1.50, Sandown – Group 3 Coral Charge (3YO+) (5f)
EQUALITY performed moderately on his first two starts last season before bouncing back to form with a ready Windsor victory followed by his success in this Group 3 contest last year. He registered a peak Racing Post rating (RPR) of 117 that day and a repeat performance would make him difficult to dethrone. The good-to-firm ground was against him when well held at Royal Ascot so the forecast rain will be in his favour.
Selection: Equality @ 15/2 with Betfred
2.05, Haydock – Class 2 bet365 Handicap (3YO) (1m 6f)
TOO BOSSY FOR US is an each-way suggestion in this 14-runner contest. The Golden Horn colt is thoroughly unexposed having had only five starts. He features off a mark of 85 after registering a peak RPR of 88 when staying on into third over a slightly shorter trip at Thirsk last month. The selection is a half-brother to a Listed winner over this trip and looks likely to post another improved effort now.
Selection: Too Bossy For Us @ 6/1 (EW) with Betfred
2.25, Sandown – Class 2 Coral Challenge Handicap (3YO+) (1m)
TWO TEMPTING has won four of his past five starts and has been raised 2lb to a mark of 95 since registering a peak RPR of 102 when winning well over course and distance last month. The New Bay gelding is 3-3 on good-to-soft ground and there is rain forecast ahead of this contest, while his prominent racing style is another positive to consider in a field with a distinct lack of confirmed pace.
Selection: Two Tempting @ 15/2 (EW) with Betfred
2.40, Haydock – Group 2 bet365 Lancashire Oaks (3YO+) (1m 4f)
John and Thady Gosden trained the winner of this Group 2 contest through Free Wind in 2022 and their 2024 representative QUEEN OF THE PRIDE improved enough to land the Group 3 Lester Piggott Fillies’ Stakes over this course and distance last month. That was only her fourth start and the daughter of Roaring Lion is open to more progression over this distance and the percentage call to follow up.
Selection: Queen Of The Pride @ SP with Betfred
3.00, Sandown – Listed Coral Distaff (3YO) (1m)
SOPRANO took her form to a new level when picking up best in the closing stages to land the 30-runner Sandringham Fillies’ Handicap off a mark of 100 at Royal Ascot last month, registering an RPR of 110. The ground is unlikely to be riding good-to-firm on this occasion given the forecast, but she can follow up in this potentially trappy Listed event for fillies.
Selection: Soprano @ 2/1 with Betfred
3.15, Haydock – Class 2 bet365 Old Newton Cup Heritage Handicap (4YO+) (1m 4f)
David O’Meara trained the 2022 winner of this middle-distance contest through Get Shirty in 2022, who had just won at Royal Ascot, and his 2024 representative EPIC POET was one of the biggest eyecatchers of the royal meeting when reaching a relatively close second of 19 in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes last month. The five-year-old Lope De Vega gelding is versatile as regards ground and must have every chance of going one place better despite being burdened by a 3lb higher rating.
Selection: Epic Poet @ SP with Betfred
3.35, Sandown – Group 1 Coral Eclipse (3YO+) (1m 2f)
Aidan O’Brien trained the winner of this Group 1 contest, the first major clash of the generations, through three-year-olds St Mark’s Basilica and Paddington in 2021 and 2023. His 2024 representative CITY OF TROY is another three-year-old who arrives with outstanding form claims after last month’s ready Derby success, and the drop back in trip is considered a positive with rain likely in the run-up to the race.
Selection: City Of Troy @ 1/3 with Betfred
