Newbury
1.50 Astonishing should go well here for a trainer who excels with this type of horse.
2.20 Al Thakhira won his first 2 starts before disappointing on firm ground at Santa Anita. Cape Factor won 4 out of 5 last season and is suited by good or softer. Dutch Courage followed up her win in a Pontefract maiden by taking a nursery at Newmarket. Al Thakhira looks the percentage call with Dutch Courage the danger.
2.55 Berkshire won the Chesham and the Royal Lodge last season while Kingman was very impressive when winning both his starts as a juvenile. Lat Hawill was a runaway winner of a Newcastle maiden last October and comes into the could be anything category. Night of Thunder is 2 from 2 with both successes coming on soft ground and the stable has a good record in this race. Kingman is the selection with Night of Thunder the main danger.
Thirsk
4.35 Stomachion is the selection.
