12:55 Longchamp The first of six Group 1’s at Longchamp is the Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac. A race for the 2 year-old fillies over the mile. I find it hard to get away from ZARIGANA (4/5) in this. Unbeaten in two starts,…

1:30 Newmarket The opener on Saturday’s ITV coverage is the 1:30 from Newmarket. It is a fillies handicap over 1m2f. I like ASHIRABA (11/2) here. This progressive 3 year-old filly is improving well this season and has won 3 of his last…

1:15 Newmarket  The first of five live races from HQ comes up at 1:15pm. It is the Jersey Lily Fillies Nursery handicap over the 7f trip. The horse I like is MAGIC LOVE (6/1) from the Harry Charlton stable. After three mediocre…

1:15 Ayr The opener on Saturday is a 1m handicap for horses rated between 0-100. I’ve landed on OBELIX (6/1) who bounced right back to form last time out when running out an impressive winner at Haydock. He’s still well-handicapped based on…

1:50 Doncaster The opener on St Leger Day is the Champagne Stakes. It is a Group 2 for the 2 year-old colts ran over 7f. It is BAY CITY ROLLER (7/1) for me here at the prices. Unbeaten in two career…

1:50 Doncaster The opener on Day 2 is the Mallard handicap – a race for the 3-year-olds and above over the extended 1m6f. I like SHADOW DANCE (7/2) in this for Roger Varian. I think this progressive 4 year-old is capable of…

1:50 Doncaster The opener on Day 1 of the St Leger meeting is a fillies nursery handicap over 6 and a half furlongs.  It’s ART DESIGN (7/1) for me here. She is an improving filly who brings a decent level of experience…

1:15 Haydock The first of five live races from Haydock starts at 1:15. We start with the Group 3 Superior Mile Stakes with 7 runners declared. The horse I like here is HOLLOWAY BOY (11/2). A rare debut winner at Royal Ascot…

1:30 Beverley The 1:30 from Beverley gets proceedings underway on ITV and it is the Silver Cup handicap over 1m4f. It’s WALTER HARTWRIGHT (11/4) I like in this. The 3 year-old has been a revelation this year winning four of his eight…

1:50 York We start Saturday with the Strensall Stakes, a Group 3 race over 1m1f. I’ll take a swing on CHECKANDCHALLENGE (50/1) EW here at a huge price. He’s very talented at his best and he has some seriously smart back form. Things…
