SATURDAY 27th JUNE 2.05 Newcastle At first glance I thought this was simply ‘how far’ for WAR ARTIST and although that may well prove correct I don’t think it’s as easy as I originally thought. He makes his seasonal debut here and on official ratings he is the one to beat as well as bringing some top [...]

NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE – NEWCASTLE, June 27th This is one of my favourite races of the whole season (helped by the fact I backed Mirjan @ 33/1 back in 2004!) and it is no surprise to see a high quality field going to post considering the first prize is well over £100k.

Saturday 20th June 2.30 Ascot – Chesham Stakes The Chesham is a race that my old boss enjoys winning so we will have a look at his horses first. SHAKESPEAREAN was very impressive when winning at Haydock last month, despite showing signs of greenness. He was outpaced early on but once Royston got him settled he picked [...]

The first trend to consider is that off age. Four and five-years-old have practically had a strangle hold over the race in [...]

Friday 19th June 2.30 Ascot – Albany Stakes Despite 22 runners going to post, this looks easy. The American Wesley Ward’s juveniles have already thrashed the best we have to offer over the first two days, so AEGEAN should win this pulling a cart. Of course I am only joking as this is anything but easy, although [...]

QUEEN’S VASE – ROYAL ASCOT, June 19 The Queen’s Vase is a new addition to this year’s Summer Festivals Betting Guide but it is quite a strong race from a trends point of view.
