Future Racing Tips

Has plenty going for him in the opening sprint, provided he can avoid one of his occasional slow starts. He's run a string of good races at this track and has a favourable draw.

Fast-ground specialist didn't appreciate watered conditions at Newbury but will be a live outsider at his beloved York, especially if the rain stays away.

He wasn't helped with the way the race unfolded when a close sixth in a similarly competitive race at Goodwood, having been denied a clear run.

Sets the standard on his Newmarket win and Goodwood second, and there is a chance the likely stronger pace here can see him take another step forward.

Impressed at Galway last time when running his rivals into submission in a good time, having been a huge eye-catcher on his Fairyhouse debut.

He is weighted to come out on top here in receipt of 5lb, yet is 3-1 because Ryan Moore has chosen his stablemate. Looks to have a serious chance.

Maltese Cross found Christmas Day too strong on soft ground in the Derby but can turn the tables on the quicker ground.

He has very few cracks in his profile and should be hard to topple as he bids to retain his crown after an emphatic win at Royal Ascot.

The highest rated horse to line up in the Juddmonte International since Frankel in 2012 can retain his crown in what promises to be a cracker.

Superb in this last year and at Royal Ascot last time, it is hard to see another rival capable of matching his potent turn of foot over this trip.

Stands out on the clock. He finished best of all when sixth in the Ascot Stakes and ran a cracker when runner-up to Hopewell Rock at Goodwood last time in a contest where the RaceiQ Time Index was 10, when the meeting average was 7.

He was stuck on the wing at Goodwood when making his challenge, which wasn't ideal, and is likely to outrun his odds here now 9lb better off with the winner Naana's Shadow.

Ran well from the front at Royal Ascot in a good time and then again at Goodwood when third, and meets the winner of that latest race on better terms, with this track (and draw) likely to suit.

His debut second to Libertango in a good time reads well (pair clear) and he's worth risking each-way at 25-1 with first-time blinkers going on. The stable took this with a 33-1 chance last year.

From the family of 1000 Guineas winner and Oaks runner-up Yesterday, she is likely to get at least a mile in time, but I think the stronger tempo of this race should suit, and she should be finishing better than most in a race the yard won with Queen Kindly in 2016.

I think a strongly-run mile on decent ground around a bend are his ideal conditions (dam won over a mile at Thirsk) so this race should be a perfect fit. His trainer should know, having won it in 2009, 2020 and 2025.

Sent off just 13-8 for the Ribblesdale, she was better than the result as she was badly hampered before the furlong pole, having failed to pick up as well as those around her.

This longer straight should enable her to get her long stride going, and it looks the perfect race for a retrieval mission; she's worth backing at 16-1.

This big field (three wins in 14+ runner races) and frenetic pace will play to her strengths once more, as will the quick ground, and she can hit the frame at likely decent odds now back in handicap company.

I think he is now a better horse over this trip - especially in a strongly-run race -and he and Rayevka should be much closer in the betting in my eyes.

Broke the course record when having his first start over 1m 6f at Goodwood last time in a strong race and will be 1lb well in. More improvement on the cards and hard to see him going off 12-1 on the day.

Progressive and unexposed over this trip, his trainer does well from his few runners in this race and he looks like a stayer ahead of his mark. Advised ante-post at 14-1.

The form of his York win on his return to action in May looks strong, and I beleive he is a Group performer in the making. It's also best to forgive his latest effort and he has leading claims if bouncing back to his best. Bet365 are also offering boosted odds of 14-1, an exclusive Racing TV offer!

Emphatic winner over Blue Bolt last year, she has not been seen to best effect this season over a trip too far at York and on ground too quick at Haydock. She has a great record over straight courses against her own sex and is miles too big at 16-1 (ante-post).
