14:30 – Noche Magica (NAP)
15:05 – Bertinelli
15:40 – Al Asifah
16:20 – Eldar Eldarov
17:00 – Carracci (each way)

14:30 – Noche Magica (NAP)

I’m with Noche Magica. This race is all pace and all speed and he’s got that. He won at Cork first time out and he finished second at the Curragh last month. Paddy Twomey is having a brilliant season and he’s a great price.

15:05 – Bertinelli

I’m going to stick with Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien, so I’m on Bertinelli. He ran really well at Newbury last time out and he’s going to improve. He could be one of Aidan’s runners that becomes a Group horse.

15:40 – Al Asifah 

I’m going to stick with Al Asifah. She’s not a good price but you can’t get value in every race! She is the most likely winner and she will land her hat-trick.

16:20 – Eldar Eldarov

This year’s Gold Cup is probably a bit more open than it’s been in recent years. Coltrane is probably the right favourite but I’m going to go against him and I’m with last year’s St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov. He finished second on his seasonal reappearance at York but the form has held up. He can show improvement as he’s only a four-year-old.

17:00 – Carracci (each way)

I’m taking Carracci – and Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien again – at a big price. He ran well in the 2000 Guineas trial at Leopardstown but things didn’t go his way at the Curragh last time out. He’s unexposed and Ryan is red hot at the moment, he can’t do anything wrong.

17:35 – Torito

Frankie Dettori is on the wrong one for me as I fancy Torito to beat Epictetus. He got off the mark at Nottingham earlier this year and he comes here on the back of his winning handicap debut at Epsom. He’ll do me!

18:10 – Accidental Agent (each way)

I’m going for Accidental Agent at a huge price. He’s back down to a mark of 101 and he has form at Ascot. I’m going to have a go at him.
