Six turf meetings today with all except Lingfield (Soft) reporting Good to Soft ground.
We are going to look at the premier races of the day from the cards at Ascot and York.
3.35 Ascot 1m4f King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored By Qipco) (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+)
My initial thoughts were that Enable was too short in the market, and I was looking to oppose her.
After thorough analysis I have come to the conclusion she deserves her position at the head of the market. However I can’t get her as short as the 11/8 currently on general offer.
Both her wins in the Epsom and Irish Oaks were very impressive, and there could well be further improvement to come. Ground conditions aren’t expected to be an issue.
Highland Reel, Jack Hobbs and Ulysses have all achieved a similar level of form when at their best.
My tissue:
Enable 13/8
Highland Reel 9/2
Jack Hobbs 9/2
Ulysses 9/2
20/1 bar
3.15 York 1m2½f Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+)
Algometer has run consistently in his two Group races this season.
Success Days is a consistent front runner who is at his best on soft ground and would be my preference.
Hathal is a 5yo who is still unexposed and could improve for stepping up to 1m2f.
My original favourite Autocratic is a late non-runner and my revised market is:
Success Days 9/4
Hathal 7/2
Algometer 7/2
8/1 bar
