In the 2.30 at Chepstow Ballora is stepped up from 6 furlongs to a mile. She should come on for her debut run at Ascot and has an each way chance.
Franchoek was a beaten favourite when slightly hampered behind Alleviate, who won again next time out, on his last run. That was over 14 furlongs and he is back up to 2 miles tomorrow in the 3.40 and with Ryan Moore in the saddle looks worth considering.
The 4.35 at Kempton looks to be between Al Tharib and Portal. Both come from in form stables and there is very little to choose between them on form. I would give a narrow edge to Portal who has had to run on unsuitable ground this season.
There are 2 horses from our list to follow in the 5.25. Coup D'Etat won a couple of run ago but is unreliable and Grey Boy may be a better bet. He finished 3rd in the greys only race at Newmarket last week and is well handicapped on his best form.
Up at Newcastle in the 2.10 Sonny Sam looks an interesting newcomer and one to keep an eye on for the future.
See you tomorrow.
