DAQMAN’S NAP DOES THE DEED IN 32-1 TREBLE: Daqman named three more winners yesterday, combining them in a Daq Multiples treble of nearly 32-1. They included his nap, Tabdeed (WON 6-4). The trio were:
WON 7-2 LUSH LIFE
WON 2-1 GHOSTWATCH
WON 6-4 YABDEED (nap)
THE BETDAQ LIFE! WINNERS 12 DAYS RUNNING: That brought Daqman’s total of hits in the last TWELVE days to EIGHTEEN, with at least one winner each day. The best of them were:
WON 11-1 WISSAHICKON
WON 11-1 JORDAN ELECTRONICS
WON 10-1 SAMPHIRE COAST
WON 8-1 BESHAAYIR
247 POINTS UP ON PRICEWISE TO UNIT STAKE: Today he launches the Longchamp Arc meeting with his standing against Pricewise of the Racing Post 74-23 with Daqman plus 120 points to Pricewise’s minus 127 to single-unit stakes.
BRUNT LAUNCHED AS CUP HORSE
1.00 Longchamp (Prix Chaudenay) Brundtland won the Prix Niel Arc trial but Charlie Appleby thinks the unbeaten Dubawi colt is a Cup horse.
Ziyad, who holds a verdict over Lilian Russell, should test his stamina in the race that threw up the French marathon champion Vazirabad in 2015.
3.30 Longchamp (Prix Dollar) Loxley (3.55 on BETDAQ), who is also saddled by Charlie Appleby, and Knight To Behold are others to have swerved the Arc.
Loxley, Grand Prix de Deauville winner, flopped in the St Leger and is back in trip. He is officially 4lb behind Knight To Behold, who beat Kew Gardens in the Lingfield Derby Trial early on.
Fabricate (Michael Bell) is a fighter up in grade but who does best after a longish break.
PLUM BET CAN BETTER ADDEYBB
4.05 Longchamp (Prix Daniel Wildenstein) Lincoln Handicap winner Addeybb stepped up to take the Sandown Mile at this level, putting him officially 18lb higher.
Plumatic cruised home when sent over to Salisbury, and probably struck the front too soon in a fast-run Prix du Moulin over today’s Longchamp CD a month back.
The ground may not be soft enough for Addeybb, in which case he may sidestep the race in favour of the british Champions Day meeting later on.
MORGAN TO SPOIL GREEN PARTY
4.40 Longchamp (Prix Du Cadran) Mille Et Mille won this in 2015, was only fifth in 2016 but was beaten just half a length last year.
Another eight-year-old, Max Dynamite, has won only once in three years but was third in the 2017 Melbourne Cup and beaten just half a length by a stablemate in the Doncaster Cup in September.
Holdthasigreen played second fiddle to Marmelo and Vazirabad until this summer when, on good ground, he won the Kergorlay from Marmelo and Nearly Caught, with Mille Et Mille seven lengths behind him.
Call the Wind has been progressive but for a Frankel to win a Group 1 at 2m 4f would change the breeding landscape!
The 2017 Chester Cup and Lonsdale Cup winner, Montaly, has been quiet in six runs since and could bounce back.
Holdthasigreen is likely to see off the old boys if the going stays on top, but the money has come for Morgan le Faye, third in another French marathon, the Gladiateur, and daughter of a Cadran winner, Molly Malone.
SPRINT LINED UP FOR LUFTON
1.50 Ascot (Rous Stakes) Not a successful favourite in sight among winners in the decade, and rain is forecast.
That’s probably why Judicial and A Momentofmadness were easy to back this morning. It would also be a blow to Mythmaker, whose stable won this three years running (2008-11).
This is a Listed so the ratings should help: 110 Mr Lupton, 108 Judicial, 107 Muthmir and Spring Loaded. Mr Lupton beat Muthmir at York, and pace and ground should suit: BETDAQ 5.2.
2.45 Redcar (Two-Year-Old Trophy) This is also a Listed but has penalties and allowances, so it’s tough at the top!
In fact, only one winner in the decade has carried more than 8st 12lb, and down among the ‘hidden’ horses, Canal Rocks looks big at 60.00.
If the rain fell in any quantity, connections would put the bubbly on ice for 6.8 BETDAQ favourite Vintage Brut (cheekpieces first time). If it stayed dry, Beat le Bon (9.2), dropped back in trip, could carry the weight.
IT’S LAURENS CHARIOT OF FIRE
3.15 Newmarket (Sun Chariot Stakes) Only light rain early and a fine afternoon, was expected at HQ which gives front-running Laurens the edge in this Group-1 clash with soft-ground winner Wind Chimes, sent over by Andre Fabre on a £20,000 supplement despite plenty of business at the two-day Arc meeting in Paris.
Laurens has already beaten Clemmie and Happily, and looks set to avenge her Guineas defeat by Billesdon Brook, who was a couple of pounds behind Veracious over further at Goodwood. If rain did fall in quantity, I’d Happily change my mind!
Bear in mind the resurgence of Aidan O’Brien with eight Group-1 hits in the last fortnight, and you have to fear both Clemmie (Ryan Moore) and Happily (Donnacha O’Brien).
PRIMO CHANCE IN CHALLENGE
3.35 Ascot (Challenge Cup) Connections piled into two of the three Jamie Osborne runners here yesterday and he landed a double on the card for the second time in three years.
One leg of the 2016 double was Raising Sand, who switched to this Challenge Cup 12 months ago and was beaten little more than a length off a 4lb higher mark, if you allow for today’s claim by Nicola Currie, who has ridden 60 winners this year.
Raising Sand (8.4 in the BETDAQ orange as I write) has won twice at Ascot and, despite missing the break, was less than four lengths off the winner at the finish of the Royal Hunt Cup.
He was on the wrong side (drawn 35), though first in his group, when Nicola rode him in the Cambridgeshire, but he was well down the field earlier in the race won by Rip Orff.
Rip Orff has been out of the first four only once in 17 starts, and was third in the International over today’s CD. He will be severely tested again today, with Cape Byron having only half a length to pull back on him, but both therefore a lump of lead behind Flaming Spear on Goodwood form, from which Vale Of Kent and Lake Volta are right in the picture, but Spear may lose his thrust today with his stable badly out of form.
Il Primo Sole (13.5 offers) ran a fine race in the Britannia but flopped in the International. Shady McCoy has run some good races here but seems just a few pounds too high.
