This evening we’re going to switch from Royal Ascot to Newmarket. I’ve got four rides in this evening meeting. I think probably the pick of the four would be Specialisation for Richard Hannon in a trappy little handicap, but it still looks like he’s learning through his races. He beat a subsequent winner last time on the all-weather, albeit he was a little bit keen. But by stepping up in distance, I think it’s a suitable pedigree for him and hopefully he can just relax a little bit more as he gets a bit more racing, I definitely think that this horse has still got plenty of handicap rating in hand, so he definitely has a chance.
Then in the last race, the 2nd pick of my rides would be Sir Galahad for James Ferguson. Since he started handicapping this year his first run was a good second at Kempton, but disappointed last time on the turf, probably ridden a little bit too aggressive. So we’ll try and ride a little bit more of a conservative race. He’s quite a one pace horse, so we’ll need to get it right. But I think if we can just get the pacing right, this horse can definitely show something over a mile and a half on a galloping track like Newmarket.
