DAY ONE AT NEWMARKET: The Newmarket Cambridgeshire meeting opens today. Not easy, so we’ll keep plenty in the kitty for the weekend.
MOORE’S MONUMENTAL BID
⭕ 3.20 Newmarket (Tattersalls Stakes, 2yo, 7f, Group 3): The 2021 winner of this Group 3, Modern Games for Charlie Appleby, went on to take the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf.
He won the French 2,000 Guineas the following May and returned to America as Breeders Cup Mile hero in the November.
Modern Games’ journey began as winner of a nursery at the Doncaster St Leger meeting, but today’s Godolphin grey, Symbol Of Honour, was Town Moor runner-up at a higher level in the Flying Scotsman (Listed), after taking a wide course.
The third horse home that day, The Waco Kid, had run a well-beaten fourth to the Derby favourite, The Lion In Winter (Aidan O’Brien), in the Acomb Stakes at York.
Is that enough to beat O’Brien’s Monumental, who earned a 7lb higher mark, coincidentally also on Town Moor, the day after Symbol Of Honour’s Listed?
Monumental (Ryan Moore) ran second in a slowish time for the Champagne Stakes, won by Bay City Roller, after the favourite, Chancellor, broke out of the stalls and had to be withdrawn. Today’s race is down a grade.
BE IN CLOVER WITH NAYYIR
⭕ 3.55 Newmarket (Rose Bowl, 2m): Andrew Balding has won this twice in the last four years, and Night Sparkle, winner of two fillies’ handicaps last summer, is overdue success as a mare after stepping up into a series of tough stakes races.
Second in two Group-2 tests for her own sex, the Lily Langtry and the Park Hill, she was fourth in the Lonsdale at York, and runner-up to Trueshan at Sandown.
Andrew Balding will be hoping the rain stays away. ‘This straightforward sort deserves a stakes race, but top of the ground is important to her.’
Al Nayyir won twice on the soft last summer and comes into this as runner-up to Vauban in the Lonsdale, in front of Night Sparkle, though that was first run for a second new yard in less than a year. He’s on 114.
If Tom Clover now has him making progress again after two long breaks to make these switches, and if he can reproduce his Dubai Gold Cup form, he is a good thing, getting 3lb from Harbour Wind (109 rated).
On the face of it, you could also mark up Al Nayyir, 6lb behind Tower Of London, who is now on 118 after winning the Curragh Cup.
The third horse in the Dubai Gold Cup was already on 118, though beaten a length and a half at levels by Al Nayyir that day.
Aidan O’Brien’s Frankel colt, Fighter, takes on his first two-miler after back-to-back big-field success in Ireland (1m 2f and 1m 5f) raised his mark by a stone. A three-year-old has won this just the once in 10 years.
Harbour Wind has not won beyond 1m 6f (on good) but has twice finished second (Group 2 and 3) just short of 2m on soft.
Though he won on soft when trained in France, Samui is not thought of as a winter horse, even though trained by Gordon Elliott, so we must assume that the Newmarket Cesarewitch is very much a target race, and he could be a surprise packet here at Betdaq Betting Exchange 14.0.
HE COULD BE THE CANDYMAN
⭕ 4.30 Newmarket (1m 4f class-4 handicap): Baltic’s form reads like a Mark Prescott sequence horse: 11111, up 24lb in a steady rise through the grades over the last year.
In fact, he’s trained by Harry Charlton, whose Beckhampton yard is in very good form right now.
Beat Tryfan a neck in July and 2lb better, with that one hardly making much progress (6lb higher for his last four starts).
Wonder Kid is up 17lb but reverts to a lower grade after failing to score in class 2 and 3.
You could also say that about Fighter Command but his being gelded last month may take him forward.
All in all, the form of those three front-runners in the market read as though they are ending a winning cycle or likely to.
So it is that Candyman Stan, at BETDAQ 6.7 this morning, is the interesting one in his first handicap, getting from 5lb to 9lb from them all.
Just three starts in his short career, running nine lengths clear in a small field at Lingfield and with the Andrew Balding combo with Oisin Murphy as hot as O’Brien and Moore.
Footnote: Macari is by Sixties Icon but Lou made his debut for Man U in 1973 and his grandson, Lewis, signed for Notts County only last year.
