FORTUNE COOKIES CELEBRATES THE ‘FILLY FIND OF THE SEASON’: Fortune Cookies horses to follow have star dates at the big Curragh and Leopardstown meetings in September but Daqman is bubbling about his Prix Morny bet Campanelle, describing her as the ‘Enable-type filly find of the season’. He also thinks he has a ‘King’ colt from the Kameko stable. Full list below.
THREE TUESDAY BETS: DAQMAN avoids a plethora of non runners to bring you three bets on Tuesday including a front running NAP at Catterick.
FORTUNE COOKIES’ NEW ENABLE
🏇 ADDEYBB We said we’d bring back Addeybb for the autumn, and we now have his target race: the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday, September 12.
🏇 ARAMON Our first Fortune Cookie for the Jumps was brought onto the list early so that we could bet in the Galway Plate. He won at 7-1.
🏇 ART POWER Surely deserving of our continued faith in him on better ground after a Nunthorpe which only Battaash of the fancied horses survived.
He travelled well to Ireland to win a Group 3 at Naas in July, and connections think he could redeem himself in the Flying Five at the Curragh on Sunday, September 13.
🏇 BATTLEGROUND We now expect to see him in the Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday, September 12.
🏇 CAMPANELLE If Frankie Dettori could spend a week in Deauville waiting on his Queen Mary winner, we could surely invest some of the Fortune Cookie bank in her Prix Morny attempt!
We did and she won at 17-10, becoming our Enable-type filly find for this season. Dewhurst? Breeders Cup?
🏇 CHIL CHIL It has been confirmed that, as forecast in this column, the Ayr Gold Cup is the target for Andrew Balding’s smooth Ascot winner.
🏇 DANDALLA Completed a hat-trick for us at the July Meeting. Likes soft ground.
🏇 DREAM OF DREAMS Sir Michael Stoute has yet to announce her next race after the storming seven-lengths success in the Hungerford Stakes.
🏇 ENABLE The most rewarding of Fortune Cookies, now heads for the Arc, with a prep race in early September.
🏇 FANCY BLUE French Oaks and Nassau winner for us.
🏇 FANNY LOGAN Landed the Hardwicke for us on the soft, and more to come in the autumn.
🏇 HIGHEST GROUND Beaten a neck in the Dante, and now heads for the Doncaster St Leger.
🏇 KAMEKO It will be last-chance saloon for 2,000 Guineas winner Kameko when he returns to a mile, after the disappointment of the York International.
🏇 KING VEGA Kameko was second in last year’s Solario Stakes at Sandown and King Vega, from the same stable, was not unduly punished to get the same result last week, running up to a fine sort in Etonian but likely to overtake him as he progresses.
🏇 LUCKY VEGA We already have a son of Lope De Vega in the list, scintillating winner of the Phoenix Stakes for Jessica Harrington, and now likely to head for the National Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday, September 13.
DELETED DASHING WILLOUGHBY Flopped in the Lonsdale Cup at York on his final start before being trained in Australia for the Melborne Cup.
FRONT RUNNING STAG LOOKS BEST
⭕ 1.55 Catterick Storm Francis has had his say with rapidly changing conditions overnight and a stack of non runners across the country. 20 at Bangor at the time of writing and, staying in Wales, tomorrow’s meeting at Chepstow has already been abandoned.
It’s soft at Catterick so this 1m 6f will be a real slog and there are a couple in here with a big question mark in terms of the going.
New Society was well beaten over this trip on soft ground at Carlisle whilst Chief Craftsman also flopped over distance and ground when beaten 40 lengths at Haydock.
Stag Horn looks the play and can be another winner for Hollie Doyle.
He’s a front runner and that might not be a bad thing around the tight contours of Catterick. He is also a class dropper having competed at Goodwood, Ascot and Sandown in his last three starts.
He has raced a bit freely in the past but hopefully the first time cheekpieces will sort that issue out.
He’s only had the six starts so is capable of finding further improvement and does have soft ground form too having finished a good third on his second start at Goodwood last year.
AJRAD ADDS UP
⭕ 3.20 Yarmouth Best race on the Yarmouth card is the class 4 opener and I think Ridgeway Avenue might be worth opposing.
The James Ferguson trained runner looks short in the BETDAQ market based on his debut effort at York which was a fair enough effort but it didn’t look any better to me than Ajrad’s good debut second at Ascot to Laneqash who looks quite smart.
RUX RUXX HAS THE X-FACTOR
⭕ 4.35 Catterick A real trappy seven furlong handicap in which Rux Ruxx might be able to make it a course and distance hat-trick.
The Tim Easterby trained mare won off a mark of 80 (today 79) here last year and whilst that was on quicker ground she does have winning form on soft too. She’ll be fit from a recent spin at Wolverhampton and might prove a better proposition than the course and distance specialist Redrosezorro who won over course, distance and ground eight days ago but the 5lb penalty for a narrow win might be tough for him to overcome.
