Fabre is in the territory to bag a classic

Tips: Top French trainer doesn’t bring no-hopers over the channel, so Territories should be worth a look

Andre Fabre can land his first Qipco 2000 Guineas in 20 years as TERRITORIES looks the pick in the Newmarket Classic.

Territories has a bit to find with some of his rivals but he will be fit for action having won his trial in the Prix de Fontainebleau at Longchamp.

The consistent KOOL KOMPANY is expected to be thereabouts and is worth an each-way saver.

TELESCOPE is the clear choice in the Dunaden At Overbury Jockey Club Stakes with upwards of 7lb in hand on the field.

PEARL SECRET was not beaten far in the Pearl Bloodstock Palace House Stakes last year and while his campaign petered out a little subsequently, he is still worthy of respect as he tackles the sprint heat once more.

BEST OF TIMES won two of three juvenile outings and can pick up where he left off in the Harbour Watch Newmarket Stakes.

From the family of the great filly Dahlia, the Dubawi colt holds a clutch of big-race entries and victory in this Listed heat could mark him as a Classic contender.

At Hamilton tomorrow Linda Perratt is represented in the Totepoolliveinfo.com Buttonhook Handicap by STENTORIAN, a winner over hurdles in December at Ludlow, who returns to the flat off a decent mark. SELECTIONS
