ITV Racing is again at York and Newbury Friday beginning right here with a Listed occasion for juvenile fillies over 5f. Working Queen did this column an ideal favour when scoring final time however half the sector was worn out in the beginning that day and she or he may be flattered. I’m comfortable to stay with IT AIN’T TWO, who regarded like a filly to comply with when scoring in an enormous discipline at Newmarket for Hugo Palmer. A half-sister to the helpful Salon d’Or, she ran on strongly out the dip and should have robust claims below William Buick.
ITV present one from Newbury Friday the place I will likely be for the entire card for Sky Sports activities Racing. This can be a wide-open handicap over 1m2f. Glam de Vega is fascinating however exhausting to go along with after 640 days off the monitor. CRACKSKING is my each-way hope for James Fanshawe. He had been gelded earlier than his first run this season and ran a cracker on his return over this course and distance when fifth in an enormous discipline. He was all the time helpful that day from a low draw and off the identical mark right here may be a bit extra harmful if simply ridden barely off the tempo.
MAJESTIC is one other favorite for this column and he saved the eachway cash at Newmarket final time when fourth to Liberty Lane in an aesthetic occasion. That was off the identical mark of 91 as right now, so the ranking is workable, however the worst right here is the journey. Prior to now 1m2f has stretched the stamina a bit however I’ll take my likelihood with the Jack Channon runner each-way below George Bass who takes off a helpful 3lb.
BRIGHT THUNDER may not have overwhelmed a lot on debut at Haydock with the favorite blowing out badly, however she did all the pieces proper and regarded promising. A 270,000 guineas half-sister to Iconic Second, my hope ought to have extra to come back for Karl Burke and Clifford Lee.
It’s exhausting to not stick to TOWER OF LONDON who regarded a stayer with an enormous future when scoring at Meydan in March. The choice was solely fourth within the 2023 St Leger however he appears a pure for all the highest staying occasions this time period and regardless of the presence of Vauban and Gregory I count on him to take all of the beating for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore.
I will likely be massively disenchanted if LEAD ARTIST doesn’t hack up for John & Thady Gosden and Kieran Shoemark. The thrilling son of Dubawi was denied by a fraction within the Wooden Ditton at Newmarket and I’m positive he’s by far the perfect horse to come back from that race. I count on him to enhance bundles and he might be nice. I’ll be gutted if he’s defeated.
