Friday, Ayr, post time: 14:33, THE BRITISH EBF STALLIONS HARRY ROSEBERY STAKES-Listed, £35,500, 2yo, 5fT Field: Boston Dan (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Chairmanfourtimes (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Rikki Tiki Tavi (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}), Ipanema Queen (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}), Arduis Invicta (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Daneh Of Dandy (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Hanney Girl (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}), Lebron Power (GB) (Starman {GB}), Our Cody (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Pearl Fortune (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Shine On Me (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Spicy Marg (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Temple Of Athena (GB) (Magna Grecia {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Never a factor in the Nunthorpe, Spicy Marg still holds considerable street cred having previously upstaged King Power's flying filly Revival Power in Goodwood's Alice Keppel. Third in the G3 Prix d'Arenberg last time, Shine On Me is one of the highest-rated maidens in training and surely warrants one of these. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newbury, post time: 15:15, THE DUBAI DUTY FREE MILL REEF STAKES (IN HONOUR OF GEOFF LEWIS)-G2, £130,000, 2yo, 6fT Field: Flying Comet (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Gold Queen Kindly (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Into The Sky (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Rock On Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Rydale Frosty (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Sands Of Spain (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}), Watcha Snoop (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}), Words Of Truth (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Newbury has a tendency, for whatever reason, to play host to wide-margin winners who don't always back up their performances elsewhere so all eyes are on Into The Sky who encouraged investment from Doreen Tabor following his 7 1/2-length debut in Berkshire. Godolphin's Words Of Truth comes off professional wins at Ascot and Newmarket, with Watcha Snoop in second on the latter occasion before his own breakthrough at Ascot. Rock On Thunder is the form pick, having run second in the Gimcrack and his trainer rates him highly so this could be a simple case of experience and class telling. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newbury, post time: 13:30, THE DUBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WORLD TROPHY-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, 5f 34yT Field: Rumstar (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Cover Up (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), Grand Grey (Ire) (Havana Grey {GB}), Kerdos (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}), Montassib (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), Rage Of Bamby (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Shagraan (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Balmoral Lady (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Habooba (Nyquist), First Instinct (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Queen All Star (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). TDN Analysis: This sees the belated seasonal bow of last year's Haydock Sprint Cup hero Montassib and everything points to this being a sharpener ahead of bigger autumn targets. Five-furlong specialist Rumstar bids for a third Group 3 of the campaign and while he has a penalty for his recent exploits, he defied that at Sandown in July and this is distinctly winnable. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Ayr, post time: 15:00, THE LADBROKES 'GET REWARDED WITH LADBUCKS' FIRTH OF CLYDE STAKES-G3, £65,000, 2yo, f, 6fT Field: Anaisa (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Argentine Tango (GB) (Mattmu {GB}), Catching The Moon (Ire) (No Nay Never), Come On Eibhlin (Ire) (Space Blues {Ire}), Coming Attraction (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Dandana (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}), Figjam (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), India Love (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Isle Of Fernandez (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Lam Yai (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Lightning Polka (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Mood Queen (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Rogue Attraction (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Solana Rose (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Wateen (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}). TDN Analysis: The Royal runner Lightning Polka was impressive on debut at Haydock and is bred to be Group-class, as is Coming Attraction whose dam Clem Fandango had her finest hour at this track. The Henrys and the Richard Fahey stable combine with another potential luminary in Catching The Moon, who was impressive at Beverley last month, while the established blue-collar Pattern-race performer Argentine Tango and Lowther fourth Dandana bring the smart summer form into the picture. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Gowran, post time: 14:52, DENNY CORDELL LAVARACK & LANWADES STUD FILLIES'STAKES-G3, €36,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 9f 100yT Field: Fleur De Chine (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Higher Leaves (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Lady Lunette (Ire) (Buratino {Ire}), Lemsairbat (Fr) (Bated Breath {GB}), Purple Lily (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), Thalara (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Zora (Fr) (Toronado {Ire}), And So To Bed (IRe) (Kodiac {GB}), Deressa (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}), Easy Mover (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Faiyum (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Offshore Bay (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), She's A Nation (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Sweet Chariot (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). TDN Analysis: Juddmonte's unexposed Faiyum looks an even brighter prospect after her G3 Jannah Rose Stakes conqueror Barnavara ran away with the Blandford on Sunday and this looks a nice opportunity. The Listed Ruby Stakes winner Thalara and last year's Irish Oaks third Purple Lily come into this with contrasting profiles this term, with a visor employed on the latter. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Chantilly, France, post time: 13:58, PRIX ECLIPSE – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-G3, €73,200, 2yo, 6fT Field: Ulymine (Fr) (Penny's Picnic {Ire}), Samangan (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Graft (Ire) (U S Navy Flag), No Remorse (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Wor Faayth (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Daisy Daisy (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Ceramic (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Royal Bay Cen (Ire) (New Bay {GB}). TDN Analysis: British contender Wor Faayth, who annexed July's Listed Criterium du Bequet at Bordeaux, was not disgraced when eighth in York's G2 Lowther Stakes last month and sets the standard here. Ulymine ran sixth in the former contest and has since posted a clear-cut win at Deauville. Other threats include G2 Prix du Calvados fourth Ceramic, G3 Prix Six Perfections fourth Royal Bay Cen and stakes-winning G3 Prix d'Arenberg fourth Graft. Peter Player's Daisy Daisy stepped from a claiming score to snag a Deauville conditions heat in August, while Samangan finished two lengths ahead of No Remorse when the pair met at on the Normandy coast last month. [Sean Cronin]. Saturday, Chantilly, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX DES CHENES – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-G3, €73,200, 2yo, c/g, 8fT Field: Synaran (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Ikotofetsy (Fr) (Threat {Ire}), Segall (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Oceans Four (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}), Rochfortbridge (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Canalejas (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Elastic (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Andre Fabre nominee Segall rocks up for this black-type debut returning off a TDN Rising Star display, four lengths ahead of the reopposing subsequent winner Synaran, at Saint-Cloud in early June and will attempt to extend the maestro's record haul in the contest to 11. However, this is no straightforward task and his opposition includes G3 Solario Stakes demotee Oceans Four, who will bid to become a rare overseas winner here, and July's Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles third Canalejas. Christophe Ferland trainee Elastic is match-fit coming back off a decisive win at Saint-Cloud earlier in the month and should not be overlooked, while Ikotofetsy and Rochfortbridge both ran fourth in Group 3 heats when last seen. [Sean Cronin]. Saturday, Chantilly, France, post time: 17:00, PRIX BERTRAND DE TARRAGON – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, f/m, 9fT Field: Zabeel Light (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Iradie (Fr) (Sommerabend {GB}), Waldora (Fr) (Waldgeist {GB}), Riyabovka (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Royal Dress (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Mme Jourdain (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Euboa (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Zuna (Fr) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Al Uqda (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), American Gal (GB) (Kameko), Mqse Des Nymphes (GB) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Relaxx (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Place Fontenoy (Fr) (War Command. TDN Analysis: Godolphin's Ilda Rosa was a neck shy of leading German distaffer Santagada when second in July's G3 Hamburger Stuten Meile and, last seen running third in La Teste's Listed Prix Occitanie, is due an upturn in fortune after four placings at black-type level this term. May's G2 German 1000 Guineas third Place Fontenoy ran second in the latter contest, while other leading contenders in this open renewal include the dual Group 3-placed Relaxx, Listed Prix de la Cochere runner-up Zabeel Light, G3 Prix Allez France third Euboa and Listed Prix Zarkava victrix Zuna. The British raiding party consists of G1 Prix de Diane seventh American Gal and G1 Prix Jean Romanet eighth Royal Dress. [Sean Cronin]. Click here for the complete fields.
