ITV Racing is again Saturday with sport from Haydock, Ascot and Kempton, beginning with a Group 3 mile occasion for three-year-olds and above. That is vast open. There must be some tempo to run at with Sparks Fly within the line-up. If we simply put down his horrible run at Goodwood because of the quick floor, then it’s straightforward to offer CICERO’S GIFT one other probability right here for Rossa Ryan and Charlie Hills. The latter’s steady has been just a little gradual of late. However my choice returned after a lay-off with a high quality success at Sandown when the bottom was juicy, suggesting he retains all the flexibility that noticed him end an eye catching seventh within the 2023 St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Evenly raced and would possibly nonetheless have extra to offer.
13:35 Ascot – Blue Prince (each-way)
ITV protection from Ascot begins right here with a 7f handicap. BLUE PRINCE is as excessive within the handicap as he would possibly be capable to go, however he’s in belting type and will give us an each-way run for Dave Evans and David Probert. My hope scored effectively at Goodwood off 89 and was a high quality third on the identical observe off 93 when final seen. That was behind Qirat, who’s a good type, and off the identical mark right here, he ought to have positioned claims at the least. Stays this journey effectively.
Right here’s a handicap over 1m6f and one other difficult occasion. ROAD TO WEMBLEY is bettering and stays strongly for Richard Hughes. A high quality winner within the Racing League when final seen, my choice ought to go on juicy floor, having spent a lot of his profession on the substitute. He had a very good turf run at Newbury, which suggests the inexperienced stuff is not any difficulty, and a slight drop in journey will likely be no difficulty. Finley Marsh takes the journey.
14:10 Ascot – Poniros (each-way)
Right here’s a handicap over 1m4f. I had nice hopes for PONIROS in the beginning of the season and I’ll give him another go right here for Rob Hornby and Ralph Beckett. The Amo Racing inmate began effectively at Windsor when runner-up and chased house King’s Gambit within the London Gold Cup, which is scorching type. After that, the wheels fell off at Royal Ascot and Newmarket final time. The handicapper has solely dropped him 1lb, which is harsh for 2 defeats, suggesting these in energy additionally imagine there may be nonetheless potential there. I’ll have just a few quid on each-way.
14:25 Haydock – Divine Comedy (each-way)
Now, a aggressive handicap within the Outdated Borough Cup over 1m6f. DIVINE COMEDY has shot up the handicap in his final two runs, however he’s a robust stayer at this distance and has a beautiful win at this observe on smooth floor, which suggests he has a stable each-way probability. The Ascot Stakes runner-up was final seen at York when fifth in a staying handicap behind Extensio. The bottom might need been quicker than superb. He might need raced nearer to the tempo than superb. Eachway claims beneath Kaiya Fraser, who takes off 5lb.
14:35 Kempton – Lion’s Pleasure (each-way)
Now we go to Kempton and up in school right here for the Group 3 September Stakes over 1m4f. Hamish is a category act, however I’m not assured about him on this floor. The each-way hope is LION’S PRIDE, who has good Kempton type at this journey and wasn’t disgraced at Goodwood final time despite the fact that final of 5 in a race I don’t assume would have suited him—Kieran Shoemark rides for John & Thady Gosden.
A handicap over 5f. AMERICAN AFFAIR has been very constant recently and must be bang there once more for Amie Waugh, who takes off 5lb, and Jim Goldie. My choice goes with lower within the floor, which has lately scored in huge fields at Thirsk and Musselburgh. Two latest runs on quicker floor recommend he stays in good type. One to to take an opportunity on each-way.
15:15 Kempton – Vultar (each-way)
A handicap over 1m. Helm Rock would have been fascinating right here from a very good draw. However he’s out vast. VULTAR may very well be overpriced for Kieran Shoemark and Clive Cox. My choice loves this floor and wasn’t disgraced at Southwell in a aggressive Racing League occasion final time. He ran effectively right here, off 91 in April, and is now 1lb decrease. So, on that foundation, I’ll probability just a few quid each-way from a very good draw.
Now for the large race of the day within the Group 1 Dash Cup over 6f. We’re nonetheless studying about INISHERIN, and realizing what circumstances go well with him finest is tough. Nonetheless, he bolted up on smooth right here in Sandy Lane, and it’s straightforward to assume that these circumstances go well with him finest as a horse who stays sturdy on this journey. It was a lot quicker when he landed the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, though the type of that race won’t be the strongest of all time. He rallied late within the July Cup when simply behind Artwork Energy. At his finest, I feel the 2000 Guineas sixth is a category above this lot. Artwork Energy shouldn’t be a foul each-way guess if you wish to probability one thing at lengthy odds. Inisherin goes for Kevin Ryan and Tom Eaves.
