14:25 Haydock

I'm starting with the Group 3 Superior Mile and I think RAISING SAND   looks a nice price here.

He earned a course-and-distance victory back in October 2016 from his only run on the track and has had some notable performances this season, with wins in the Ascot Challenge Cup and International Stakes.

He also had big places in the Royal Hunt Cup and Victoria Cup and looks the one to beat here.

15:15 Kempton

This is another race over a mile and I’m going for Gary Moore’s GOSSIPING .

A nice victory here in March reads good form and he was a very impressive winner at Epsom, finishing five lengths ahead of Seniority.

The seven-year-old has been disappointing in his last two but I think he has a great chance in this field. Thomas Greatrex's 5lb claim will also help the handicap.

The Lavazza Stakes is up next and I can't see past CIRQUE ROYAL .

A runner-up behind stablemate Marhaban on debut was a solid start and he followed that up with two comfortable victories on the all-weather. A seven-length demolition at Lingfield was particularly impressive.

He's proven over 1m 4f and I’m just hoping he can transfer that all-weather form to the grass.

16:10 Haydock

I tipped The Tin Man in the Sprint Cup last year so I’m hoping for back-to-back wins with BRANDO .

He’s a difficult horse to get right and is sometimes very inconsistent, but he finished second here 12 months ago and will love the conditions.

That he was narrowly beaten as a 25/1 shot in Group 1 action at Deauville by one-time favourite Advertise also strengthens his form, so I think he’s the one to beat.
