[Supermaster]

Goffs Yearling Stakes:
System/Symphony Perfect/Ever Given/Wings of War/Adeb

[Supermaster]

Clipper Logistics Handicap 1m 3-y-o+
To cut down what could be a very long short list I'll focus on the 4-y-os though older horses do ok in this race:
Astro King/Fame and Acclaim/Baashir/La Trinidad/Gifted Ruler

[Supermaster]

Lowther:
1 Zain Claudette 6/1
2 Sandrine 6/5
3 Desert Dreamer 5/1

[Supermaster]

Goffs Yearling:

1 Ever Given 3/1
2 Atomic Lady 12/1
3 Wings of War 9/2
4 Symphony Perfect 12/1

[Supermaster]

Clipper logistics

1 Cruyff Turn 28/1
2 Magical Morning 12/1
3 Astr0 King 7/1
4 Fox Champion 25/1

Easterby strikes again with another big handicap win - first three all 4-y-os but I didn't fancy the winner because of lack of big field experience.

In the Yorkshire Oaks Snowfall deserves to be odds on favourite on her racecourse form but Wonderful Tonight is a worthy rival. A race to sit back and watch

Edit:
Well that was the proverbial armchair ride for Ryan Moore. "ah she's lovely" was O'Brien's description.
Ryan seemed to think she could stay 1m6f but that may wait till next year given the Irish St Leger is all age.

[Supermaster]

Sky Bet handicap - a very classy 1m4f handicap from which future winners are likely to come
The two 3-y-os State of Bliss and Wink of an Eye have strong form claims
For the older horses I like Dark Jedi and HMS President

edit:
1 Sam Cooke 14/1
2 Throne Hall 9/1
3 Dark Jedi 11/1
4 Johnny Drama 15/2

I couldn't fancy the winner on its form

[Supermaster]

Lonsdale Cup
I'll probably be proved spectacularly wrong but there are signs that Stradivarius is past his best and so for this I prefer Spanish Mission who should be well suited by course, trip and going

Edit
1 Stradivarius 4/6
2 Spanish Mission 15/8

Small field but an exciting race

[Supermaster]

Gimcrack
Berkshire Shadow/Lusail
e/w Eldrick Jones

1 Lusail 7/2
2 Gis A Sub 8/1
3 Twilight Jet 18/1

The winner will aim at the 2000 guineas rather than sprint races

Nunthorpe:
3-y-os don't have a good record in this race but they don't have either in the Qatar and that didn't stop Suesa

So Dragon Symbol/Suesa/Winter Power
Outsider: Emaraaty Ana

[Supermaster]

Nunthorpe result

1 Winter Power 9/1
2 Emaraaty Ana 40/1 (former Gimcrack winner)
3 Dragon Symbol 4/1
4 Suesa 9/4
5 Chil Chil 22/1

Great for local trainer Tim Easterby. Suesa beaten by draw and early pace. Stayed on well and should run well in the Abbaye with likely softer ground
Arecibo looked unlucky

Nunthorpe:
3-y-os don't have a good record in this race but they don't have either in the Qatar and that didn't stop Suesa

So Dragon Symbol/Suesa/Winter Power
Outsider: Emaraaty Ana

Unbelievable son. Hope you did the Tricast !!
