc
Now the feature Group 1 Nassau Stakes over 1m2f. There’s a real problem here with lack of pace. With that in mind I think JOAN OF ARC should be very hard to beat for Aidan O’Brien. The French Oaks heroine can race prominently or lead if she needs to under Ryan Moore and it’s that tactical ability that makes her the selection in such a small field. The ground is no issue.
16:10 Aldbourne
The last race on ITV Thursday is this nursery handicap over 7f. ALDBOURNE might just be a very well handicapped horse after three runs and into a handicap. Trained by Andrew Balding, my hope has shown some form at Salisbury and Epsom with give in the ground and I think he will appreciate this test off a low weight under Hollie Doyle.

16:45 Typewriter
A maiden fillies’ stakes here over 7f. TYPEWRITER looked sure to improve after a debut at Windsor where she ran on strongly from off the pace doing her best work at the finish. Andrew Balding trains the Gleneagles offspring and if she handles the going she should go well for David Probert.
17:20 Isle of Lismore
Finally a handicap over 5f. Very hard event to sort out. ISLE OF LISMORE should give Oisin Murphy a decent spin for Robert Cowell. He has form on heavy.
So best of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
