ERNST BLOFELD (1.20) has a licence to thrill in the Coral Kincsem Handicap. Named after the Bond supervillain, his run when he was tailed off in the Golden Gates handicap at Royal Ascot was too bad to be true.
He paid for getting caught very wide around the first two turns and it’s best to forgive that shocking effort. His close fourth in the London Gold Cup at Newbury in his handicap debut is a much better indication of his ability.

That’s smart form and this bigger field with the promise of a stronger pace should be ideal. Have 2pts each-way at 16-1. Sky Bet is paying out on six places.
There looks to be loads of pace in the Buccellati Handicap and that should set it up nicely for FLUORESCENCE (3.45).
She won her first two starts – both over 6f – but she looks to have stacks of speed. Her first try at the minimum trip on Southwell’s all-weather track nearly three weeks ago was a good effort considering she chased a strong early gallop.
A more patient ride should pay dividends for Ed Bethell’s speedy filly. Have 1pt each-way at 10-1. Plenty of firms are offering five places.
It’s easy to see TRANSPARENT (5.30) running well in the final race. A low draw is important over 1m and he’s copped an advantageous berth in stall two.
There was a lot to like about the way he stuck to the task when third on his first run since being gelded behind progressive Tremolo on the all-weather at Southwell.
His first run on turf when runner-up at Newmarket in April, after twice winning on the sand during the winter, suggested he was well treated. That impression was underlined at Southwell three weeks ago.
His trainer, Tom Ward, struggled for winners in the first half of the turf season but his team have turned the corner is some style in recent weeks. Have 1pt each-way at 14-1. Sky Bet is going six places.
The fillies’ maiden is often a race worth following and UNCERTAINTY (4.55) looks to have a bright future now she tackles 7f for the first time.
She was too inexperienced on her debut at Newbury three weeks ago but she came home really well to finish second when she got the hang of racing.
Her pedigree suggests the step to 7f will be ideal. Have 1pt each-way at 14-1. A couple of firms are offering four places.
