13:45 Ascot 15 Jul 2023 Ascot/1711 Learning To Work Bake-Off Competition Heritage Handicap
Zarzyni 1pt win only 10/1 + Call Me Ginger 0.5pt EW 28/1 5 places – Zarzyni could only manage 3rd in this race last year but returns here some 10lb lower than that attempt and having put in a big race at Epsom last time out should hold excellent chances of going close once more. He has won with a little give under foot previously but is largely untested on ground that is very testing so still has something to prove. Call Me Ginger is a previous CD winner who comes here having fallen to an attractive mark for a yard that are bang in form.
14:00 York 15 Jul 2023 John Smith’s Racing Handicap
Aramaic 1pt win only 7/1 – Has improved with each start this term after missing last season altogether and spending 608 days on the side-lines. Just failed to see things out at Sandown last time out having made all and this drop in trip here could prove crucial with testing conditions looking likely. Breeding suggest the softening underfoot conditions should suit and comes here with the yard in great form.
14:15 Newmarket 15 Jul 2023 Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa Fillies’ Handicap
Dancing Goddess 1pt win only 6/1 – A very impressive winner on his sole start as a 2 year old and returned to action with a good run behind a decent looking sort from the Gosden yard. Disappointing last time out but has to hold bags of potential here making her handicap debut from a fair looking mark given her breeding. Yard bang in form and this one should be capable of far more than what she has shown to date.
14:50 Newmarket 15 Jul 2023 Bet365 Mile Handicap
Royal Dubai 1pt win only 11/2 – A good 2nd on turf debut last time out at Chester and hold untapped potential now encountering more testing conditions for the first time. Had Tafreej back in 4th on that occasion albeit when not having the clearest of runs but can confirm that form here again in what looks a weak renewal of this race. N Callan in the saddle looks a big plus too.
15:10 York 15 Jul 2023 John Smith’s Cup Handicap
White Wolf 1pt win only 14/1 – Put in an eye-catching run at Royal Ascot in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes when not beaten far ack in 7th. Stayed on at one pace having been denied a clear run from the wrong side of the draw and this drop back in trip here with conditions looking favourable could bring about further improvement. Yard are going well at present, they have a good record at the track and P Hanagan’s booking looks significant.
16:00 Newmarket 15 Jul 2023 bet365 Bunbury Cup
Streets Of Gold 1pt win only 15/2 – Ran a big race in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot and warrants plenty of respect here dropping back into handicap company. He is due to go up 4lb in the weights for that run but escapes the rise in the weights for this run. Has won with give in the ground and has a previous win at the track too so plenty of positives pointing to a nother big run here.
16:45 Navan (IRE) 15 Jul 2023 Navan Racing Festival November 18th & 19th Handicap
St Cianans Way 0.5pt EW 22/1 5 places – Won 3 out of four race in the Autumn and was beginning to look like a useful prospect before failing to follow that up with 2 lesser runs in May. Has been freshened up for this and still sits on a tempting mark now back up in trip with conditions looking likely to suit.
