Tippin' Jimmy gives us his five best bets on the day's racing.
1:50 Haydock - African Friend (5/2)
To win after an absence is never an easy thing to do, but class prevailed and I do think African Friend is one to follow. He did only win by a neck, but he should come on a lot for that run. Ideally he will want some rain in Lancashire, but he is progressive and should be more than capable of winning offf this mark.
2:10 Newbury - Stage Magic (Evs) NAP
This horse is a maiden winner in waiting for Godolphin. He made a really encouraging debut at Haydock which certainly caught the eye. He ran green before powering home really quickly, and only lost out by a neck. He should improve a lot from the run, and even though this does look competitive should go one better.
2:20 Haydock - Prestbury Park (8/1)
A popular named horse for Mark Johnston, is a really good price considering what looks brilliant breeding. He's out of a Group One winner, and sired by Shamardal. His debut looked to be going very smoothly before he just dropped off very quickly. He will need to improve a lot, but that was only an education, and he's got bags of potential.
3:50 Newbury - Natural (8/1)
I was so gutted about this horse's very poor performance at Royal Ascot, and I really hope she can return to her best today. She won her debut in really good style, showing enough on debut to make her look like a real top class filly. This is another tough ask, but I am expecting a much better performance.
6:40 Newmarket - Time Arrow (13/2)
It's taken an age for Sir Michael Stoute to get this three-year-old to win, and now he has he could be a major player to strike again. He finished second best on four occasions before winning at Thirsk. That form is quite strong, and leaves him in a good position on his handicap debut.
£1 Lucky 15 (African Friend/Stage Magic/ Prestbury Park/ Natural) returns over £1100
