13:20 – Trawlerman
We kick off with the Long Distance Cup on Saturday and Kyprios will be all the rage. However, he’s had a busy season and he was beaten in this race last year by Trawlerman. While Kyprios is more straightforward, Trawlerman could cause a little bit of an upset!
13:55 – Kinross
The Sprint Stakes is up nest and it’s very hard to get away from Kinross. He loves Ascot and he loves soft ground. He ran a very good race when finishing second in the Prix de La Foret at Longchamp earlier this month. He’ll do me!
14:35 – Tiffany
Kalpana is the favourite but I’m concerned about her on the soft ground. I’m wary of that so I’ll take a chance on Tiffany for Mark Prescott. She could be worth keeping on side due to the ground and cheekpieces will be applied for the first time.
15:15 – Facteur Cheval (each-way)
Charyn will be trying to make up for the disappointment of getting beaten at Longchamp last month. He’s the most likely winner but he’s short in the market. I like Facteur Cheval as an each-way bet. He ran very well in the race last year when finishing second behind Big Rock. He’ll be ridden to come home and that might be good enough. He’s a decent price too.
15:55 – Economics
There’s a huge prize pot to the winner of the Champion Stakes. Economics is a very good horse and I can’t go against him. He’ll handle the conditions and if you watch his fourth in the Newmarket maiden over 7f last year, he didn’t mind the ground. He’s a very smart horse.
16:35 – Bopedro (each-way)
Bopedro for David O’Meara with Danny Tudhope could be the value selection. He ran well in the Challenge Cup at Ascot last time out and he handles the track well. He’ll be ridden to come home and he was fourth in this last year. He’s a decent each-way play.
