14:25 (Newmarket) Venetian Sun

14:45 (York) Sayidah Dariyan

15:00 (Newmarket) Endless Victory

15:35 (Newmarket) January

 

13:50 (Newmarket) King's Charter

King's Charter is a Charlie Appleby-trained gelding and will have William Buick in the saddle for the Bet365 Handicap.

Returned to action with a smooth success in a novice event at Doncaster last month and could have more to offer now stepping up to 1m2f making handicap debut.

The progressive Kurakka won nicely over further making handicap debut at Haydock and cannot be ignored with further improvement likely.

Urban Glimpse could be in the mix following good second-place finishes attempting similar handicaps at Sandown and York.

 

14:10 (York) Dubai Treasure

Dubai Treasure bids for a hat-trick in the William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Handicap following victories at Wolverhampton and Lingfield.

Fifty Nifty is yet to score this year. Placed once which came on seasonal reappearance at Newmarket and finished eleventh in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Has potential.

Talis Evolvere placed third at Newcastle on most recent appearance. Will be thereabouts.

Streets Of Gold finished fourth behind the third pick last time. Holds winning course and distance form. Not discounted.

 

14:25 (Newmarket) Venetian Sun

All eyes will be on the unbeaten Venetian Sun in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes.

This Karl Burke-trained filly created a huge impression winning the 6f G3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and is suited by this track.

Impressive debut winner Spicy Marg looks capable of better than when tenth in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot. Could prove the main danger now stepping up to 6f.

Argentine Tango is held by the main selection on earlier form. Cannot be completely ruled out after landing a Listed event over course and distance last start.

Shine On Me also warrants consideration.

 

14:45 (York) Sayidah Dariyan

Sayidah Dariyan drops markedly in grade for the Group 3 Summer Stakes. Ran respectably finishing fourth in the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot three weeks back after placing third in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury.

First Instinct is consistent with one win and three placed efforts in four starts so far this season including a 0.5L second attempting the Listed Land O’Burns Fillies Stakes at Ayr. Will be thereabouts.

Nighteyes placed 0.75L third in the Listed Cecil Frail Stakes at Haydock Park before a fourth tackling the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Electric Storm finished fourth behind the second pick at Ayr last time and has place hopes.

 

15:00 (Newmarket) Endless Victory

Charlie Appleby trains Endless Victory who caught the eye when seventh in a handicap tackling this trip at Royal Ascot last time.

Suffered trouble in running on that occasion and could make amends off a 1lb lower mark granted a clearer passage in the Bet365 Trophy.

Dancing in Paris commands respect racing off the same mark as when a neck runner-up in a valuable 2m2f handicap at Newcastle late last month.

Story Horse is 1lb well-in at the weights. Could provide a bold bid following a good second to a subsequent winner at Goodwood last time.

Insanity and Oneforthegutter both make for each-way appeal.

 

15:35 (Newmarket) January

The Aidan O'Brien-trained three-year-old January can make the most of her age allowance in the  Falmouth Stakes and return to winning ways following a fine third in the 1m G1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Crimson Advocate was in receipt of 3lb beating Cinderella's Dream by 1.75L in the G2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes tackling this trip at Royal Ascot last month.

Both race off level weights where the former looks to be progressing nicely and can uphold form while the latter still commands respect racing for top connections and could be in the mix once more.

Running Lion rounds out the shortlist.
