Beauvatier

85

I love Arc day, which is one of the best days of racing of the year, but it does sometimes throw up some big-priced winners - Kelina won this last year at 22/1. I think there's one overpriced in here, which is Beauvatier. Sent off as the favorite for the Lagardere last year (won by Rosalion) and finished a fair 3rd, and has held his form well this year without winning. Finished 3-3-3 in the last three runs, twice at Group 1 and then finishing close behind Spycatcher over 6f in conditions which suit that rival last time. A return to Longchamp, where he's won in the past, is a positive, and I think it would be no surprise to see him in the mix again.

You have to forgive an underpar performance last time, but the trainer was quite vocal going into the Prix Niel that he was being peaked for the Arc and would need the run. Prior to that, he comfortably won the French Derby with the likes of Sosie and Ghostwriter behind him, and I see no reason he can't confirm form with the former when in peak condition. The latter has also franked that run with a strong 3rd in the Group 1 Eclipse.

I think Starlust will be really suited by Longchamp, having saved his best form for York and shown well on his international travels previously. Stall 2 looks ideal, particularly with Washington Heights likely to go forward from stall 4. His 1L 3rd behind Bradsell in the Nunthorpe shows he's in top form for a yard that is going at a fair rattle of 26% over the last 14 days.

She's better than her run last time, and Ryan Moore keeps the faith. Prior to that, she was unbeaten, bolting up at Royal Ascot and then twice beating her stablemate Exactly (albeit only by 0.5L last time). She went too hard in the Moyglare last time and was eased when beaten, but this bigger field should suit and prevent things from becoming too tactical. I think she's overpriced on the basis of a run which was too bad to be true, and the stable has shown they can ready one to bounce back quickly, as with City Of Troy, etc.

I like both the top rated horses in here (Carrytheone should be suited by the amount of pace on offer at a course he's gone well at previously) but preference is definitely for Popmaster. He was 2nd in this race last year under a 6lbs penalty, effectively running from 106. Edged up the weights since and ran well when 7th here over C&D in the Victoria Cup from a mark of 109 (5lbs claimer) and has edged back down since, running here from 104. The fancied horses are drawn low but there looks to be pace high, and Popmaster shouldn't be far away from that himself. Soft ground won't be a problem having won a Listed contest in similar conditions last autumn (prior to his run in this) and he simply looks well handicapped at a course he enjoys.

Francisco's Piece has been highly tried this year and drops into calmer waters in conditions which should suit. Bombed out in a pair of Group races earlier in the summer but bounced back last time when neck 2nd in a soft ground nursery at Haydock. Earlier in the summer, he won a Listed contest on very soft ground at Chantilly, and with a low draw expected to be on the right side (lots of pace low too), he can hit the frame on soft ground again in Listed company.

I think there would have to be some proper Group horses in here to give weight to the 3yo filly Relief Rally who showed her quality when finishing 2nd in a Group 3 off a break last time. She won't mind conditions and is still hugely unexposed at this 5f trip - in truth I'm surprised she's goes here instead of the Abbaye but I suppose this is an easy opportunity for some black type and after winning the Lowther on good to firm as a juvenile she can still travel in search of some bigger prizes abroad this autumn. Should simply have too much class for this field down at Listed level.

Happy to forgive his Ayr run and a return to Ascot is clearly a positive, having run so well here in the past. A winner of this race from a mark of 102 last year, he ran well when finishing 3rd over C&D two starts back from 96 when not suited by the lack of pace on offer. Looks to be more forward going types here today and he's been dropped another 2lbs down to a mark of 94, 8lbs below his last winning mark. Soft ground will suit fine and he can add to his already enviable Ascot C&D record.

Bialystok

@67.00

Lose

-50

Not an exact science but you have to think Bialystok is well treated based on his hurdles form which saw him finish a close 2nd in the Scottish Champion Hurdle which helped him to achieve a OR of 140. His flat mark is moderate in comparison, being just 90, but he hugely unexposed in that sphere at this trip. A winner three times on the flat in France before joining Willie Mullins, he's had just three starts on the level since as a hurdling career has taken over. His best finish was a never nearer 5th at the Galway Festival two starts back when he had Sixanahalf in behind (8lbs better off with that fancied rival here) and today marks the first attempt beyond 13f. Happy to draw a line through last time given the winner had them all stretched out a long way from home. Stamina by no means assured (hence the price) but he looked to be staying on well at Galway over 12f and I'm happy to take a chance.

Dutch Decoy may be a 7yo now but he has a strong record in this race, finishing 7th in 2022 (90) and 6th from a mark of 88 last year. Has two further runs over C&D which have seen him finish 5th in May 2023 (88) and 2nd back in May this year from a mark of 92. Form a bit and out since but a few placed efforts, but most recently last of 6 which has seen him drop down to a mark of 89 leaving him well weighted for a big run. Stall 20 a positive as last 8 have been from the high stalls and pace looks to come from stall 26. Possibly at his best on quicker ground but did finish 3rd in the Goodwood Golden Mile from a mark of 93 last summer so not a complete no hope and with his course record at this specialist 9f trip he's too well weighted to ignore.

John Gosden has won this 5 times, including three lightly raced 3yos. He looks to have another prime candidate this year in Roi De France who is unraced on ground softer than good to firm but being by Sea The Stars is taken to cope with the softer conditions today. There isn't loads of pace on offer but Norwalk Havoc will go forward from stall 26 which bodes well for his draw in stall 25, as does the fact that the last 8 winners have all been drawn in stall 21 or higher. Todays mark of 95 leaves him officially 1lb well in and he looks well treated on the basis of his novice win two starts back which has seen subsequent winners from 3rd and 4th, now rated 95 and 90 respectively. Had excuses when beaten into 2nd on handicap debut last time, not finding a clear run and doing his best work at the end. Could be the group horse in a handicap.

Blind Beggar will love the heavy ground having beaten Silkie Wilkie by a head from a mark of 82 at Bath in similar conditions (in receipt of 8lbs). That rival comes in here in good fettle but I fancy Blind Beggar can uphold the form in favourable conditions and from a mark just 2lbs higher. Ran well off a break last time to finish 6th and that should bring him on nicely for this. Never Dark will go forward from stall 6 and Blind Beggar should also be prominent from stall 9 in conditions where it could pay not to find yourself too far back. 5f is his trip and he finished 0.5L on his only visit to Haydock which came over C&D. Just looks overpriced to me.

Ryan Moore keeps with Ecstatic despite the market thinking he was on the wrong one last time (proved to be correct) and it doesn't give loads of confidence to Bubbling's chances that he's not jocked up on her. They could all be playing for 2nd place though as Formal has been hugely impressive both starts, being a rare debut winner for her trainer (form looks pretty good) and then winning comfortably on soft ground under a penalty last time. The 3rd that day runs at Haydock (14:15) and might make a nice across the card double.

Really good on stable debut in a Group 2 at York last time when friendless in the market but coming into the contest with really strong form in the Middle East. Showed that had substance when finishing a short head behind Vauban who then finished 2nd in the Group 1 Irish Leger next time. Al Nayyir drops into Lister company here and should have too much class for this field. Won't mind any rain having won on soft ground in France and I see no reason why Night Sparkle should reverse the placings when 4L back at York, especially considering the selection can come on plenty for that effort.

Commanche Falls is now a 7yo but has generally been holding his form well at a higher grade, having run just once outside of pattern company this season. Finished 1.25L 3rd on his only handicap start this season from the same mark as today (107) and has run well here in the past, with form figures of 4-1-7-2 over C&D with the last two efforts in this race from marks of 105 and 109 respectively. Pace looks to come from stalls 9 and 20 so his central draw (stall 12) gives him options although worth noting the low numbers had the edge in the Bronze Cup on Friday. Top rated has won this twice in the last 8 runnings and I think his mark of 107 shouldn't see him out of the frame despite conceding weight all round.

I fancy Commanche Falls for the main event but the horse that finished a short head behind him at York (albeit in receipt of 17lbs) runs in the Silver Cup - Two Tribes. Except for a couple of blowouts at Ascot his form reads really well, such as his reappearance 2nd behind James Gate (now a Group horse) and then three placed efforts (4-5-4) in big field competitive handicaps during the summer. Sent off fav at Ascot last time when last of 7 but a mark of 90 looks far from his ceiling and with Paws For Though going forward from stall 1 his low draw in 3 looks perfect, particularly with the result of the Bronze Cup favouring the low numbers on Friday.

Her most decisive performance came over C&D when bolting up in the Super Sprint on good to soft. She's a Group 2 winner as a juvenile and hasn't shown her best stepped up in trip but signs of retaining her ability when 2nd to Elite Status last time back down to 6f. He's a G3 winner since and she also had Adaay In Devon 1.5L behind that day - the drop back to 5f looks a positive for this speedball and with so much pace in the race the set up looks perfect for the Haggas filly.

Drops back to 5f for the first time but I suspect should be better than his reappearance effort in the Sprint Cup (finished 6th) and is technically a C&D winner having won his maiden here on debut. A big field here and he's drawn widest of all in stall 18 but given the likely front running tactics he can grab the stand side rail to good effect. Simply put I think he's a proper Group 1 animal and having run well here in the past (beat Porta Fortuna by 4L over 6f as a juvenile) he can come on from his reappearance and any improvement should see him in the frame.

Caught U Looking wasn't far behind Purple Lily in the Irish Oaks when the pair looked non stayers and dropped back in trip to finish 3rd in the Royal Whip last time. The winner that day is a Group 1 horse whilst the 2nd comfortably won a Group 3 here yesterday, with form lines tying in closely with the St Leger winner. I think 10f is her trip and the cheekpieces go on which could straighten her up under Oisin Murphy. She has some very strong back form over a trip too far and back against the fillies I think she can outrun her odds.

Softer ground might be ideal but given his campaign I suspect this drop back into handicap company here has been the plan and with Apricot Ice likely to go forward from stall 10 his low ish draw (stall 6) should be fine - there isn't much pace on offer all told but he shouldn't be found too far back.

Looks a bit of a muddling race, complicated by the fact almost half the field come from Coolmore, but the stand out piece of form has to be when Gorsvenor Square split Tower Of London and subsequent Group 2 winner Vauban in open company. It's possible this will become tactical but if each of the O'Brien runners is allowed to run on their merits I think the outsider of the three holds the strongest claims and having won a Group 3 as a juvenile on heavy ground he shouldn't have any issues with the softer conditions.

I think Luxembourg could be the best of the Aidan group in these conditions and at this trip, and clearly retains ability as a 5yo having won the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom over 1m4f this summer. Don't imagine that he'll be pestered for the lead and in first time cheekpieces could be hard to peg back.

Porta Fortuna is a class above all of these except maybe for Irish 1000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel but that rival makes her reappearance after over 100 days off the track following an injury.

Vintage Clarets was 5th in this race last year from a mark of 92 and returns this year 2lbs lower despite winning twice since.

The two front runners are drawn in stalls 18 and 19 which should make him well positioned in 20 and could give the high side the edge. Race conditions, ground and handicap make all give him a chance of improving on last years finish.

I was all set to tip up Magnum Force who could well prove to be the best of these in time but he's one of a few which are unproven on slower ground and I think it may instead pay to side with the Archie Watson trained Aesterius who arguably produced his best performance so far when meeting good to soft for the first time. He made all that day when comfortably winning a Group 3 and I thought stuck to the task well when heading by Big Mojo two starts back. Got a bit upset pre race that day and I think if a little more streetwise here he can turn the tables on that rival in conditions which should suit. Few forward going types drawn low but he may get his own way from stall 11 over a C&D that doesn't have a historical bias.

I think Anshoda is being underestimated here, possibly due to her odds when winning the Group 3 Presteige Stakes last time. That was on soft ground but she won her maiden on good to firm (massively green that day) and then came from miles back to finish 2nd on good ground at Listed level two starts back. That Listed winner is highly thought of (off with injury since) and Anshoda seems to be improving with each effort. It wouldn't take much improvement, if any, to see her win this being the only Group winner in the field who should be suited by the step up to 8f given how well she's been finishing off her races.

Azure Blue is a former Group 2 winner over C&D when beating Highfield Princess by 0.5L in May last year. Hasn't shown that level of form since but was a Listed winner at Ayr over 5f two starts back and shouldn't mind the good ground here. Stall 1 means she should get a good tow into the race from Quinault in stall 2 and she looks overpriced in this field.

I was all over Bucanero Fuerte for the Commonwealth Cup after his juvenile form (beat Porta Fortuna 4L in a Group 1) and his reappearance win over subsequent Group 3 winner Givemthebeatboys when looking to come on for the run. Missed most of the summer after skipping Ascot with travel sickness and has been targeted at this from some way out. Likely to go forward from low draw (stall 3) and although most of the pace looks high he could steal a march on the field and show himself to be a proper Group 1 sprinter in conditions which will suit.

I tipped Designer on reappearance last time and will probably have a saver as he looks well handicapped on best form. That being said, Shagraan is in flying form having won at Goodwood two starts back and the set up of the race should suit with loads of pace in the low stalls nearby. Goodwood win same from 93 and he followed up by finishing 5th at York last time when unsuited by being too far back. That came from the same mark as today (98) and I think can be upgraded. Drying ground will suit and he finished 5th in the big field Palace of Holyroodhouse at the Royal meeting so clearly happy enough here.

Epic Poet was all the rage when finishing 4th in the Ebor last time and looks to be well supported again here but he finished behind the Ian Williams trained Oneforthegutter that day. The Ebor has so often held the key to this contest, with Post Impressionist winning last time amd Euchen Glen in 2020 also coming via that York contest, and Ian Williams has won this twice in the last 6 renewals. Ryan Moore takes the ride for an in form yard (21% last 14 days) and a mark of 91 looks within reach as he's posted plenty of good efforts at this trip this season from marks of 89 & 90.

A big chance is taken on the Mark Prescott trained Miss El Fundi who finished 5th in the 7f Chesham at Royal Ascot in behind some smart types, before her most impressive performance when winning a Novice over C&D by 3.25L. Seemed to blow up last time at Newbury and the cheekpieces go on for the first time (stable have a 26 from 117 record in first time pieces) - if having any impact she can outrun her odds at a track she's won well at previously, albeit this is hugely up in grade into Group 3 company. Yard won this in 2010.

This race is typically less of a lottery with many of the 3yos having shown their cards at York last time. Master Builder brings the strongest form into this having finished 3rd last time in the Melrose - a traditionally strong 3yo handicap. 3lbs higher here but a mark of 88 wouldn't look to be his ceiling and on just his 2nd try at this extended trip he can still prove to be well handicapped for the in-form Menuisier stable (23% last 14 days).
