The list to follow is throwing up a reasonable supply of winners the latest being Liberate at 7/1.
Former top jockey Pat Eddery is in his first season as a trainer. I see that he runs The Jay Factor in the 6.15 at Sandown. This colt is a half ...

Dolor
I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils,

The recent successful run for our horses to follow continued on Friday with Signatory and River Bravo both winning.

With Salisbury abandoned and both Tax Free and Edaara withdrawn because of the ground at Goodwood it was left to Trafalgar Square to fly the flag for the list to follow. Despite being weak in the market he was an easy winner at 9/2.

Assuming Salisbury goes ahead there will be 4 runners from our list to follow on Thursday.
Tax Free is one of the more confident choices in this season’s list to follow. He has won 4 of his 5 career starts and could be a bit special. He may well win ...
