13.10 Paddy Power ‘From The Horse’s Mouth Podcast’ Handicap (Premier Handicap)
PRINCESS CHILD was largely consistent in France and finished good second to the Ralph Beckett-trained Zoum Zoum last time out. She is very interesting, while SHARINAY and FORMAL DISPLAY are others to consider in an open contest.
Tips: Princess Child, Sharinay, Formal Display
13.40 GAIN Railway Stakes (Group 2)
TUNBRIDGE WELLS subsequent Queen Mary runner-up Mighty Eriu over C&D here earlier this month and is respected. PRINCIPALITY had three subsequent winners in behind when winning easily at Goodwood and is feared most for the in-form Levey/Hannon combination. THE STRIKIN VIKING was impressive on debut at York and shouldn’t be discounted either.
Tips: Tunbridge Wells, Principality, The Strikin Viking
14.15 Jebel Ali Racecourse & Stables Dash Stakes (Listed)
COMMANCHE FALLS has C&D-winning form, and the form of his latest second was boosted when the winner Believing made the frame in a pair of Group 1 races at Royal Ascot. Michael Dod’s charge is the one to beat. MY MATE ALFIE shaped very well behind Bucanero Fuerte last time out and may emerge as the main danger.
Tips: Commanche Falls, My Mate Alfie
14.50 Dubai Duty Free Rockingham Handicap (Premier Handicap)
KORKER tends to miss the break, but he’s a very consistent sprinter and will appreciate the ease in grade, having finished third in a Listed race last time out. C&D winner LITTLE QUEENIE arrives on the back of a fine second here, while English raiders LETHAL NYMPH and JM JUNGLE are others to consider. Five-time course winner BIG GOSSEY completes the quintet of picks.
Tips: Korker, Little Queenie, Lethal Nymph, Jm Jungle, Big Gossey
15.25 Colm McLoughlin Celebration Stakes (Listed)
AZADA will find this easier than when sixth in the Irish 1000 Guineas here last time and should be hard to beat. DUNUM and LORD MASSUSUS are generally consistent at this sort of level and can be shortlisted as alternative options.
Tips: Azada, Dunum, Lord Massusus
16.05 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1)
AMBIENTE FRIENDLY ran a huge race to finish second in the Epsom Derby despite racing keenly, and having had Los Angeles over three lengths behind in third, James Fanshawe’s charge is difficult to oppose. He can stamp his class on today’s rivals in the feature race.
Tips: Ambiente Friendly
