VEGAS CAN TEAR STRIP OFF RIVALS

WILLIE MULLINS and Ryan Moore team up in the Betfred Cesarewitch with LAGOSTOVEGAS (3.40) and look a winning combo at Newmarket.

The recent Killarney and Listowel handicap hurdle scorer is well treated racing off 91 as he is rated 145 over timber.

He is nicely drawn in stall five of 34 and on his latest spin on the Flat he was third of 20 under an amateur rider when rated 89 at Galway in July.

He has improved plenty since.

It is more than 30 years since Sir Michael Stoute captured the Dewhurst Stakes.

It was in 1986 to be exact when Ajdal obliged, so Stoute is way overdue another success.

EXPERT EYE (3.00) looked something special when bolting up at Glorious Goodwood in August, so he is a confident choice.

Over at York in the Listed Rockingham Stakes, the highly progressive SHABAABY (2.40) can complete his hat-trick after his smart wins at Newmarket and Doncaster.

Owen Burrows’ juvenile recorded a swift time when hacking up by seven lengths at Town Moor on his last spin and will be very hard to beat.

Richard Fahey’s MR LUPTON (3.15) will carry my each-way wonga in the 20-runner Coral Sprint Trophy as he ran a corker when fourth of 17 off a perch of 108 at Haydock in September.

The course and distance victor races off a mark of 105 this time and has the capable 7lb claimer Seb Woods on his back to help matters.
