13:50 – Ventura Express (each way)

Jm Jungle likes to get on with things and he’s drawn in stall 19, while Intrinsic Bond is in stall three. There is a lot of pace in the higher draws so I’m with Ventura Express, who will hopefully be pulled along by the speed in front of him. He has place form at York and he ran well enough at Redcar last time out. He’s a solid each-way price.

14:25 – Cogitate

Ballymount Boy has decent form but I’m on Cogitate for Charles Hills with William Buick on board. He impressed on his winning debut at Newbury last time out and he’s open to plenty of improvement.

15:00 – Castle Way

Gregory was impressive at Ascot and he made all but 12f could be on the sharp side for him. I’ve landed on Castle Way for Charlie Appleby. He was decent when winning at Newmarket in May and he followed that up by beating Tower of London on the July course. He could improve again.

15:35 – Paddington

Paddington will make the running in the Juddmonte International and he should win. I hope he wins and then he goes to Leopardstown and wins again. Flat racing needs a Paddington, a horse that people want to go and see live. He never does too much but he always wins. He’s a superstar.

16:10 – Grappa Nonino

Zanndabad jumps out at you, especially with Ryan Moore on board, however, I’m taking him on with Grappa Nonino. It didn’t work out for him at the Curragh in July but he bounced back and won impressively earlier this month. He’s a horse that Dermot Weld rates highly and it’s a bonus that Saffie Osborne is on board.
