13:50 Law of the Sea

A 2m 4f contest to start and, admittedly, Law Of The Sea comes in off a disappointing effort at Newcastle last time when beaten an awfully long way. That definitely wasn’t his true running and he’s much better judged on his previous three tries this season. That would also suggest the step up in distance to this marathon trip is going to play to his strengths. He’s fully effective on good and soft good so a weather watch is not needed.

14:25 Knight (each-way)

Nostrum is going to be odds on to maintain his 100% record this season. The only slight concern is the ground. Knight looked decent when winning the Horris Hill Stakes last term and has been gelded since a disappointing run on his return at Newbury in the Group 3 Greenham Stakes. Connection have given him some time to regroup and he can grab a slice of the pie each way.

15:00 Tacarib Bay

The Golden Mile Handicap has 22 declared and Tacarib Bay has been running consistently well in a bunch of top handicaps and another bold show can be expected as the Richard Hannon team are having a great week. My selection is not thrown in at the ratings but that applies to most of the field. The draw in stall 4 has been kind and with slightly better weather forecasted the riders will probably stay on the far side of the track so he can be produced late and fast.

15:35 Highfield Princess

The Group 2 Qatar Stakes ends ITV’s coverage today and old favourite Highfield Princess last raced at this venue in 2021 over 7f when third to Last Empire. She returns to her optimum trip of 5f and, with a few early-pace runners in the line-up, it looks good for her to gain win number 13! This should tee her up nicely for a return attempt at the Nunthorpe Stakes at York in a few weeks’ time.
