14:00 Astral Beau (each-way)
ASTRAL BEAU is going to go off a big price yet she ran a huge race in arguably a better renewal of this Group 3 contest last year. Her run at Doncaster was rock solid behind a Group One performer Charyn and there is no reason that she will not leave her last run at Newmarket behind her, encountering slightly softer conditions again.
14:35 Embesto
EMBESTO looked like I did after a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for his return at Newmarket! Despite carrying the extra condition he wasn’t beaten too far behind a red-hot performer in Ottoman Fleet. He’s going to take a significant step forward and the team have put the hood on to get him to settle early on for his rider, James Doyle.
15:10 Due For Luck
DUE FOR LUCK was so unlucky not to get his head in front on his return at Chester and the handicapper has only given him a gentle nudge up the weights with a 2lb rise. He travels strongly at a very fast pace which is an ideal asset over the rocket 5f at this track. He’s also drawn one off the paint in stall 19 and can go close with a clear run and a slice of luck.
15:45 Silky Wilkie
SILKY WILKIE produced a fantastic effort in this contest last season when only beaten in a head-bobbing finish. He now reappears fully 8lb below last season’s rating and is completely flexible as regards ground conditions. He won’t mind whatever the weather decides to do.
16:30 Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES brings in the perfect 100 per cent record with three unbeaten runs and still has a massive amount of improvement left in him judged by the way he went through his last win at Leopardstown. He’s peaking at the right time for master trainer Aidan O’Brien and can claim another Epsom Derby win for the Irish raiders.
