*All odds are subject to change<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:15 \u2013 Newmarket: The Lost King \u2013 WIN (7\/4)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is no shame in being beaten by Talk Of New York, as was the case for The Lost King last time out.<\/p>\n

The above-mentioned Godolphin horse was a cut above that day, but the runner-up shaped promisingly and is holding his form well in group company.<\/p>\n

His penultimate effort was equally as impressive, narrowly going down a nose to Persica from the Richard Hannon team, who importantly had his optimum conditions.<\/p>\n

Two wins at York earlier in the year have made this a memorable campaign for connections and I think they can get their first group success with this lad, in what looks an average Group 3.<\/p>\n

14:45 \u2013 Chepstow: Stick To The Board \u2013 WIN (SP)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This looks a perfect assignment for Stick To The Board to win on hurdle debut for Paul Nicholls and Sam Twiston-Davies.<\/p>\n

He was very impressive on rules debut here at Chepstow when last seen, and still shaped like he had plenty left in the tank when winning his bumper back in March.<\/p>\n

The second that day has won since, giving the form a nice look and there are rumours he could be Nicholls\u2019 Challow Hurdle horse.<\/p>\n

He fell in his sole point when running a big race, but the winner that day was Red Acres Max – who is another hugely exciting prospect in training with Jamie Snowden. I think he will take a bit of beating here.<\/p>\n

15:00 \u2013 Newmarket: Desert Castle \u2013 WIN (10\/11)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I think Desert Castle has a live chance in the 2000 Guineas next year and as such, should be very competitive in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been scintillating on two starts, greatly impressing on debut over course and distance, before easily landing Group 2 honours at Doncaster 28 days ago.<\/p>\n

There are still slight signs of inexperience on display, but this excites me more than worries me, simply because he is nowhere near the finished article.<\/p>\n

He continues racing over seve furlongs this weekend, but will certainly get a mile in time – and there is no reason to believe he won\u2019t go extremely well.<\/p>\n

15:40 \u2013 Newmarket: Beylerbeyi \u2013 WIN (9\/2)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Backing the favourite in a 29-runner feature handicap is incredibly boring and I will no doubt have a hard look in the mirror after I finish this column.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the selection has been the victim of some painful rides this season, notably here at Newmarket when finishing fourth – and his penultimate fifth at York in August.<\/p>\n

He ran a blinder when last seen at Doncaster and thankfully, the 2lb rise he got that day will not apply for this race, meaning he is even better treated than first thought.<\/p>\n

This horse will be ridden cold and if he can avoid traffic problems, will go close to glory.<\/p>\n
