2:50 Longchamp Tips

The draw hasn’t been kind to Cape Orator, but at 9/1 he looks a little overpriced and represents fair each-way value. He bumped into a couple of above-average rivals on debut at Newbury, before quickly making amends with a win second time out at Kempton, and then landing a valuable conditions race at Deauville over today’s trip. On official ratings, he comes out on top of the field, and while some of these may improve past him, Ralph Beckett’s charge set a solid standard with a decent effort in defeat in a Group 2 at Doncaster. His wide draw is not ideal and may limit his chances, but he does hold a Group 1 entry, and from out there he could get a cleaner run than most.
