13:50 Newmarket – Flying Honours
FLYING HONOURS has 10lb in hand on official ratings after two impressive wins at Sandown and Salisbury, and the latter win has already been franked when the runner-up bolted up in the Haynes Hanson & Clark. The Foxes appeals for the forecast more than Greenland, whose current price reflects his connections rather than his form.
14:05 Haydock – Young Fire
YOUNG FIRE has a handicap record at 7f/1m on ground softer than good which reads: 16641416612224, which improves to 1114 here at Haydock. He’s now 5lb lower than when a good fourth over the extended 7f here in July, when the ground was riding quicker than the official description, and he can go well.

14:25 Newmarket – Meditate
MEDITATE ran into something very special when runner-up in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, and the daughter of No Nay Never will benefit from both the quicker ground here, and the drop back to six furlongs. She clearly stays seven, but the feature of her Moyglare effort was how well she quickened off the front when asked, and she will be well served by this sharper test on that evidence.

14:40 Haydock – Nomadic Empire
NOMADIC EMPIRE has form figures of 1143044 in the past year when racing on good or softer ground and he has returned to form since tried in a visor in recent starts, looking likely to win until his run flattened out late at York’s Ebor meeting, and he backed that up when beaten just a length and a half into fourth in the Portland Handicap. The slight drop in trip should help
15:00 Newmarket – Marshman
MARSHMAN is a narrow pick to confirm the promise of his Gimcrack effort in a competitive Dewhurst Stakes. Marshman was no match for Noble Style at York, but was well clear of the others. Blackbeard has won both the Prix Robert Papin and the Prix Morny, but the form is not outstanding, and I fancy Karl Burke’s son of Harry Angel to prove the more progressive of the pair.

15:40 Newmarket – Lucander & Arqoob
LUCANDER ran a fine race to be second in this race as a three-year-old, and has been shaping as if another big handicap could be his for the taking this season, and he is the main bet, with the addition of blinkers a positive for a horse who can race behind the bridle at times.
ARQOOB won at Sandown earlier in the summer, and has maintained that level of form. He made the frame in good handicaps at Sandown and Yarmouth last month, and the booking of 7lb claimer Connor Planas is a big positive. Both selections are drawn very high, which is historically where you need to be in this race.
