Nightime Dancer - Newbury - 1:25 race odds
Classic - Newbury - 3:00 race odds
Low Court - Newbury - 4:10 race odds
1.50 - Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Group 3) - Nightime Dancer
Nightime Dancer is one who I thought ran really well last time over the trip at Newmarket. He just ran into one on the day in the shape of Scandinavia. His form has been boosted by that last race though, for sure.
The field is a strong one, there's no doubt about that. But the form that he's bringing forward from his last race should find him very, very competitive.
3.00 - TPT Fire Handicap - Classic
Classic is another one who ran into one [Two Tribes] last time out at Ascot over what was a stiff seven furlongs. But we're delighted with how he's performed this season. On a flat track, it's still questionable whether he'll find tis a challenge or not, but at the same time he's a deserving favourite. Especially after running into the Steward's Cup winner last time.
He's always run really well at Newbury, to be fair. He's been unlucky on the odd occasion here, so the track isn't going to bother him by any means. The ground isn't going to be an issue either. It's whether or not he has enough speed for a flat seven. But, look, he's done no wrong and he's been improving. He also runs off the same mark as last time, which is obviously a bonus.

4.10 - Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) - Low Court
Low Court is a very nice type and is a son of Blue Point. He's a horse that's bene getting better with time, and he's now in a position where he's ready to start. We'll be hoping he can run a very nice debut here.
