Prescott looks in Rude good health

- MARK PEARSON

THERE is an estimated

£250,000 in today’s Scoop6 with the action finishing well before England’s World Cup quarter-final and all races are live on ITV.

We start at Sandown with a sprint and Judicial can build on success at Beverley last time to take this listed prize.

A staying handicap at Haydock is next with Rude Awakening a confident choice after bolting-up at Doncaster last Friday.

Trainer Sir Mark Prescott has his Heath House string in rude health.

Back to Esher where handicap debutant Tigre Du Terre can make up for a near miss in France last time. He ran in some topclass races as a juvenile including runner-up to the

2,000 Guineas second and gets weight off all bar one rival.

At Sandown, Preening can take the rise up in class in her stride and score under William Buick.

Back to Merseyside and Crowned Eagle can give Marco Botti a third Old Newton Cup in five years.

The trainer has compared this ex-John Gosden inmate favourably to his two previous winners and our selection was not disgraced when finishing sixth at Ascot a fortnight ago.

The Group One Eclipse Stakes is our finale and Forest Ranger looks worth backing to upset the classic generation.

He has taken a while to fill out and is now only just realising his potential having won well at Newmarket and Chester already this season.
