I expect Derby winner Workforce to prove too good for Harbinger in the King George at Ascot tomorrow, although the form of the stable is a slight concern.
The key to the 3.15 may lie with a race run over a furlong shorter at the same track earlier this month. The race was won by Side Glance with Haatheq in 3rd and they are handicapped to finish close again. These would be my main fancies for the race.
In the Heritage Handicap at 3.50 Suruor has a lot going for him and should be in the shake up. The lightly raced Poet’s Place, second behind Jonny Mudball on his last start is the other one I like in this.
Walvis Bay had something of a troubled passage at Haydock a week ago and comes into the 3.30 at Newcastle with an each way chance.
Primaeval looks a progressive sort and can with the 4.15 while Roker Park does well at this time of the year and has slipped down the weights enough to make him interesting in the 4.40.
San Cassiano showed much improved form to win for his new trainer Ruth Carr at Ripon and can follow up in the Newmarket 2.45.
At Salisbury there have been good reports about Codemaster who runs in the 7.05.
Monitor Closely has been off the course for a while but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make a winning return in the 3.05 at York. The 3.40 is a tight handicap and a case could be made for Hawkeyethenoo, Hitchens, Tiddliwinks, Baldemar and Star Rover. Hawkeyethenoo has been running well and he gets the nod.
Hawk Mountain is well enough handicapped if he can recapture his best form in the 4.45. My other selection at York is Antoniola each way in the 5.20.
Selections for Sunday; Ascot3.25 Dungannon; 4.35 High Office. Carlisle 3.35 Oneofapear. Pontefarct 3.50 Zacinto.
