ITV’s coverage from Newmarket on Saturday gets underway with a tricky-looking handicap. Two Tribes typically goes well fresh, and Silvestre De Sousa is an eye-catching booking for the Richard Spencer team.
The four-year-old ended last season with a respectable sixth in the Silver Cup Handicap, and looks well-handicapped for a big run on a return to a better surface.
Has previous Newmarket form in the book after finishing second in this race last year on his return. Should go close off a reduced mark.
Karl Burke has been in excellent form so far this season, and Bright Thunder could give him a big Saturday winner at Goodwood.
The four-year-old filly has won twice from six starts on the turf, and was last seen finishing a close fifth behind One Look in the Park Express Stakes.
Has winning form over a mile on good ground after impressively landing the listed Prix de Bagatelle in June. Should out-run her odds, and has each-way claims at the least.
William Haggas is operating at a 23% strike rate over the last two weeks, meaning that his runners deserve huge respect at present.
Approval will be reunited with Tom Marquand on Saturday, with the combination previously teaming up for a narrow success over a mile and two at Goodwood in August.
Approval remains very lightly raced for a four-year-old, but he has won twice from four starts on the turf.
Plenty have leading chances in the Thirsk Hunt Cup, but an each-way chance could be taken on the Kevin Ryan-trained Hi Royal.
The five-year-old has been off the track since September, but first-time out is typically the time to catch him.
On his reappearance last season, he finished a length behind the impressive Ottoman Fleet over a mile and one in the Earl of Sefton Stakes.
The selection can be frustrating, but if he brings his A-game, he has the graded form to be incredibly well-handicapped.
Washington Heights could be worth a chance in the competitive Palace House Stakes over five furlongs on ITV.
The five-year-old for Kevin Ryan will have Tom Eaves aboard, just as he did when narrowly touched off by Rogue Lightning in Group Three company last time out.
He has winning experience at Newmarket and clearly excels at the course with form figures of 1-4-2-2.
The first Classic of the season is due off at 15:35, and the progressive Scorthy Champ could peak at the right time for the Joseph O’Brien team.
Both siblings were smart over a mile, and the selection finally looked to piece everything together on his final start last season when beating subsequent Breeders’ Cup winner Henri Matisse in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes.
Still need to improve to overcome those at the top of the betting, but O’Brien, as well as jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, have been among the winners recently, and connections are bullish.
