The zippy three-year-old appeals at 8-1 for the highlight of a typically action-packed Super Saturday with 10 televised races.He may have been a shade unlucky when half a length behind Eqtidaar at Royal Ascot, having raced apart from that rival, and the ability he showed in two previous wins suggests he may be able to turn that around and beat the...
Ryan Moore can also claim first spot aboard Ripp Orf (5.20) in the closing one-mile handicap on the cardSo there’s a race on Friday at Newmarket which Aidan O’Brien has won for the last two years and it looks like he may very well win it again but his runner isn’t even favourite.

The UK’s heatwave has received official sanction after York announced a relaxation in its famously strict requirements for gentlemen in the County StandA vintage summer is unfolding, one that may go down as one of the most memorable ever and this weekend could be the high point. England are still in the World Cup; the wretched government is in serious trouble and the hot weather, which is going to cool down a tad in midweek, is going to be firmly back by then.
