TURN TO VITAL COG
COGITATE (1.50) is the wisest choice in the ever-competitive Bet365 Esher Cup at Sandown.
Charlie Hills’ colt was unlucky to meet the talented Night Raider on his return at Southwell.
The three-year-old is proven on Turf so he can gain compensation under Tom Marquand.
The bet365 Handicap is very trappy but I’m backing Owen Burrows’ MIAHARRIS (1.15).
The speedster ended 2023 with a respectable fifth in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket.
The three-year-old retains plenty of ability so she can resume winning ways dropped in class.
FLYING HONOURS (2.25) can soar for Charlie Appleby in the Gordon Richards Stakes.
A classy juvenile, the threeyear-old was well-beaten when last seen in the Dante at York. The colt has been given plenty of time to recover so he can bounce back with a vengeance.
The Godolphin Man can also bag the bet365 Classic Trial with ARABIAN CROWN (3.35). The colt oozed class again when hammering
Gasper De Lemos in the Zetland at Newmarket.
The three-year-old will be even better this year so he can book his Epsom Derby place.
CHARYN (3.00) can claim another tricky renewal of the bet365 Mile for Roger Varian.
The four-year-old built on some smart efforts when slamming Astral Beau at Doncaster.
The grey looks open to plenty more progress so he can deny some talented opponents.
LIVELY CITIZEN (1.30) can run riot in the AK Bets Hurdle on Day 3 of the Perth Festival.
Dai Jeffreys’ horse ran another blinder when fourth to El Jefe in a hot Aintree handicap. The nine-year-old goes pretty well here so he can shrug-off a welter-burden down in grade.
PRINCE DES FICHAUX (2.05) can rule for Ewan Whillans in the Highland National.
The chaser needed the run when fourth to Up Helly Aa King on his return at Kelso.
The gelding should be primed so he can land this valuable prize back over 3m 6f.
