QUINN CAN CASH IN
PONTEFRACT should see some cracking stuff today where Shaheen (2.10) can land the nursery for trainer John Quinn.
The Society Rock colt has steadily improved in maidens and got off the mark in style when beating the useful Gangland at Redcar last time.
There’s lots more to come from this promising type who can do plenty of damage in handicaps for his shrewd handler.
In-form Roger Varian can strike with DAWN OF HOPE (3.10) in the Listed Pipalong Stakes.
The Mastercraftsman filly has run with credit in Group 2 company at both Sandown and Ascot recently and will take all the beating dropped in class.
In addition, AVON BREEZE (3.40) should go close for Richard Whitaker in the King Richard III Handicap.
The filly cosily landed a competitive event over course and distance just eight days ago and is set to follow up under useful 5lb claimer Lewis Edmunds.
CHING CHING LOR (4.40) can complete a hat-trick for Declan Carroll. The three-yearold scored in style at Ayr and Wolverhampton and an 8lb hike won’t stop him at present.
NARJES (4.25) rates selection at Wolverhampton. James Fanshawe’s filly just failed to land a handicap at the Dunstall venue in May and looks a sure-fire improver for the HQ trainer.
● Enable is right on course for the Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Saturday.
John Gosden said the Investec Oaks heroine has fully recovered from her Epsom exertions and was well primed for the Irish equivalent where she will be ridden by Frankie Dettori.
The Newmarket handler could also be planning to run Coronet who earned her place in the Classic by landing the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot.
Caravaggio will put his proud unbeaten record on the line in Saturday’s July Cup at Newmarket. Aidan O’Brien’s sprinter easily added the Commonwealth Cup to his CV at Royal Ascot and is a red-hot favourite to follow up in the Group 1.
Commonwealth third Harry Angel will be looking to exact his revenge for Clive Cox but the biggest danger is probably James Fanshawe’s Diamond Jubilee hero The Tin Man.
Speed stars Limato and Tasleet also stand their ground but Magical Memory was ruled out by Charlie Hills.
