Overpass ran a blinder on Tuesday and returns to his best trip here and just looks overpriced at 18/1. I have a doubt over the fav on quick ground and Satono Reve is a justifiable alternative but there's little between that one and the selection on ratings. At 18/1 he's my ew bet of the day.

Bacio and Starmade hold the two rail positions and after shaking my head in disbelief that only one jockey knew that watching the Sandringham! I'm taking Starmade at the prices and I think he has plenty more in the tank after winning very nicely once shaken up; it was the visual rather than the time of the race and the 3rd has won since and the 4th has shown improvement to finish second on his next run. If Harry Davies can stick to the rail, I think he can outstay the Wesley Ward horse and win.

Causeway has the strongest form in this race but also likely to step up on what he's already achieved. If Water into Wine can beat him, then fair play to him, but he's too short in the market given his relative inexperience and I'm backing the AOB/Moore combo.

The horses drawn high here have been found in the market so I've tried to find one that's unexposed, with strong form lines and my dart landed on Jack Channon's Mezcala. They were initially targeting the Hunt Cup but he finished 3rd in the Lockinge Day mile handicap so only ended up on 94 (took a mark of 98 to get into the Hunt Cup today). He was behind Classic and Indalo that day, both of whom I have a lot of time for and drawn in 30, he could be hard to stop here and will want every yard of the 7f trip.

Conclave comes here unexposed, with just 3 runs so far and with a win in the Stewards room, a close 2nd to the subsequent Dante 4th, then another win in a 3 runner Hamilton maiden. That course is often seen as a nice place to prep inexperienced horses for this meet and the key for me here is the draw, with high rail drawn horses holding a strong advantage so far this week. At 22/1 I think he's just too big and he's my ew swing in this race.

I'm going in early on this one but its another brilliantly competitive handicap that could easily be a group race. I've got 5 in my tracker in this, but the one that jumps out is Owen Burrows, Heyzoom. He beat a really nice horse of Harry Charlton's, Besieged, who then went and bolted up at Salisbury by 14 lengths. That form might not be the most reliable, on soft ground and with a 150/1 shot back in second, but there is little doubt that Heyzoom is well treated off 85. Due the the early close, he's actually been reassessed and is now officially 3lb well in tomorrow and I can't see him being out of the first 5 and I think he's a very likely winner. I think the biggest threat might be Tierra Del Toro, who ran well in the London Gold Cup, often a strong race to follow, with this year's renewal likely to back that up.

However, she's now on a mark of 70 and whilst still with a bit in hand, at the prices, I'm going to take a chance on James Owen's Eloquencia, who has improved with each run, looks to have been patiently handled and could be a solid ew option here at 5/1.

Controlla looks to have a strong chance in this new race (same name, completely different conditions). There's little to go on in terms of form, but this one ran a blinder on debut and he looks to be drawn OK. He quickened up nicely on debut, beaten only by one of the favs for the earlier Queen Mary, Victorious, with both pulling a mile clear of the rest. I'm playing safe with the Ballydoyle connections having the fav, but I think he's the most likely winner.

This is my NAP of the second day. She was given a mark of 105 giving the option of this handicap when the connections were fully expecting to be pushed into group company. She ran a brilliant race LTO, arguably unlucky not to win and its a case of "group horse in a handicap" to me, so with 6 places available, she's my strongest bet of the day and one of the strongest of the week.

Linwood has been in my tracker a while but the form of his Spring Cup win has worked out phenomenally well. He beat Classic that day, who went on to win another good Newbury race but this one has been packed up presumably with this race in mind. Connections reportedly mulled over the Prix d'Isaphan (now named after the Aga Khan) after the Spring Cup win but they've protected his mark, surely with this being the big target. Jamie Spencer is booked and very few have the straight track credentials that he has. With 6 ew places available, he's a good bet, albeit I'd have preferred a higher draw.

I'm going to take a chance on a couple at big prices in the Queen Mary, although I do think Victorious and Wild Blossom have strong form, I think the draw is a big question mark for both. Shimmering Sun was very green on debut but showed a good turn of foot and looked quite a powerful 2yo. The booking of Dylan Brown McMonagle is eyecatching and at 33/1, she's a nice price for one with an unexposed profile, big scope for improvement and potentially a good draw. She is also by last year's winning sire, Havana Grey who has proved a good source of very competitive horses in this race in recent years.

There was a few horses I quite liked in this race but I was at York the day Sing Us A Song finished second to Klassleader, a horse I really liked (and backed that day). He impressed me and has gone up just 2lb for that run and I think both horses are a good bit ahead of their mark. The benefit here is the additional 2 furlongs, which I think could see the selection come on again. Gamrai and Daiquiri Bay are both horses I think are also ahead of their mark and it should be a competitive end to a cracking day's racing.

I really like the chances of Francis-Henri Graffard's horse in this race. It looks very competitive, but not many can boast the group 1 form that Map of Stars does and you are getting 12/1 about him back in a listed (although fair to say it could easily be a group 2) race. James McDonald is a great booking and he thrived last year on quick ground here in the Prince of Wales. He's been gelded since and its an interesting move to drop back to a mile and a quarter. He just looks a huge price to me and was very close to being my nap.

The Royal horse will be all the rage here for the Gosden's but I've gone for one who looks on an attractive mark for this shrewd yard who keep finding winners at the highest levels of the sport. He's had 2 runs over hurdles this year, both over what appeared to be trips short of ideal and this step up, off 92, looks manageable with plenty of potential upside.

At 8/1 he looks sure to run his race and I also like the chances of Night Raider, winner of the Temple, but I think Jim Goldie's horse has kept improving and this race has likely been his target from the moment he won last years race.

I'm very surprised based on his form that GBR has drifted to a very backable ew price. He's looked very smart in his two starts, beating Carry the Flag LTO in impressive style, needing most of the 6f trip (he looks certain to improve when stepped up further) and quickening up nicely. He's bred for the job, being by No Nay Never by a middle distance dam and whilst there are plenty of contenders, the yard have won 11 runnings of this and with 4 places available, he looks the right bet.

I expect More Thunder to come on significantly for his run in the Lockinge, where I was happy with how he saw out the trip at a mile, convincing me that the stiff uphill finish shouldn't blunt his speed. He's a horse I've followed closely and I think there will be significant upside for having that run under his belt and my understanding was that his work wasn't quite as sharp as it could've been in the run up to that race. Notable Speech is a worthy favourite, but the price is short given he's disappointed twice at this meeting and I'm happy to take him on. Opera Ballo is a threat, but has to prove he's up to group 1 standards (he might be) and Docklands is probably a 'safe' ew option, given the course form, but I'm happy to start the meeting entrusting William Haggas to get us off to a flyer.

This feels like a low risk play with ew paying 4 places as most of these are out of form, whereas the selection has proved progressive in recent weeks, including a win under today's amateur. He is only up 3lb from his latest win when he looked well ahead of his mark and Louise Chance takes off a handy 5lb. He looks to have been smartly campaigned and I think he's the most likely winner here.

Aaron Rai had a few weeks off following on from his maiden major but came back last week with a solid 72 holes at the challenging Muirfield Village. He shot an opening round of 73, but played the Friday and Sunday under par and his accuracy should be well suited to this week's track in Toronto. It's another quietish week, with many of the big guns swerving, so the European's have a strong hand but Rai has a strong record in the event and full of confidence, I'd have him much much shorter than the current 33/1 available.

Musical Touch looks interesting here, with Jake Dickson taking 7lb off from a mark of 84, putting him 3lb better off than when 6th in this last year. His last run was a write off following a stalls issue and he missed the break with a flag start by enough to have been considered a NR if he was based in Ballydoyle! He's reportedly in good nick and looks to be drawn where I'd prefer (mid single digits ideal for me) and he can go well today.

Forbidden colours went into my tracker a few weeks back when Ed Walker suggested he might be thrown in off a mark of 73. She's got a lovely pedigree being a Kingman by a Dubawi mare and cost three quarters of a million as a yearling - if she's going to justify that price tag, she has to be winning here. The trainer has suggested her work at home has been good and although this is quite a tricky race to call, I think the price more than compensates for the risk of other improvers or well handicapped types as I'm sure they'll be hoping this is the start of a winning run for her, hopefully progressing towards some black type. She's my Saturday NAP.

It's tough to identify value on the 1X2 markets in the group phase so I'll be looking to take on what I consider unproven favs like Canada here. Its clear they have improved since Qatar but I think Bosnia just look over-priced given this may be the last opportunity for Edin Dzeko to impress on the global stage. I'd make them around a 2/1 to 5/2 shot so I'm hopeful that backing them at just shy of 4/1 could pay dividends.

I think Janna's Journey is back on a winnable mark off 77, having risen over 30lb during a stretch of last season. She was running off 86 when a really good 6th in the Autumn mile here and ran her best race this season LTO in a class 3 at Carlisle. She drops into a class 4 and looks the best horse in the race. Shes well drawn in 6 and I expect her to go very close, I'll be playing her ew, although I might be tempted to lengthen the odds for a place less or 1/4 odds.

Nostrum is a horse I looked very closely at LTO having returned from a long break in the ultra-competitive Victoria Cup when drawn on the wrong side. With that run under his belt, he showed significant improvement to come out and run Boyfriend, a Richard Hannon horse that looks well handicapped (Newbury Spring Cup form) close at Sandown. Mick Appleby's stats aren't great at the moment but Arklow Lad showed that they can ready one for a nice race and this is a decent pot and the hope is, he shows some of his back class to go close here.

I was close to napping this one but I'll look for a bit more of a price in my nap. However, I think this one should win tomorrow, assuming he handles a bit of cut. He ran a very smart horse of Ed Walker's close on his debut, giving him 5lb. That horse, Golden Brown, was still a maiden but had finished 2nd in the two year old trophy at Redcar and 6th in the Harry's Half Million at York. A replication of that form would surely be enough here and I think the booking of Zac Lloyd, already bagging winners, is another bonus.

This is a bit of a punt with an inexperienced 7lb claimer on board, but he ran a good race in a valuable class 4 lto finishing within 2 lengths of a couple of in-form rivals. If he can build on that, he might just give Lexie Clarkson her first winner with another pound back in the weights and now dropping from a class 4 to a class 5 (0-70).

The Ginger Kid was a recent 18/1 winner (and I'm still kicking myself for not tipping and backing him) but today's runner looks interesting as the only horse in the field with experience and expected to step up for that run, where he travelled nicely enough but failed to finish off his race.

This looks risky, as its a race where you need an amount of luck, but Vintage Clarets would've gone very close in the 2023 edition of this race if the stalls failing hadn't blown his chances. I think they may well have been prepping him all year for this shot at redemption as he's on an unbelievable mark of 83. He came 5th last year with Warren Fentiman claiming 5lb off 94, and has Ethan Tindall claiming 5lb this year. His form in that race, or anywhere close would see him have around a stone in hand and he's drawn well enough. It'll need a good ride, but that's more than factored into the 16/1 widely available.

Jamie Snowden rates this horse highly and has been working very well at home. This looks a weak enough bumper between this one and the Dr Newland and Jamie Insole horse, but Snowden's filly is smartly bred and will take all the beating.

This is one I've been waiting for, having dropped from a mark of 106 when acquired by Mrs Fitri Hay, to 87 in just over a year. There's been no shortage of form in the interim which would give him a strong chance here and my only slight concern is the track, although his only 2 runs have been in the Stewards Cup (over 6f). This 5f trip, coupled with a good mark mean he should go very close and he's weighted to overturn the 5l defeat to Dream Composer back at Ripon with a huge 16lb swing in the weights taking into account the claimer. He's my NAP tomorrow.

This is a decent race but Bellarchi has been in flying form here, winning twice before being drawn in the preverbial 'car park' at Chester at their May meeting. He wasn't given a chance there but back here, from an ideal draw, he still looks well treated off just 2lb higher than his recent win and he's a desperate attempt to break my shocking run on here!!!

This looks an open race and I'm going to take a chance on one from the shrewd yard of Edward Smyth-Osborne. He's proved to be a decent trainer with limited resources and this Time Test filly looks likely to improve for a significant step up in trip, with her middle distance and even staying influences in her pedigree. Kieron Shoemark gets the ride and its one of only two for him today. He's in good form and has knocked in a few decent priced winners and I'm hopeful that at 16/1, Thimble can add to that fine recent record.

This doesn't look the strongest of races outside of the top 2 who are both LTO winners, so I think the one that could outrun his odds is Sprinting Speed, who got a slightly strange ride at Leicester when riddent by (the exceptional) Jason Hart. I think he naturally hangs to his left so I'm hopeful the rail will help tonight whereas at Leicester, it drew the horse to a part of the track that was least favoured on the day. He's been dropped a pound and I think he's capable of nicking 3rd place at around 10/1 and potentially troubling the market principles.

Symbol of Majesty looked a good horse when beating Chimes of Thunder (also tipped in the 6:10 at Windsor) in a nice novice event at Haydock last month. She was tough as teak as she beat off the challenge of the Haggas' horse, who is one I think will improve further with time. This is a competitive race, but she is the least exposed and this slight step up in trip should suit. Happy to play the single and related double with Chimes.

Any Which Way was in my tracker after they dropped him in trip for his third start to 7f, looking like one who was desperate for a step up in trip. He duly obliged on handicap debut over 1m 2f, well backed and winning convincingly. He steps up again to (the best part of) a mile and a half, and although he was a certain stayer over a mile and a quarter, I think he should find this within his range. I think he's likely to be an 85+ horse so he'll need to be winning off this mark if that's going to be the case.

This looks a nice race and there may be a few horses worth following from it, so this bet is a small one, but I love a Night of Thunder (who doesn't) and Chimes of Thunder ran a cracker lto behind a horse of the Gosden's that runs again tonight (7:30 at Wolvo). On that running, I'd expect her to be tough to beat here if she has any chance of being a Sandringham type and I expect the patient approach to pay off for this top yard.

Crownbreaker ran a really nice debut behind a smart horse of George Scott's at the Guineas meeting and looks a decent price to go one better with that experience under his belt. Karl Burke's Wathnan filly will be one to watch going forward but the trainer has been keen to get across that his 2yo's are behind where they would normally be given the proximity to Royal Ascot. Expect this one to be smart, but she'll need to be exceptional to beat the Amo horse with experience today. It'll be a race worth following in the short to medium term as I think all of the runners look interesting.
