I’M ON THE RIGHT YAK
LA YAKEL (4.10) can claim a hot renewal of the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket for William Haggas.
The gelding improved again when cosily defeating Chairman in a warm Ascot handicap and looks potentially Group-class so can defy a 5lb hike under Tom Marquand.
The dynamic duo should add the Challenge Stakes to their tally with SACRED (3.00). The four-year-old bounced back when brushing aside Saleymm in Listed company at Newbury.
PRINCE OF PILLO (1.50) can give Keith Dalgleish a high-profile winner in the Cornwallis Stakes.
The colt can build on his power-packed defeat of the talented Bolt Action in the Rosebery at Ayr.
SMALL OASIS (2.25) has the edge for Michael Grassick in the Oh So Sharp Stakes. The juvenile oozed class when hammering Ardad’s Great over a stiff six furlongs at the Curragh. The filly wasn’t exactly stopping at the business end so she can deny a strong field over seven.
COMMISSIONING (3.35) is difficult to oppose in the Fillies’ Mile. The juvenile rates a surefire improver for the Gosdens after crushing Electric Eyes in the Rockfel Stakes here.
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND (2.40) can reign for thriving John Quinn in the Autumn Mile at York. The gelding still lurks on an attractive mark after his excellent second to
Atrium at Doncaster.
STREETS OF GOLD (3.15) can give Eve Johnson Houghton another big payday in the EBF Final. The colt can stretch his unbeaten record to five after cosily dismissing
Tostado at the Curragh.
Team Haggas can also get on the scoresheet here with
NATHANAEL GREENE (3.50).
The gelding is nicely unexposed as a stayer after comfortably denying Giavellotto at Haydock.
BROKEN QUEST (1.35) can bag a trappy veterans’ chase at Chepstow for David Dennis.
Team Skelton’s QUID PRO QUO (2.10) should make the bookies pay in the Persian War Hurdle.
The gelding looked ready for the step up to Grade 2 level when routing Vis A Vis at Newton Abbot.
