1.50 Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap (2) 1m1f197y Bet now >>Top Rated & Flags Analyst’s Verdict: The one who appeals

most is Addeybb, who displayed plenty of tenacity when getting the better of an argument with a useful type at Ascot last month and this stiffer test could help unlock further improvement. Euginio and Mutarabby possess potential and Good Omen could still be on a handy mark, but the selection may have most to fear from Rumpole, who should also benefit from this step up in trip.

Betting Forecast: 8 Addeybb, 9.5 Euginio, 11 Good Omen, 12 Frontispiece, 13 Mutarabby, Hold Sway, 15 Emenem, Kings Gift, Leader’s Legacy, 17 Mukalal, 21 Rumpole, 23 Archetype, 29 Monticello, 41 bar

2.25 Markel Insurance Fillies’ Stakes (Lillie Langtry) (Group 3) (1) 1¾m Bet now >>Top Rated & Flags Timeform Rating of previous winners: 118 120 117 120 112 (Avg 117) Analyst’s Verdict: Endless Time hasn’t

quite come up to expectations this term, but both runs could be excused and, if back to the sort of form she was showing in 2016, she’d take all the beating in what doesn’t look like a particularly strong renewal. Melodic Motion, who has dotted up in a trio of handicaps, is the potential big improver, while Natural Scenery is a player if acting under the conditions.

3.00 Qatar Richmond Stakes (Group 2) (1) 6f Bet now >>Top Rated & Flags Timeform Rating of previous winners: 122 121 129 131 126 (Avg 126) Analyst’s Verdict: Headway was an

excellent second in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and can go one better here with further improvement in the offing. Recent July Stakes 1-2 Cardsharp and U S Navy Flag look the pair likely to give the William Haggas-trained colt most to do.

Winter is the one to beat having won 3 Group 1s in a row over a mile this season and the step up to this distance shouldn’t pose a problem. John Gosden has won this 3 times since 2012 and holds a strong hand again with So Mi Dar and Shutter Speed, while Queen’s Trust is also a major player as she bids to give Sir Michael Stoute a record eighth success.

4.10 Telegraph Nursery Handicap (2) 7f Bet now >>Top Rated & Flags Analyst’s Verdict: Mick Channon saddled

the winner of this in 2015 and can repeat the dose with Veejay. He’s not the most flashy of types, but again impressed with his attitude when making it 2-2 at Haydock and this opening mark may well underestimate him. Billesdon Brook and Poetic Steps do not appear to be the first-strings of their respective yards judged on jockey bookings, but they are feared most nonetheless.

is Magical, who found just one too good on debut recently and possesses plenty of scope for improvement. Her biggest threat is likely to come from Roulette, who also shaped very encouragingly in a warm maiden at Newmarket, while Ripley appeals most of the newcomers.

5.20 Tatler Handicap (3) 5f Bet now >>Top Rated & Flags Analyst’s Verdict: Plenty arrive in good

form, including Intense Romance, who improved her excellent strike-rate when scoring at Ascot last week. That was her best effort yet and she is taken to follow up in the finale. Carlton Frankie, Major Jumbo and Fair Cop complete the shortlist.
