Selections

1:20

Download The BetVictor App Handicap (Class 4) (1m2f)

FRANTANCK (3) was disappointing when last of four on handicap debut at Sandown as well-fancied that day. Given some of his novice form could be worth another chance. Bottom-weight DEFINITE (8) came up against a progressive handicap performer when runner-up at Nottingham and is sure to be involved adopting first-time tongue-tie. Another to note upped in trip is ROGUE ROCKET (2) having gone well when fourth at Sandown. GENERAL LEE (1) is not to be ruled out.


1:55

Denford Stakes (Listed) (7f)

VICTORY DANCE (2) sets a tall standard on ratings and is expected to take this following a near-miss in the G2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket (July). 

BLUELIGHT BAY (1) certainly wasn’t disgraced when fifth in the G2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood and could prove the main danger upped in trip. 

The unbeaten CANDLEOF HOPE (3) deserves her chance raised in standard while FERRARI QUEEN (5) impressed winning a novice stakes event at Kempton.


2:40

BetVictor Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Group 3) (1m5½f)

The sole three-year-old in the line-up ZECHARIAH (5) comes out best at the weights. Disappointed when fourth in the G3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket (July) however can bounce back with an unexposed profile over staying trips. AWAY HE GOES (1) looks the main danger on figures and must be respected back down in grade having finished fifth in the G1 Goodwood Cup last start. UNIVERSAL ORDER (3) was tailed off among Listed company at Newmarket (July) recently though certainly holds form to be involved while OUTBOX (2) could try to dictate matters from the front.

Get A Run For Your Money At BetVictor Handicap (7f)

DANCE FEVER (3) didn’t have the clearest of passages when third in a big-field handicap tackling this trip at Goodwood. Rates a solid option off a lower weight. Both GISBURN (6) career successes have been here and he would certainly hold strong claims if managing to back up his good effort finishing runner-up at Goodwood. DOCUMENTING (2) ran his usual solid race when fifth in a premier handicap at Ascot. Holds ability to win off this mark. FIVETHOUSANDTOONE (5) rounds out the shortlist in a tricky handicap event.


3:35

BetVictor Hungerford Stakes (Group 2) (7f)

A competitive feature where narrow preference goes the way of the William Haggas three-year-old TIBER FLOW (9) following a creditable eighth in the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Stepping up in distance looks a positive move and he can capitalise back down in grade receiving weight from his elders. POGO (3) went well when third in the G2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood. Would be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters out front. The drop back to G2 company is obviously a huge positive for CHINDIT (1) who was far from disgraced finishing sixth in the G1 Sussex Stakes. DOUBLE OR BUBBLE (5) and HAPPY ROMANCE (6) are worth including with the latter just preferred of that duo.
