2.45 - Durcan Bloodstock Pat Smullen Memorial EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race) - Inis Mor

Inis Mor isn't one I know an awful lot about, but I always enjoy riding for David Menuisier - his horses are always in great form. His does his due diligence with them and this one in particular is only just getting started. It's a seven-furlong race with a pretty small field, and only two of the runners have actually run before. Kaori finished fourth in a Newbury maiden which was actually won impressively by Kieran Shoemark on that day, so I'd say he's probably going to be the one to beat here. Inis Mor is obviously ready to start now, so I'm hoping we can kick things off with a positive result.

3.20 - British Stallion Studs EBF Chalice Stakes (Listed Race) (GBBPlus Race) (Fillies & Mares) - Crystal Flyer

Crystal Flyer is one I know a lot more about. She's been unlucky with the weather being how it's been of late. She hasn't managed to get herself on soft ground where I'd argue her best form has been. She won nicely for me at Southwell on a very hot day where the track rode slow, but since then she's struggled on firm ground. Now, there has been rain about, and it looks as thought the ground at Newmarket will be good. It's not ideal that it's not soft, but at the same time, good is better than good to firm, so I'd expect her to run a nice race here.

4.00 - Turners Handicap - Best Rate

Best Rate is a tricky horse, but he's been very consistent nonetheless. I got denied by a short head up at York where he ran fantastically over seven furlongs. He's versatile in terms of trip, so anything between seven furlongs and a mile seems to suit him just fine. He likes a nice big field, where you can kind of nurse him to the line. This isn't a huge field, but there's a nice amount of runners in it. It's a competitive race and he's due to get his head in front in one of these, in my opinion.

4.35 - Turners Park Group Ltd Handicap (GBBPlus Race) - Odin Legacy

Odin Legacy struggled when carrying top weight in a small and competitive field at Newbury, off the back of two wins. He ran incredibly well in defeat, and he's stepping up in grade here, allowing him to carry less weight, which will definitely help his chances here.

5.05 - Turners Of Soham Handicap - Money Pockets

I finish on Saturday with Money Pockets for Martin Dunne, who comes here off the back of just getting denied in a five-furlong race at Doncaster, which was on good ground. He seems very competitive and in the right place at the moment. I don't think he'll be too far away here.
