To win: Sapphire Seas 4/1

Untested on anything softer then good, Runs very free and won 4 in a row in Britain including a Yarmouth Listed race over 1m 2f in September. Close 2nd at Meydan (Group 2) in February. Still could prove better at this level.

Our picks for the race


To win: Caviar Heights 4/1

Won good-ground listed race at Newmarket on last start comfortably and ran a good 3rd before, showed much more improvement this season for new yard. Winning this requires more but no doubt there's more progress in the colt.


Each-way: God's Window 16/1

Only 7 running so only get first 2 places but I really fancy this colt. Blew the start at Chester in Listed company losing a solid 7-8 lengths out the gate and used to much gas to come back to the field, Should be bang there if getting the start right but has now had 2 races where he blew the start but should have a big run in him.

Our picks for the race


To win: Big Evs 8/11 Favourite

Only run here and he flopped in the Nunthorpe last August when finishing 14 of 16. Had an excellent season besides that, front-ran in many wins over 5f at Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood and Doncaster before winning at the Breeders' Cup very hard to beat if coming here fully tuned up.


Each-way: Mon Na Slieve 14/1

Failed to progress after winning first time out, that win came here over C&D so catching him first time out this season might be good, could see a bold bid.



Good luck to all jockeys, trainers and owners who are competing here lets hope all horse and riders come home safe after having many deaths on the racetrack recently. Lets hope for some competitive racing as the flat season is really starting to hot up.
