'Future Champions' day to coin a phrase at Newmarket today.
My admiration for Strong Suit is well known to anyone who has visited this site before and I will be on the Hannon three-year-old again today at 13-8 when the colt lines up for the Group Two Burj Khalifa Challenge Stakes at 2.05.
The Group One Middle Park Stakes at 2.55 looks difficult but I fancy the French Raider. Family One has seen plenty of action this season having won four of his six starts and looks a bit of a speedster to me. Second last time out in the Group One Prix Morny at Deauville I am on at 5-1.
At 3.10 we have the Group One Dewhurst Stakes with some nice youngsters lining up. Bronterre must be respected along with Ektihaam but the Aidan O'Brien trained Power looks to be the best two-year-old in the British Isles thus far with his National Stakes win looking the best form on offer. I will be taking 100-30 early.
The Cesarewitch at 3.50 is as tricky as ever this year and I will be having a little each way punt. Unusually for a race of two and a quarter miles the draw can be an advantage and low is usually the way to go. A lot of the interesting horses are drawn high but the David Pipe trained Beyond has go three and William Buick in the saddle. He won at Sandown in July and this stamina test could be ideal for the four-year-old and at 14-1 he is my each way pick.
Be lucky
