Check out what the trainers are saying plus a Man On The Spot verdict for Thursday's big TV races at Newmarket. 1350 Bahrain Trophy What the trainers say: Tim Easterby - Wells Farhh Go: "He's in good form and he should run well, fingers crossed. He's stepping up from a mile a mile and a half and that should be OK." Charlie Appleby - Loxley: "I was pleased with Loxley's first run of the season and he came out of the race well. He won on good to firm ground that day, so similar conditions won't be a problem, and we hope that the step up in trip this week will see further improvement." Man On The Spot verdict: 4 3 Giuseppe Garibaldit11 39-1OR: 108BFD 11/4 T: A P O'BrienJ: R L Moore Form: 331132Last Run Live betting powered by Berkshire Blue, Caliburn and Loxley arrive on the back of victories in novice company with the latter preferred on last month’s convincing success over 1m2 here. Winning handicapper First Eleven also faces tougher opposition after placing at Ascot but will still prove popular given the Gosden yard has won four of the last seven renewals but GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI (NAP) has the proven form at this level. Runner-up in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time when well ahead of stablemate Victory Salute, Aidan O’Brien’s progressive colt had earlier finished in front of Wells Farhh Go when third in the King Edward V11 over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and looks the one to beat. Better was expected of the latter at Ascot but this longer trip should suit and he’s preferred to Global Giant. Flag Of Honour leads Giuseppe Garibaldi at the Curragh Giuseppe Garibaldi (right) - proven at this level 1425 Arqana July Stakes What the trainers say: Martyn Meade Advertise: "He beat everything on his side in the Coventry, he just didn't know anything about the horse on the other side. Having said that, you can't take anything away from Calyx, he looks very good. Nevertheless, it was a very good run from our horse. "Thankfully we're not bumping into him this time. He's got a favourite's chance, I'd say, and the ground should be fine for him, not dissimilar to Ascot. "I toyed with the idea of running him in the Superlative on Saturday over seven furlongs, as he took a bit of time to get going in both his races, but we decided to stick to six for now." John Gosden - Legends Of War: "He got a temperature and a cough and his blood was wrong which meant he missed the Coventry, so thank goodness we didn't run him. He comes here fresh, he's in good form. We'll be looking to run a nice race. He's got a good turn of foot, so we'll be looking to put it to best use." Man On The Spot verdict: 6 7 Legends Of War50 29-0OR: -D 2/1 T: J H M GosdenJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 1Last Run Live betting powered by Van Beethoven is one the most experienced in the field and landed a Group 2 sprint at the Curragh recently with stable companion North Wind three lengths behind. The Ballydoyle colt looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish and is preferred to Konchek, who disappointed in the Norfolk at Ascot but still finished in front of Charming Kid. Advertise found only Calyx too good in the Coventry at Ascot and should go well again but the latter is trained by John Gosden and the Newmarket handler runs LEGENDS OF WAR in this. The Scat Daddy colt made a winning start in novice company at Yarmouth when showing an impressive turn of foot and it would be no surprise if he proves up to this level. Dunkerron and Sporting Chance look up again it in this company. Legends Of War makes a big impression at Yarmouth Legends Of War makes a big impression at Yarmouth 1535 Princess Of Wales's Arqana Racing Club Stakes What the trainers say: Roger Varian - Barsanti: "He has come out of his run in the Hardwicke Stakes in good shape - he looks well and is training well. Nothing has come to light to explain his performance in the Hardwicke, where he was right there turning for home but did not finish off the race as we would have liked. Even so, he was not beaten very far. "I can't see any reason why the July Course will be a problem and the combination of a mile and a half and fast ground ought to suit him pretty well. It looks a warm renewal - it's a competitive race. Barsanti put up a strong performance when just beating Mirage Dancer at Ascot in May and a repeat of that would see him right in the mix." Saeed bin Suroor - Best Solution: "He needed a break having been quite busy at Meydan earlier in the year. After he ran in Dubai, we gave him a break and it has been the target for him to start here this season. "His best form to date has been on easy ground, but he seems to handle a faster surface these days, and we will just have to see how he fares on it. He is already a Group Three winner, so a prestigious Group Two race like this one is a good starting point for him. He has been working well, is in good form and we're looking for a good run from him." Man On The Spot verdict: 8 5 Raa Atoll20 38-8OR: 105D 7/2 T: J H M GosdenJ: L Dettori Form: 2114Last Run Live betting powered by Barsanti was no match for Crystal Ocean in the Hardwicke at Ascot last month but meets nothing of that calibre here. Best Solution found last year’s winner Hawkbill too good in the Sheema Classic at Meydan when last in action but is not out of this while Duretto finished in front of last year’s third Algometer over a longer trip at York last time. Jim Crowley sticks with Laraaib despite the latter finishing behind Muntahaa in the Wolferton where Mirage Dancer ran into trouble. The latter is closely matched with Barsanti on earlier running and should figure with a clear run but a chance is taken on RAA ATOLL. John Gosden’s three-year-old showed further progress in a Group 2 at Ascot when finishing just behind third-placed Giuseppe Garibaldi and could go close getting plenty of weight from the older horses today. Trainer John Gosden John Gosden - can enjoy good day at Newmarket

Champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa on Wednesday lost an appeal against a seven-day suspension for failing to obtain the best possible placing in a race at Chelmsford last Friday.
De Sousa challenged the racecourse stewards' finding that he had eased off his mount Massam shortly before the line in a race in which the Mark Johnston-trained two-year-old was beaten a nose for third place.
The jockey, who presented a supporting letter from Johnston, told a BHA disciplinary panel he was riding a difficult colt who was having his first start and was hanging to his left for much of the straight.
"Not for one second did I stop riding," he said. "I was in full drive from two furlongs out. I never broke the momentum of my horse. I was trying to correct him and the only thing I could do was put my whip down and grab the horse to keep a straight line."

Some big-name tracks in action tonight with At The Races showing three races from Leopardstown, as Racing UK broadcasts the Epsom and Newbury's cards. Here are three runners to note.
Goddess 5.40 Leopardstown
Sue Magnier, who is charged with naming Coolmore's bluebloods, wouldn't waste one like this, would she? A daughter of Camelot from the Urban Sea family of Sea The Stars and Galileo, Goddess made her debut at the Curragh 13 days ago but met trouble in running and could not get involved. The betting suggests Aidan O'Brien's runner, who has an entry in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, will take all the beating under Seamie Heffernan.
2/5 Goddess 5:40 Leopardstown Wotabreeze 8.45 Epsom
It's a long way from John Quinn's stable in North Yorkshire to Epsom – 257 miles – so he will be hoping Wotabreeze can help pay for the diesel. A winner at Ripon three starts ago, the five-year-old has been well beaten in his last two outings but was a solid second on his only appearance at Epsom a year ago. He can be hard to predict, but he comes from a yard going nicely, just like jockey David Probert, who rarely rides for Quinn.
6/1 Wotabreeze 8:45 Epsom Harry Beau 9.05 Newbury
It's a tenth start of the year for Harry Beau, who was supposed to run at Chelmsford last week but was derailed by travel problems. However, he gets his chance in the final race of the day in Britain and Ireland and looks a player, having bolted up by seven lengths on fast ground at Chepstow nine days ago. That came under promising apprentice Rossa Ryan, who again takes the ride for David Evans.
3/1 Harry Beau 9:05 Newbury

Newmarket: David Milnes
Court Of Justice (5.20 Newmarket, nap)
David Simcock's improver was a ready winner of a maiden at Beverley last time and is on an upward curve. The three-year-old blew out well for this on the Cambridge Road Polytrack on Wednesday.

Mukhayyam (2.40 York, nap)
Off the mark for the season when gaining narrow win over course and distance last time. Stiffer task at the weights here, but the race should be run to suit and is fancied to follow up his win in the same event last season.

Machine Learner (3.25 Ascot, nap)
Booking of Andrea Atzeni, who rarely rides for the stable, is a signal of intent from Joe Tuite, whose string are in fine form. This capable gelding will relish stepping back up in trip and ought to be in the mix.
8/1 Machine Learner 3:25 Ascot Others to follow Ascot 2.15 Dirty Rascal, 4.00 Maid Up, 4.35 Chagatai, 5.10 Simply Breathless. Chester 7.25 Jaayiz. Chepstow 5.35 Sary Arqa, 7.45 Isstoora.

West Country: Andrew King
Bronze Angel (5.40 Ascot, nap)
Would prefer a bit more dig in the ground but has slipped down the handicap and is expected to go well.
12/1 Bronze Angel 5:40 Ascot Others to follow Ascot 3.25 Golden Birthday. Newmarket 4.45 Shraaoh. Chepstow 7.15 Babyfact. Ffos Las 6.30 Lamb Or Cod, 7.35 Take The High Road, 8.05 Coeur Tantre. Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Excessable (5.00 York)
Slow start to the year but showed promise to stay on for fourth over course and distance last time and looks well treated judged on the pick of last year's figures.
4/1 Excessable 5:00 York Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Semoum (2.50 Ascot)
Scored with authority and in a decent time at Ripon three weeks ago and is favourably treated on his nursery bow.
8/11 Semoum 2:50 Ascot Longshot: Dave Revers
Kitaabaat (5.10 Ascot)
Beat Epsom Derby tenth Sevenna Star on his final start of last season and ran with credit on his first run this term, with the drop in trip expected to suit this time around.
5/1 Kitaabaat 5:10 Ascot Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Cerealice (8.20 Cork)
Twice placed over this 2m4f trip, more recently when finishing well in second place at Tipperary in May, the Alan Fleming-trained six-year-old can get off the mark under Denis Regan in this mares' handicap hurdle.
5/1 Cerealice 8:20 Cork The Raceform Interactive nugget
Ed Vaughan has had four winners and three places from just nine runners in handicaps on Newmarket's July course in the last three seasons (+£25.62 to £1 stakes). Desert Wind, fourth in the Britannia Stakes when last seen, goes in the 1m2f event for three-year-olds at 3.00.
9/1 Desert Wind 3:00 Newmarket (July)

Finley Marsh has a 25 per cent strike-rate at Ascot and goes there for one ride, Apex King (5.40), who can build on a promising first run for Richard Hughes at Kempton last time out.
Georgia Cox and William Haggas have a 33 per cent strike-rate when combining at York, and team up with Red Cymbal (5.30). The son of Pivotal will benefit from the first time tongue-tie and a step up in trip.
Rebecca Curtis has a 40 per cent strike-rate with her horses two weeks either side of today’s date for the past five seasons. She sends one horse to Ffos Las, Joueur Bresilien (7.05), who should be up to winning a maiden hurdle.

in today's sporting life.............. Ben Linfoot seeks out the best Value Bet selection on day two of the Moet & Chandon July Festival at Newmarket on Friday. Recommended Bets: Value Bet, July Festival, Day Two For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, visit our transparent tipping record Alpha Centauri is the big draw at Newmarket on Friday as the runaway Coronation Stakes winner takes on six fillies and mares in the Group One Falmouth Stakes. We know she’s got a class edge on her generation and the older horses in this race don’t look in her league either, so odds of 4/6 are perfectly understandable. It looks a no-bet race and unfortunately small fields are a theme of the afternoon, with even the Silver Bunbury ending up with just seven contenders. Five of those could well dispute favouritism, which shows you just how tight the market is and, while it’s an interesting race tactically, finding a bet isn’t easy. It’s the bet365 Handicap over 1m2f at 3.00 that appeals as the best betting race on the card with three or four towards the top of the market worth taking on. Wissahickon, Zaaki, Chief Ironside and Beringer are all trading at single-figure odds but all have gone up in the weights for recent performances and might be susceptible to something better handicapped. Mark Johnston’s runners have to be respected given he’s won four of the last five renewals, with Communique of particular interest with Silvestre de Sousa back in the saddle, but the one that I think is overpriced is Hugo Palmer’s DUKHAN at 25/1 (Coral, 20s General). This horse simply didn’t seem to stay on his first go at 1m4f at Royal Ascot last time but he’s worth a go back at 1m2f on his second start since being gelded with the cheekpieces back on. At least he’s come down 3lb for his last two runs and a mark of 91 makes him of interest on his best form, which came on Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course on his first two starts this season. They were really good efforts off 87 and 93, firstly behind Old Persian who won at Royal Ascot and is now rated 110, and secondly in a race where nothing went right for him off a muddling pace. 8 9 Dukhanp22 38-8OR: 91 20/1 T: H PalmerJ: Harry Bentley Form: 41-2360Last Run Live betting powered by On the back of those efforts he was sent off at 8/1 for the competitive London Gold Cup at Newbury and he ran well there considering he missed the break. Rushed up the inside by Frankie Dettori to make up the ground, he was lit up and ran keen, doing well to be beaten just six lengths in sixth at the line. That form is key as three rivals reoppose here; Communique, Poet’s Prince and Chief Ironside, but Dukhan gets significant weight from the trio (11lb, 6lb and 11lb respectively) after not being beaten too far. Back at this trip, if he settles, and a likely good gallop suggests he’ll have no excuses on that score, he can go well under Harry Bentley who has a good record when riding for Palmer (11/59 at 19 per cent). Posted at 1700 BST on 12/07/18. Ben Linfoot's Value Bet aim: The Value Bet is designed to generate long-term profit by searching for overpriced horses in the feature weekend races and at the big Festivals in the UK. Running total: +354.34pts to advised stakes/prices (from inception of Value Bet column in January 2010 to current).

Top commentator Simon Holt tipped Wells Farhh Go at Newmarket on Thursday and he's back with two best bets for Friday's card at the July Festival. Recommended Bets: July Festival, day two 1pt win Saluti in 1.50 Newmarket at 4/1 1pt win Zaaki in 3.00 Newmarket at 7/2 Click on the above links for live Oddschecker markets For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, click here With Alpha Centauri odds-on and hard to oppose in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes, after her record-breaking romp at Royal Ascot, ZAAKI could prove the best bet on the second day of Newmarket's July Festival. Sir Michael Stoute's colt is set to carry top weight in the bet365 Handicap but is actually taking a drop in class having finished strongly to take third in the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot. I thought that was an eye-catching effort; Zaaki was way back in the field and trapped towards the inside when the field turned for home and the horses in front and just behind him at the finish were all ridden more prominently. This will be the colt's fourth run for Stoute, and he seems to have improved a good deal this season having earlier won at Thirsk (from subsequent winner New Graduate, the pair 11 lengths clear) before not getting the best of runs when finishing third behind the re-opposing Poets Prince and Desert Wind at Chelmsford, his only appearance on an artificial surface. 1 5 Zaaki22 39-7OR: 104 7/2 T: Sir Michael StouteJ: R L Moore Form: 545-133Last Run Live betting powered by With the Ascot third looking a step forward and the uphill finish on Newmarket's July course likely to suit this strong finisher in the hands of Ryan Moore, Zaaki may have enough class to concede the weight. Also clashing again are Wissahickon and Beringer who fought out an exciting finish at York 13 days ago. A furlong out, Beringer looked to be travelling the better and, while his rival dug in well, a 2lb pull at the weights could see the tables turned. Earlier, SALUTI can continue his fine form in the bet365 Handicap (Silver Bunbury Cup). Amanda Perrett’s four-year-old was beaten less than a length by two recent winners and a horse who was narrowly beaten this season in the Victoria Cup when fourth over the course and distance just over a fortnight ago. Also successful in two previous starts, including on the Rowley Mile course in May, Saluti looks sure to be bang there again and the fitting of cheekpieces for the first time could elicit a bit more improvement. 5 4 Salutip115 49-6OR: 86CD 4/1 T: Mrs A J PerrettJ: Jim Crowley Form: 78-0114Last Run

Our star columnist takes us through his runners for day one of York's John Smith's Cup fixture on Friday. Best chances: 4.25 York Friday 3 2 Kodyanna23 28-11OR: 83D 5/2 T: R A FaheyJ: Barry McHugh Form: 310Last Run Live betting powered by 5.00 York Friday 8 4 Wirral Girl13 38-9OR: 75D 16/1 T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Form: 1073-34Last Run Live betting powered by Flawless Jewel is Sands Of Mali’s half-sister and he made a winning debut at York’s John Smith’s Cup meeting last season. She runs in the Jigsaw Sports Branding British EBF Novice Stakes on Friday and we like her at home. It will be interesting to see how she goes. The Summer Stakes is a competitive Group Three. It’s been the target for Maggies Angel for some time, her owner was very keen to run in it. She has some form at the track and is in great order. We also run Marie Of Lyon. She probably goes on any ground but may be better if it’s a little slower than she’ll encounter here. I’d be delighted if both my fillies were placed. Delph Crescent was very impressive at Beverley on Friday. He’s gone up 11lb for that victory but carries a 6lb penalty in the Acturis Handicap. We’re going up in trip to 10 furlongs with him again and there is a question mark over whether he stays it – but he wasn’t stopping over the mile last week. I thought Kodyanna would run a little better than she did in the Queen Mary last time. Her sister Darkanna could disappoint every now and again too but we’re very happy with her at home going into the Garbutt + Elliott Nursery and I hope she runs well. Nothing went right for Wirral Girl at Chester last time. She missed the break and I thought she ran a good race in the circumstances. If everything drops right in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Handicap she’d go close. We’re double-handed in the closing Gough & Kelly Apprentice Handicap. International Man returns to seven furlongs which I think is his best trip. If you ignore his last run here over a mile then he must have a chance. So does Inviolable Spirit who has been running really well of late but doesn’t have much in hand of the handicapper.

Ben Linfoot's Sporting Life Daily Nap runs at Newmarket's July Festival on Friday while his next best and treble run on the card at Ascot. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, July 13 Nap: DUKHAN (3.00 Newmarket) 8 9 Dukhanp22 38-8OR: 91 20/1 T: H PalmerJ: Harry Bentley Form: 41-2360Last Run Live betting powered by Next Best: Dirty Rascal (2.15 Ascot) 1 1 Dirty Rascal32 29-2OR: - 13/8 T: R HannonJ: P J Dobbs Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by Treble: Semoum (2.50 Ascot) 3 2 Semoumt22 29-3OR: 83D 8/11 T: G PeckhamJ: L Morris Form: 231Last Run Live betting powered by DUKHAN simply didn’t seem to stay on his first go at 1m4f at Royal Ascot last time but he’s worth a go back at 1m2f on his second start since being gelded with the cheekpieces back on in the bet365 Handicap at Newmarket (3.00) on Friday. At least he’s come down 3lb for his last two runs and a mark of 91 makes him of interest on his best form, which came on Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course on his first two starts this season.

Over at Ascot Dirty Rascal can benefit from experience in the opening Signature Capital British EBF Novice Stakes (2.15). Second to Dunkerron at Windsor last month, that horse has subsequently won at York and finished fourth behind Advertise in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday. Finally, Semoum's stylish victory at Ripon was emphatically enhanced by the runner-up Eljayeff at Carlisle on Saturday and that form boost suggests an opening mark of 83 might underestimate him in the Knights Nursery Handicap at Ascot (2.50). Daily Nap record: -14.30pts

Former apprentice Laura Barry has lost her battle with cancer, aged 25.
To add to the heartbreak she was due to marry Ben Hamilton, brother of jockey Tony, on Saturday.
A very emotional Richard Fahey, for whom Barry used to ride, said on Friday: "She was a wonderful, wonderful person and she passed away with dignity. She was a super girl, just a super, super girl, and it's so very sad for everyone.

Ascot, 13 Jul 18 Race 1 - 2:15pm THE SIGNATURE CAPITAL BRITISH EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 3) (PLUS 10 RACE) An enquiry was held to consider two incidents of interference inside the final furlong. The placings were considered in the first incident when the winner, DIRTY RASCAL (IRE), ridden by Pat Dobbs, interfered with MARHABA MILLIAR (IRE), placed second, ridden by Robert Havlin. The Stewards considered that the interference had improved DIRTY RASCAL (IRE)’s placing as MARHABA MILLIAR (IRE) had received a significant bump and been taken considerably off its intended line, causing it to become unbalanced and lose momentum, only to be beaten by a fast diminishing short head at the line. The placings were revised as follows: 1st, MARHABA MILLIAR (IRE), 2nd, DIRTY RASCAL (IRE). The interference was found to be accidental as DIRTY RASCAL (IRE) had ducked quickly left-handed away from the whip before being corrected by the rider. In the second incident, DIRTY RASCAL (IRE) interfered with GAMBON (GER), placed third, ridden by Edward Greatrex. This interference was found to be accidental as DIRTY RASCAL (IRE) had ducked quickly right-handed before being corrected by the rider.
Approaching the final furlong the winner, DIRTY RASCAL (IRE) hung left-handed causing the rider of GAMBON (GER), placed third, to take a momentary check, and taking DUTCH TREAT, placed fourth, momentarily off its intended line. After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and it had not improved the placing of DIRTY RASCAL (IRE).

Race 3 - 3:25pm THE CLOSE BROTHERS PROPERTY FINANCE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Following the race, Hayley Turner reported HAWKERLAND (IRE), which started joint favourite and finished unplaced, ran flat; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the gelding during routine testing found it to have lost its left-fore shoe. The representative of Jamie Osborne reported that SAM MISSILE (IRE), unplaced, was unsuited by the Good to Firm ground on this occasion and would prefer an easier surface.
Race 4 - 4:00pm THE CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD EBF "BREEDERS' SERIES" FILLIES' HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) (For the John Travers Memorial Trophy) Permission was given for PHANTASMIC to go early to post.
Prior to this race, the representative of Archie Watson was asked to explain why HERECOMESTHESUN (IRE) was running here at Ascot on going described as Good to Firm, having declared the filly a non-runner at Newmarket on 30 June 2018 on ground with the same official description. The trainer’s representative explained that the ground at Newmarket was, in the trainer’s opinion, faster than the official description of Good to Firm and he was happy for HERECOMESTHESUN (IRE) to take her chance on what he considered to be true Good to Firm ground which had been well watered.
Following the race, Andrea Atzeni reported that ALBIZZIA, unplaced, stopped quickly; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the filly failed to reveal any abnormalities.
Race 5 - 4:35pm THE LONG HARBOUR DEREK LUCIE-SMITH MEMORIAL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Amanda Perrett was fined £140 as the record of vaccinations in the passport of LIGHTNING CHARLIE did not comply with the Rules of Racing.
Edward Greatrex, the rider of the winner, DASCHUS, used his whip above the permitted level from inside the final two furlongs. As the offence warranted a suspension of between 2 and 6 days and taking into account that this was the rider’s fifth such suspension within the previous 6 months, Greatrex was referred to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority.
On the run to the line, HAKAM (IRE), placed fourth, lugged right-handed taking NORMANDY BARRIERE (IRE), unplaced, momentarily off its intended line. After viewing a recording of the incident it was found that no riding offence was involved and it had not improved the placing of HAKAM (IRE).
Following the race, Rossa Ryan reported that HAKAM (USA), placed fourth, hung left-handed under pressure. Andrea Atzeni reported that HOW FAR (IRE), which started favourite and finished unplaced, stopped quickly; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the colt during routine testing failed to reveal any abnormalities.

P. J. McDonald, the rider of the winner, ZAP, was suspended for 2 days for using his whip in the incorrect place approaching the finish line.
Following the race, Jim Crowley reported that SALUTI (IRE), unplaced, stopped quickly and the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the gelding during routine testing failed to reveal any abnormalities. The Veterinary Officer also reported that SWIFT APPROVAL (IRE), placed second, lost its right fore shoe.
Race 2 - 2:25pm THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE STAKES (SPONSORED BY bet365) (CLASS 1) (Group 2) Permission was given for ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY (IRE) to wear a hood in the Parade Ring only.

The Stewards considered that the interference had not improved ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY (IRE)’s placing in that the filly always appeared to be quickening past LA PELOSA (IRE) and MAIN EDITION (IRE) to finish second. Dettori was suspended for 10 days for careless riding as he allowed his mount to shift right without timely or sufficient correction which caused CHICAS AMIGAS (IRE) to be checked and also caused considerable interference to both LA PELOSA (IRE) and MAIN EDITION (IRE).
Race 3 - 3:00pm THE bet365 HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) POET’S PRINCE wore earplugs which were removed at the start.
The Starter reported that COMMUNIQUE (IRE) was the subject of a third criteria failure. Mark Johnston was informed that the colt could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately 2 furlongs out between THE NIGHT PORTER, placed sixth, ridden by John Egan and WISSAHICKON (USA), unplaced, ridden by Frankie Dettori. Egan was cautioned for careless riding as he allowed his mount to edge right causing WISSAHICKON (USA) to be carried slightly off its intended line.
The performance of WISSAHICKON (USA), which started favourite and finished unplaced, was considered. The representative of John Gosden explained that the colt ran too free in the early stages. WISSAHICKON (USA) was routine tested.
The winner, COMMUNIQUE (IRE), appeared to show an improvement in form compared with its previous run at York on 30 June 2018, where the colt finished fifth of six, beaten 10 ½ lengths. Mark Johnston could offer no explanation for the colt’s improved form.
Following the race, Stevie Donohoe reported that DESERT WIND (IRE), placed fourth, was denied a clear run.
Race 4 - 3:35pm THE TATTERSALLS FALMOUTH STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 1) (British Champions Series) Permission was given for ALPHA CENTAURI (IRE) to parade out of order in that it would parade last and OPAL TIARA (IRE) would parade first and be mounted on the course.
The performance of THREADING (IRE), which finished sixth of seven, was considered. Mark Johnston could offer no explanation for the filly’s performance.
Race 5 - 4:10pm THE WEATHERBYS BRITISH EBF MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 3) (PLUS 10 RACE) An enquiry was held following a report from the Veterinary Officer that the trainer, John Gosden, had presented MACHELL PLACE at the racecourse stables for identification with the incorrect passport. They interviewed the Veterinary Officer and the trainer’s representative. It was noted that a clerical error during the naming process had resulted in the incorrect name being placed on the passport of the colt. Being satisfied that a further passport was subsequently presented with the correct identification markings for MACHELL PLACE and that the Veterinary Officer was able to correctly identify the colt from both the microchip and its markings, MACHELL PLACE was allowed to run. The matter was passed to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority for further consideration.
The Starter reported that ART DU VAL was unruly in the stalls and was withdrawn at 4:12pm. Charlie Appleby was informed that the colt could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
Following the race, Colm O’Donoghue reported that JOURNEY OF LIFE, unplaced, ran green and lost its action.
Race 6 - 4:45pm THE GORDON'S HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) Following the race, Alan King reported that ELGIN, unplaced, was unsuited by the going, which was officially described as Good to Firm on this occasion, and would prefer an easier surface. The gelding was routine tested.
Race 7 - 5:20pm THE SAEED SUHAIL SAEED HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Permission was given for SWISS STORM to be ponied early to start.
Following the race, Jim Crowley reported that ROLL ON RORY, unplaced, was slowly away. View Stewards report York, 13 Jul 18 Race 1 - 2:05pm THE JIGSAW SPORTS BRANDING BRITISH EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 3) (PLUS 10 RACE) Following the race, Tom Eaves reported that BALDWIN (IRE), unplaced, was upset in the stalls.

Race 2 - 2:40pm THE WILLIAM HILL LEADING RACECOURSE BOOKMAKER HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) Following the race, Lewis Edmunds reported that MANJAAM (IRE), placed sixth, stopped quickly. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination, during routine testing, of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities.
Race 3 - 3:15pm THE WILLIAM HILL SUMMER STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 3) Dane O’Neill, the rider of PRETTY BABY (IRE), placed second, was suspended for 4 days for using his whip above the permitted level from 2 furlongs out.
Following the race, W.M. Lordan reported that COULD IT BE LOVE (USA), which started favourite and finished unplaced, ran flat. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination, during routine testing, of the filly, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
Race 4 - 3:50pm THE ACTURIS HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) MAIFALKI (FR) wore earplugs throughout the race.
Approximately 2 furlongs out the winner, DELPH CRESCENT (IRE), shifted quickly left as the rider changed his whip, causing the rider of EVERYTHING FOR YOU (IRE), placed sixth, to take a slight check, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of DELPH CRESCENT (IRE).
Following the race, Paula Muir reported that DUCK EGG BLUE (IRE), placed eighth, was slowly away and Dane O’Neill reported that JAHAAFEL (FR), unplaced, ran too free.
Race 5 - 4:25pm THE GARBUTT + ELLIOTT NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Permission was given for BIG BOOTS (IRE) to go early to post.
An enquiry was held into the false start of this race, due to the premature opening of stall 2, allowing KODYANNA (IRE), to jump early. Oisin Murphy, the rider, and the Starter were interviewed. The Starter stated that the stalls were checked prior to the race, and have been recently serviced, but was unable to explain why the stall had opened. He further added that KODYANNA (IRE) was checked by the Veterinary Surgeon prior to being reloaded, and deemed fit to race. The rider stated that the filly had stood calmly despite the colt next to him being restless, and was also unable to provide any explanation. Their comments were noted.
Approximately 1 furlong out, BIG ACE, placed second, edged right briefly crowding the winner, KODYANNA (IRE) for room, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.
Race 7 - 5:30pm THE GOUGH & KELLY APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Following the race, Georgia Cox reported that RED CYMBAL, unplaced, hung left under pressure. View Stewards report Ffos Las, 13 Jul 18 Nothing to report

7.50 Cork
5/2 Arctic Fire 7:50 Cork Arctic Fire is a former Grade 1 and Cheltenham Festival winner, who has been second to Hurricane Fly once and Faugheen three times. Last time we saw him he was finishing third, beaten less than two lengths, in the 2017 Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Hurdle. Since then he has been off the track for 441 days and moved from the Willie Mullins yard to Denis Cullen in Naas. Does the old ability remain? He is only nine, so it is possible. Given Denis O'Regan is in the saddle we will probably not find out until the final few furlongs.
Voodoo Doll 8.05 Ffos Las
7/1 Voodoo Doll 8:05 Ffos Las Evan Williams' Voodoo Doll is not just the ideal horse for pin-stickers, he is sure to tempt plenty of form book students as well. The five-year-old has won his last two starts, the first by four and a half lengths and the second by a head. That narrow margin, coupled with the third, fourth and fifth all finishing within two lengths, might suggest the handicapper is starting to get to grips with Voodoo Doll. But this does not look as if it will take as much winning and it could be argued the winner was doing only just enough.

The fury felt by ITV over Ascot's decision to sign a broadcast deal with Sky is expected to be made public after it emerged the sport's mainstream television partner plans to punish the royal racecourse by dropping plans to show the Shergar Cup on its main channel.
In a remarkable development, it is understood ITV director of sport Niall Sloane has reversed his earlier decision to promote the international jockeys competition from the slot it held last year on ITV4. It was announced only on Monday that the Dubai Duty Free-backed Shergar Cup would be given the prestigious position of an ITV main channel home on August 11.
However, within 24 hours of that announcement Sloane and other senior ITV Sport figures were left stunned on being informed by Ascot it had opted to end its association with Racing UK and instead revive its old relationship with At The Races, which will next year be rebranded as Sky Sports Racing.
ITV let it be known on Tuesday that it viewed Ascot's move – which was organised by the track's chief commercial officer Juliet Slot – as "bizarre". The network, which replaced Channel 4 as the home of free-to-air racing in Britain at the start of 2017, is known to be angry given Sky was one of the rivals for ITV's current four-year contract.
Industry sources believe Sky Sports Racing – which will have Ascot as the jewel in its crown from March 2019 – will again bid for the next set of mainstream rights.
ITV has also noted Ascot's arrangement with Sky Sports Racing lasts for less than two years and comes up for renewal at the end of 2020, which is exactly when its own contract expires.
Asked about the Shergar Cup situation, Ascot director of racing Nick Smith said: "Scheduling matters are in the hands of ITV."

Mukalal (1.40 Newmarket)
Made a satisfactory return at Ascot last month and Marcus Tregoning's strapping four-year-old can make his presence felt.
15/2 Mukalal 1:40 Newmarket (July) Longshot: Sam King
Mountain Rescue (1.40 Newmarket)
This horse has the all-important course form, which could the key to a big run at Newmarket. A strongly run race should suit and he appears to have a live each-way chance in a wide open Bunbury Cup.
28/1 Mountain Rescue 1:40 Newmarket (July) Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Rita Levi (2.00 Navan)
Runner-up to two Ballydoyle fillies on both her starts, the daughter of Kodiac has strong claims over the course and trip where she ran Gossamer Wings close last month. She gets the vote to score for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.

In the past two years, William Haggas operates at 45 per cent strike-rate when applying a tongue-tie for the first time. Beshaayir (2.25 Ascot) and Humble Hero (4.15 York) look to hold solid chances.
Harry Bentley operates at an impressive 43 per cent strike-rate when riding for Henry Candy at the Newmarket July course. The pair team up with Limato in the July Cup (2.15), who was an impressive winner of this race two years ago.
It’s worth following French trainer Andre Fabre in the two-week period either side of this date as he operates at a 30 per cent strike-rate (+£105.80 profit to level stakes). Trais Flours (1.20) looks to have a good chance at Ascot if replicating his 2017 form.

8/1 The Missus 5:35 Newton Abbot Two runs this year can both be excused on account of unsuitably soft ground, and she’s undergone wind surgery since.
The handicapper has dropped The Missus a total of 8lb for those defeats, and it would be no surprise to see her bounce back to form against a host of one-paced rivals.

in today's sporting life................... Ben Linfoot seeks out the best Value Bet selections on Super Saturday at Ascot, Newmarket and York and he's tipping seven selections at big prices on a cracking day's action. Recommended Bets: Value Bet, Super Saturday, July 14 1pt win Polybius in 12.45 Ascot at 12/1 For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, visit our transparent tipping record It’s being branded a ‘Super Saturday’ this weekend with great racing everywhere you look, various Cups are being handed out at York and Newmarket and Ascot offer up a fair card as well. With 10 races live on various ITV platforms, including five handicaps, we better get straight into the bets and the John Smith’s Cup at York, the 59th running there of, is a good place to start. Dash Of Spice, 4lb well-in, heads the betting and he’s a worthy favourite such is his rapid rate of progression, but he’s worth taking on down in trip as he’s improved bundles over a mile and a half. Behind him it’s wide open, but I thought the 14/1 (General) about WHAT’S THE STORY was fair because if he’s going to get 10 furlongs it’ll be on a flat track like York. He wasn’t beaten far on his only previous try at the trip and he’s certainly bred for it, being a half-brother to Major Mac, while his runs over a mile suggest he could well improve for an extra couple of furlongs. A setback curtailed his three-year-old career, but he looks to be making up for lost time now and he’s really improved with racing, his last two performances being the best of his career. A win at Newcastle off a mark of 93 in early June was followed up by a cracking run in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot, where he ran a close-up fourth off 98 despite being bumped by Afaak just over a furlong out. 12 1 What's The Storyp24 49-0OR: 96 12/1 T: K DalgleishJ: Callum Rodriguez (3) Form: 394514Last Run Live betting powered by Last year Ballet Concerto followed up in this race after finishing fourth in the Hunt Cup and being left alone by the handicapper and, like him, What’s The Story has escaped punishment by the assessor. Drawn in stall one, Ebor-winning jockey Callum Rodriguez, who is two from three on the horse, can get a handy position early on with his speed for a mile likely to be crucial as they travel into the home straight. I do want two strings to my bow in this race and the 20/1 (General) about Dermot Weld’s TANDEM is also worth getting on side. He seems to have been underestimated in the market, perhaps on account of his age, but he’s no ordinary nine-year-old and is relatively lightly-raced with just 26 starts to his name under both codes in six years. A total of 18 of those have been on the Flat on turf and he’s won seven of them, so he has a tremendous strike-rate in this discipline and the best of those runs came last time out at Cork. He was third that day off a mark of 100 over a mile and a half, just being run out of things in the final quarter mile after travelling the best to the 10-furlong point. The drop in trip looks a positive and this time last year Tandem won a valuable 10-furlong handicap at Leopardstown on fast ground off a mark of 99. 8 16 Tandem27 99-4OR: 100D 16/1 T: D K WeldJ: O J Orr (3) Form: 1119-43Last Run Live betting powered by Having had just three runs on the Flat since then, none of which were over a mile and a quarter, he’s done well to get in here off just a 1lb higher mark and Oisin Orr claims another 3lb as well. His career form figures over 1m2f are 13411 and his career form figures on Good to Firm are 113, so conditions look absolutely perfect for him and a big run is expected. Earlier on at York COMMANDER COLE looks a good bet at 9/1 (General) in the John Smith’s Racing Handicap (3.10). He’s not shown an awful lot in two starts after a long absence, but his Thirsk run was his first for 526 days and then last time he finished sixth at Newbury after racing on the wrong part of the track on Lockinge Day where nothing got into things up the stands’ side all afternoon. The good thing is the handicapper has dropped him 8lb for two runs which means he’s just 3lb higher than when hosing up at Wolverhampton in the November of 2016. 3 7 Commander Coleh56 49-11OR: 97 9/1 T: S bin SuroorJ: William Cox (5) Form: 2611/46Last Run Live betting powered by His trainer Saeed bin Suroor has an excellent record at York, a 20 per cent win strike-rate for his career, and after a torrid start to the campaign, he’s now firing in the winners with a 35 per cent strike-rate for the last fortnight. It looks significant that he’s chosen York for Commander Cole to run off his revised mark, then, and William Cox (five from 12 at 42 per cent for Bin Suroor) takes off 5lb for good measure. Sporting Life ✔ @sportinglife 🏇🏻 Not only is 'Super Saturday' upon us but so is our new 'tipometer'! 🎥 Professional Tom Hardy stunt double @daveord and @benlinfoot share their best bets for Saturday's racing at @newmarketrace and @yorkracecourse 👍🏻 Good luck with your Saturday wagers! 4:46 PM - Jul 13, 2018 1 See Sporting Life's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Over at Newmarket the Darley July Cup takes centre stage and I’m not convinced by those at the top of the market. Blue Point loves Ascot and won over a strongly-run five furlongs last time, while U S Navy Flag drops back from a mile and is without a win in his last five starts. It looked a weaker renewal of the Commonwealth Cup this year with them all finishing in a bunch and while Dreamfield could well be the one, he looks pretty short considering the leap in class. The one I want to back is REDKIRK WARRIOR at 11/1 (GENERAL) as he’s a proven top-class performer who has drifted to a very backable price on the back of one bad run. Connections felt he was never happy at Royal Ascot, changing his legs a few times and running well below form, but he’s had time to acclimatise now and Merchant Navy, who won the Diamond Jubilee, franked his Australian form emphatically. Redkirk Warrior gave Merchant Navy 12lb and a beating in the Group One Lexus at Flemington in March, which gives us a clear indication of his talent, and he warmed up for this task with a nice piece of work on the July Course the other day. 6 2 Redkirk Warriorb,t21 79-6OR: 121D 11/1 T: David & B DabernigJ: Regan Bayliss Form: 100-110Last Run Live betting powered by Regular Aussie jockey Regan Bayliss has been flown in to ride him this time and he’s quite simply a class animal that is available at bigger odds than a handful that haven’t achieved anywhere near as much as he has in his career. There are some good handicaps to get stuck into at Newmarket as well, including the bet365 Bunbury Cup Handicap at 1.40. It’s not the greatest renewal of this prestigious handicap but I like the look of Roger Varian’s SPANISH CITY at 12/1 (bet365, 11/1 General). This son of Exceed And Excel is highly progressive over seven furlongs on fast ground and he didn’t run badly when fourth at York last time. He just about hit the front two furlongs out before being swamped by Above The Rest and company down the middle of the track and those that challenged down the centre looked to have an advantage. 20 15 Spanish City28 58-7OR: 91BFD 9/1 T: R VarianJ: Jack Mitchell Form: 6/4-1614Last Run Live betting powered by He’s well worth another chance off his new mark and I like that he sneaks into this off bottom weight with plenty of pace drawn around him. Varian’s horses are running really well – he’s operating at a 29 per cent strike-rate for July – and Spanish City could well land him another nice pot here under favourable conditions. Also at Newmarket it could be worth chancing Richard Fahey’s CLUBBABLE (14/1 Ladbrokes, 12/1 General) in the bet365 Mile Handicap at 3.20. She’s got Curiosity to beat in this as he only went up 3lb for running a fine second in the Britannia, but he’s been well found in the market and Clubbable looks a tad underestimated considering the improvement she could find up in trip. A winner in handicaps off marks of 81 and 85 already this year, she improved again when running second to stablemate Dance Diva at Carlisle where she might’ve won in another 50 yards. 5 3 Clubbable17 39-1OR: 94 10/1 T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Form: 61-1712Last Run Live betting powered by It’s not the first time she’s hinted a mile will bring out the best in her and she’s a half-sister to 10-furlong winner Visitant, while her dam’s best effort came over that trip as well. Her handicap form is good as Zap, who she beat at York in May, won a handicap at Newmarket on Friday, while Crossing The Line, who she beat at Chelmsford, came out and won at Chester at the end of June. A career-best will be required off her new mark of 94, but the trip can help her produce just that and at 14/1 she’s worth backing. Finally, at Ascot, the afternoon’s action kicks off with the 20-runner Bet With Ascot Heritage Handicap sprint over five furlongs and POLYBIUS looks the bet in this at 12/1 (General). He’s been nibbled at in the market on Friday afternoon but there’s still some juice in his price yet as he looks primed and ready to record his first victory in three years. Second in this very race last year off a 6lb lower mark when finding a little trouble in-running, that was further evidence that he loves Ascot and this is the first time he’s been back since. 8 12 Polybius9 79-3OR: 96BF 8/1 T: D M SimcockJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 85-9654Last Run Live betting powered by An unsuccessful stint in Meydan saw his mark slide down to one in the 90s and he ran a perfectly fair race at Epsom on his first start for 138 days last time, as he was a bit keen and didn’t seem to handle the track too well. He was only beaten just over two lengths despite that, though, and, back at Ascot, he’s handicapped to win with Oisin Murphy (form figures of 342 on the horse) a positive jockey booking.

Top commentator Simon Holt has been in good form this week and he's back with two best bets for Super Saturday. Recommended Bets: Saturday 2pts win US Navy Flag in 2.15 Newmarket at 13/2 2pts win Appeared in 3.40 York at 11/1 Click on the above links for live Oddschecker markets For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, click here US NAVY FLAG, one of the hardest-working horses trained by Aidan O'Brien, can gain further reward for his industry dropped to six furlongs in Saturday's Darley July Cup at Newmarket. Last year's Middle Park and Dewhurst Stakes winner (both races on the Rowley Mile course), hasn't been able to get his head in front in four starts so far this season but, when fifth in the French Guineas and second in the Irish Guineas, it was clear that a mile was just beyond him. US Navy Flag had another tough task at that trip last time in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and I thought he showed a striking amount of pace under a very aggressive ride from Ryan Moore. He was still in front just over a furlong from home before fading somewhat predictably, and sprinting could well be the right option now. Indeed, I was slightly surprised that O'Brien wasn't tempted by the Commonwealth Cup at the Royal meeting. Kings Stand (5f) winner Blue Point is the likely favourite but, while all his other victories have come at six furlongs, there have been other occasions when he hasn't quite got home and last month's performance certainly advertised his speed. While very smart, I suspect that William Buick's mount could just be a shade vulnerable in the (uphill) closing stages. Limato and Brando, second and third respectively behind Harry Angel in this race last year, could well be involved again even though the former (and 2016 winner) hasn't really fired so far this season even accounting for running over a mile which probably stretches him. An on-song Limato would be a major threat to all on his favoured fast surface but Brando has been running a bit better, beating Sir Dancealot in the Abernant Stakes on the Rowley Mile course in April before chasing home Harry Angel at York. Kevin Ryan's stable-star looked a touch flat behind Merchant Navy at The Curragh on his latest start at the end of May, and his subsequent seven-week absence should have freshened him up. For me, this could be too much of a step up in class at this stage for the lightly-raced Wokingham runner-up Dreamfield (rated 13lb inferior to Blue Point) while there is little between Eqtidaar and Sands Of Mali, first and second in the Commonwealth Cup. Aussie raider Redkirk Warrior showed little sparkle when unplaced (along with Sir Dancealot and Spirit Of Valor) in the Diamond Jubilee. 14 12 U S Navy Flagb25 39-0OR: 113D 6/1 T: A P O'BrienJ: R L Moore Form: 10-4529Last Run Live betting powered by At York, APPEARED looks another very interesting contender dropped in trip in the 59th John Smith's Cup. This very useful six-year-old has run well in the last two runnings of the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot over a mile and a half and was just in front over a furlong out last month having travelled smoothly only to be outstayed, losing two places in the final furlong, behind the re-opposing Dash Of Spice (Sir Chauvelin second, Thundering Blue 11th) on his first outing for ten months. Dash Of Spice will be well fancied to follow up here, but may have to be ridden quite aggressively dropping back in trip whereas, for the selection (on 5lb better terms), this could be ideal. Appeared should have no problems with this course either having scored here in 2016 (1m4f) when striking the front well over a furlong out, and in one or two other races at that longer trip he has finished a little tamely. Although a bit disappointing last time, Thundering Blue was a convincing winner over this course and distance in May and, while 7lb higher this time, is likely to run much better providing he gets a clear run. Meanwhile, this trip definitely looks on the sharp side for Ascot runner-up Sir Chauvelin and, in contrast, Royal Hunt Cup (1m) runner-up Afaak needs to prove he can stay. 4 20 Appeared22 69-7OR: 103BFC 10/1 T: R VarianJ: Andrea Atzeni Form: 3/1258-4Last Run

Our star columnist is relishing running Sands Of Mali in the Darley July Cup and has a horse-by-horse guide to his full Saturday team. Big chances: 1440 Chester 5 4 Crotchet20 38-3OR: 81BF 5/4 T: R A FaheyJ: P Mathers Form: 03-8322Last Run Live betting powered by 1615 York 4 8 Northwest Frontierb21 49-2OR: 86D 3/1 T: R A FaheyJ: J Garritty Form: 7-63112Last Run Live betting powered by 1900 Hamilton 6 4 Cameo Starp12 39-2OR: 72CD 7/2 T: R A FaheyJ: Sebastian Woods (5) Form: 0-90413Last Run Live betting powered by Everything has gone well with Sands Of Mali in his preparation for the Darley July Cup. We’re very happy with him and of course he ran really well in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time. He was drawn away from the main action that day when beaten by Eqtidaar and I’m slightly worried that we’re away from the fancied horses this time around too. There’s speed close to us though which will help and while the far side dominated the six furlong handicap here on Thursday, Paul Hanagan said they were always in front and it didn’t feel like a draw bias. The stalls come stands’ side on Saturday too which will help. I’m really looking forward to running him and hope things fall right. Clubbable is very tough and hardy and she steps up to a mile in the very competitive bet365 Mile Handicap. I think the trip is going to suit her and while she needs to improve to win it, the extra furlong could unlock a bit from her. They went no pace in the race Mr Lupton ran in at Sandown last week and it was a complete non-event for him. In contrast they should go a real good clip in the John Smith's City Walls Stakes at York and that will really suit my fellow. I’d expect a better run. It was great to see Third Time Lucky bounce back at Ayr last time – when he arguably should have won. He ran into all sorts of trouble there and is well handicapped now so you’d like to see him go close in the John Smith's Racing Handicap. It’s unbelievable that Another Touch has landed stall 19 for the John Smith’s Cup. He was in the exact same slot last year and was never able to get to them and again we’re again totally at the mercy of what the others do. The hope is they go a real good gallop and we can slot in and come through late. There were no excuses for Northwest Frontier at Ayr last time but he’s a horse still on an upward curve and the return to two miles in the John Smith's Stayers' Handicap is going to suit him. He needs to step up again but it’s possible given the form he’s in right now. Absolute Dream ran really well at Redcar last time, just touched off in second, and the form was franked on Thursday with the third horse winning. He needs to go forward again to win the John Smith's Novice Median Auction Stakes but there’s more to come from him. He’s quite laid back and getting better with racing. We’re double-handed in the closing John Smith's Nursery but I don’t think the handicapper has been particularly to either of our runners. Aurag showed improved form to win at Hamilton last time. Before that he’d have been rated about 60 – now he’s 79. It seems tough to me but let’s hope the handicapper is right. Posh Perfect won on very fast ground at Pontefract last time and if you watch the race she was the only one who handled the surface. Again, she’s hardly thrown-in rated 78 but is very tough, genuinely and tries hard. Call Him Al probably needs to go down the nursery route and runs in the TMT/EBF Stallions Novice Stakes at Chester. I’d be surprised if he could win a race like this but that’s why we have a handicapping system for horses like him. I hope he runs well and then it’s down to the handicapper. The Signature Living Fillies' Handicap looks a good opportunity for Crotchet. She’s in great order and running really well right now. We’ve absolutely no excuses in this and it would be great to see her get her head in front. Kimberella needs to bounce back from a very disappointing effort at Newcastle last time when he runs in the Corbettsports City Plate. We don’t know what happened there but Chester and seven furlongs suits him and while stall seven is a little wider than you’d like to be drawn, he’s capable of going well. Andok ran his best recent race at this track so we’re coming back for the CSP Audio Visual Handicap. He didn’t stay the mile-and-a-half at York last time and this is a more suitable test for him. We also run Dark Devil who is down in grade. They’ve had rain in Chester which will suit him and while he has a big weight to carry, he seems very well at home. Gabrial The Devil handled the track well when second here last time and he has his chance in the MBNA Handicap. Gabrials Centurion ran ok in a warm race here last time and the MKM Building Supplies Apprentice Handicap could be a decent opening for him. Micronize has shown nothing either at home or on the track so far and needs to improve drastically in the BB Foodservice Novice Auction Stakes at Hamilton. Our finally runner is Cameo Star in the JFM Electrical Ltd, Services & Facilities Management Handicap and I’ve been a fraction disappointed with him for all he won a couple of starts ago. I just don’t think we’ve got all the ingredients right yet but and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him go very close – or even win this.

David Ord fired in a treble on Thursday and sides with a David O'Meara runner at Chester as his best bet for Super Saturday. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, July 14 Nap: 5.25 Chester 1 4 Weellan15 310-0OR: 81D 3/1 T: D O'MearaJ: C J McGovern (3) Form: 4-42124Last Run Live betting powered by Next best: 3.35 Ascot 1 3 Cross Counter23 39-7OR: 101 5/2 T: C ApplebyJ: A Kirby Form: 1-124Last Run Live betting powered by Treble: 3.20 Newmarket 1 8 First Contact23 39-7OR: 100 13/2 T: C ApplebyJ: James Doyle Form: 1210Last Run Live betting powered by Weellan appeals as the sort to take to the unique test that is Chester and will take some pegging back in the closing MKM Building Supplies Apprentice Handicap. He has been upwardly mobile since joining the David O’Meara team this season and ran well in a decent race at Newmarket last time. He travels strongly through his races and should quickly get to the front here from stall four. Knighted and On A May Day will keep him honest at the head of affairs but the selection is in great nick right now and fend off the chasing pack for his in-form yard. Cross Counter can successfully concede weight all round in the Woodford Reserve Handicap at Ascot. Charlie Appleby’s charge is still lightly raced and took his form to a new level when fourth in the King George VI Handicap at the Royal meeting last month. He was making his handicap debut there and was forced wide turning in, running only well all the way to the line. He’s three pounds higher here but there’s plenty more in the locker and he looks a solid bet. So is stablemate First Contact in the Bet365 Handicap at Newmarket. This is a warm heat but he caught the eye in the Britannia last time, finding himself with plenty to do but beginning a good run when short of room a furlong out. He can get the better of two improving rivals in Ibraz and Argentello. Daily Nap record: -15.30pts

Get all the whispers ahead of a mouthwatering weekend of racing with our top gossip column - and Hughie Morrison is expected to be among the winners. Escape The City is from a family trainer Hughie Morrison knows well and he will have been delighted with her comeback effort when third at 66/1 to Agrotera in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. Her dam Jasmeno improved steadily during her second season and Escape The City should be capable of stepping up on that performance on her return to Ascot for the Trant Engineering Handicap. 5 7 Escape The City22 39-0OR: 83 11/4 T: H MorrisonJ: S De Sousa Form: 14034-3Last Run Live betting powered by Polybius was beaten only three-quarters of a length by a bang-in-form Danzeno in the Bet With Ascot Heritage Handicap 12 months ago and is fancied to go one better in this year's renewal . David Simcock gave the son of Oasis Dream a good break after a less than lucrative spell at Meydan during the winter and he returned to action with a promising effort at Epsom nine days ago. The handicapper has been kind to him and he is now racing off a six pounds lower mark than in 2017. 8 12 Polybius9 79-3OR: 96BF 8/1 T: D M SimcockJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 85-9654Last Run Live betting powered by Makseem did not enjoy the best of luck in running on his outing at last year's Newmarket July Meeting and will be seeks compensation in the bet365 Bunbury Cup. Roger Charlton has had his frustrations with this brother to his Eclipse winner Al Kazeem but he showed after his defeat in the 2017 Silver Bunbury Cup that he is a very smart performer on his day. Although he would possibly be happier on easier ground, he has form on a faster surface and the fact Ryan Moore is booked for the ride shows that connections mean business. His stable is now in very good form after a quiet first half of the season and he should be able to leave his two slightly disappointing performances so far this term firmly behind him. 5 8 Makzeemt54 59-5OR: 103CD 7/1 T: R CharltonJ: R L Moore Form: 2614-67Last Run Live betting powered by Sands Of Mali, one of the leading juvenile sprinters last season, merits each-way consideration in the Group One Darley July Cup. Richard Fahey is no stranger to winning this prestigious prize and runs a progressive colt this time around. The winner of the most recognised trial for the Commonwealth Cup, Haydock's Sandy Lane Stakes, he went very close to following up in the Group One dash at the big meeting. He might have beaten Eqtidaar with a more advantageous draw. The performance was better than his win at Haydock and he has pleased connections with his subsequent work. 12 5 Sands Of Mali22 39-0OR: 116D 8/1 T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Form: 109-112Last Run Live betting powered by Three Card Trick was thought to be very much in need of the race on his debut at York last month, but surprised connections with a very good second in what looked a decent maiden. He will be fancied to overcome a modest draw in the Stallions Novice Stakes at Chester. The son of Piccolo is a full brother to Kevin Ryan's Group Two winner Tiddliwinks and showed plenty of speed before just being outpointed by the more experienced Dunkerron last time. Three Card Trick can now use his early dash to get across towards the rail from his number six stall and should be able to outpoint his market rival Deputise, who must overcome the outside berth and the concession of a lumpy 11 pounds 6 6 Three Card Trick14 29-2OR: - 7/4 T: K A RyanJ: A Mullen Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by Andrew Balding is pretty much the staple diet for this column when it comes to the Roodeye and he can strike again around the tight twists and turns with the consistent King Lud in the Raymond & Kathleen Corbett Memorial Handicap and course winner Chai Chai In the MKM Building Supplies Apprentice Handicap. Federal Law can see off a talented field and land his first success in the Saunton Sands Hotel North Devon Novice Stakes at Salisbury. Archie Watson has a highly powered team of juveniles and this son of Scat Daddy looked a certain future winner when chasing home the more experienced Daafr at Newcastle 16 days ago. That rival stepped up to Group Two company at Newmarket on Friday afternoon and Federal Law should show improvement both from the experience of the initial outing and the step up from six to seven furlongs. 2 5 Federal Law16 29-2OR: - 10/3 T: Archie WatsonJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by Rum Lad can emulate his dam Madame Mojito and win on his debut for John Quinn the B.B. Foodservice Novice Auction Stakes at Hamilton. The Malton trainer has his team in great nick and this colt, a son of the very speedy Heeraat, should be well suited by this five furlongs. It looks a good opportunity for him. 3 1 Rum Lad 29-1OR: - 7/1 T: J J QuinnJ: Jason Hart
