This weeks action;

 

Selections:

Leg 1: Chancery 12/1 Skybet (Scarlet Dragon)

Just a 19 runner handicap to start the ball rolling and plenty in with a chance. I like Chancery now he has dropped back down the handicap and the O'Meara yard is in better form. The likely favourite will be Scarlet Dragon who followed up a victory at Newbury with a fine 4th at Goodwood last time out. Yard is flying at the moment and looks sure to be involved.

Leg 2: Scottish 4/1 William Hill (Custom Cut)

Group 3 action over 9f and the Godolphin runner Scottish will be hard to beat. He has improved since joining Charlie Appleby and ran well at haydock last time out in similar company. David O'Meara has won this for the last 2 years and he saddles Custom Cut who has yet to show the form he was in last year.

Leg 3: Shraaoh 7/2 Skybet (Regal Monarch)

The Melrose handicap over the Ebor trip of 14f and the Sir Michael Stoute trained Shraaoh is the warm favourite. Ridden by Frankie Vettori he will have a lot of support and will be out to gain compensation for a narrow defeat at Goodwood recently. I prefer Regal Monarch out of the two Mark Johnston runners and Aidan O'Briens pair should also be on the shortlist in a wide open affair.

Leg 4: South Seas 5/2 Bet365 (Total Star)

The Group 3 Solario Stakes at Sandown is our next race over 7f and we have a dozen useful looking colts lining up. The favourite is South Seas trained by Andrew Balding, he has won his two starts at Windsor and Haydock. Eight of these won last time out and have bags of potential including Total Star who looks one for the shortlist.

Leg 5: Oasis Fantasy 7/1 Paddy Power (Revolutionist)

Both Fire Fighting and Oasis Fantasy line up again after their terrific tussle last time out. Ed Dunlops charge is better off at the weights on this occasion and should reverse that form now. The Mark Johnston second string Revolutionist shouldn't be ignored and looks value at a big price while Hugo Palmer's Bandar is chasing a hat-trick and is clearly improving fast.

Leg 6: Top Tug 20/1 BetVictor (Antiquarium)

The Ebor Handicap with 20 runners lining up for the 1m6f trip. A decent renewal led by the Godolphin runner Antiquarium who won the Northumberland Plate last time out at Newcastle. This is a different test but the horse is obviously in good heart and should go close off his revised mark. Alan Kings horses are in good form and he runs Top Tug, he moves up to this trip for the first time and could be dangerous of those towards the bottom off the handicap. He has good course form as well and looks a big price.
