Princess Margaret Japan Cup Stakes (Fillies' Group 3) - Ascot

Moonrise

J: Oisin Murphy T: A M Balding
Win & Each Way
11/2

Reason for Tip

Moonrise looks the type of filly still improving with every start and she arrives at Ascot with arguably the strongest piece of recent juvenile form in the field. Her excellent second in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot showed not only raw pace but also a willing attitude when challenged, travelling strongly before sticking on all the way to the line against a deep field. That race has already begun to work out well and sets the standard for many of these rivals.

Ascot’s stiff six furlongs should suit her even better than the sharper test she faced last time. She settles well, possesses a decisive change of gear and has already shown she handles the unique demands of the course. With natural progression expected from a lightly-raced juvenile and a yard that excels with two-year-olds stepping into Pattern company, Moonrise looks ready to gain a deserved black-type success. If she reproduces her Royal Ascot form, she’ll take plenty of beating.

Apollo One

J: D Tudhope T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck
Win & Each Way
14/1

Reason for Tip

Few horses in training boast a profile as dependable in the big sprint handicaps as Apollo One. The veteran has repeatedly mixed it with the very best handicap sprinters in Britain, regularly posting speed figures that make him a serious player whenever conditions fall right. York’s long straight has always rewarded experienced sprinters capable of travelling strongly before producing a sustained finish, and that is exactly the style Apollo One brings.

A high draw and a strong early pace should play perfectly into his hands, allowing him to settle before being delivered late. His consistency at this level is a major asset in a race where many rivals arrive with something to prove. With proven handicap form, course suitability and plenty of experience in large-field contests, Apollo One has all the ingredients required to finally land another valuable prize.

Touleen

J: W Buick T: Owen Burrows
Win Only
4/5

Reason for Tip

Touleen appeals as the class act in this field after producing an excellent effort in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. She finished behind genuine Group 1 fillies and now drops into a Group 3 assignment that represents a far more realistic opportunity.

She possesses tactical speed, settles beautifully through her races and looks particularly well suited by Ascot’s straight mile. This race also appears likely to be run at an even gallop, allowing her jockey to place her wherever comfortable before asking for maximum effort inside the final furlong. Having already proven herself against stronger opposition, Touleen sets the benchmark on ratings and recent form. If she reproduces anything close to her Royal Ascot performance, she’ll be extremely difficult to keep out of the winner’s enclosure.

25 Jul 14:35 - Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2) - York
25 Jul 14:35
Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2) - York

Damysus

J: James Doyle T: J & T Gosden
Win Only
3/1

Reason for Tip

Damysus arrives at York as one of the most progressive middle-distance performers in training. He has steadily climbed through the ranks this season, improving both physically and mentally with every outing. His latest performances suggest he is now ready to make the jump into genuine Group race company.

York is a track that rewards balance, rhythm and tactical speed, all strengths that Damysus possesses in abundance. He travels strongly through his races before quickening decisively when asked, a style perfectly suited to the Knavesmire’s long home straight. With further improvement still likely and conditions expected to play in his favour, this looks an ideal opportunity for him to announce himself as a genuine Group performer.

Extremely Zain

J: Tom Marquand T: W J Haggas
Win Only
23/10

Reason for Tip

Extremely Zain has quietly built one of the strongest handicap profiles in this contest. His recent efforts suggest he’s been crying out for a truly-run race over this trip and York should provide exactly that. He has consistently shaped as though there is still room from his current handicap mark, travelling powerfully before often finding traffic or meeting trouble at crucial stages.

The anticipated strong pace should allow him to settle towards midfield before producing his customary late surge. His finishing sectionals in recent outings have been among the best in comparable handicaps, indicating he remains ahead of the assessor. In a race where luck in running is always important, a clear passage could be all that’s needed for Extremely Zain to deliver a career-best performance.

Canvas

J: Christian Howarth T: S Dixon
Win & Each Way
20/1

Reason for Tip

Canvas makes plenty of appeal as an improving handicapper with the profile of a horse still some way short of reaching his ceiling. Every run this season has suggested more is to come, particularly the manner in which he has finished his races despite not always enjoying ideal positions in running.

York’s fair, galloping nature should suit him perfectly, allowing him to find his rhythm before being produced late. His current handicap mark still looks workable considering the strength of the races he’s contested recently, while the stable has an excellent record of placing progressive horses into valuable handicaps at exactly the right time. Everything points towards another step forward and this could easily be the day he puts it all together.

King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Group 1) - Ascot

Calandagan

J: M Barzalona T: F Graffard
Win Only
17/10

Reason for Tip

Calandagan sets the standard and fully deserves favouritism in Britain’s midsummer championship. Already an elite-level performer, he returns to Ascot seeking another Group 1 success after establishing himself among the world’s highest-rated middle-distance horses.

What makes Calandagan so formidable is his versatility. He travels comfortably at any pace, possesses an exceptional turn of foot and has repeatedly shown he can dig deep when races become tactical. Ascot clearly suits him, while the likely race conditions appear ideal. His biggest rivals are talented in their own right, but few can match his blend of proven Group 1 class, consistency and finishing power. Unless one of the younger improvers produces something extraordinary, Calandagan has every chance of adding another King George to an already outstanding CV.

1:45 - Princess Margaret Japan Cup Stakes (Group 3, 6f) - Ascot

Moonrise

Moonrise arrives with arguably the strongest juvenile form in the field after an excellent second in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot — a race that’s already working out well. Ascot’s stiff 6f should suit even better than the sharper test she faced last time. She settles, possesses a decisive change of gear and has already proven she handles this course. Natural progression expected — she’ll take plenty of beating if reproducing her Royal Ascot form.

2:00 - Sky Bet Dash (Heritage Handicap, 6f) - York

Apollo One

Few horses boast a profile as dependable in big sprint handicaps as Apollo One. York’s long straight has always rewarded experienced sprinters who travel strongly before producing a sustained finish – exactly his style. A high draw and strong early pace should play perfectly into his hands. Proven handicap form, course suitability and bags of big-field experience make him a serious player.

2:05 - Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap - York

Canvas

An improving handicapper who looks some way short of his ceiling. Every run this season has suggested more is to come, particularly the way he’s been finishing his races despite not always enjoying ideal positions. York’s fair, galloping track should suit perfectly. His mark still looks workable and the stable has an excellent record placing progressive types into valuable handicaps at exactly the right time. Everything points to another step forward.

2:20 - Longines Valiant Stakes (Group 3, 1m) - Ascot

Touleen

The class act in this field. Touleen produced an excellent effort in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot behind genuine Group 1 fillies – now she drops into a far more realistic Group 3 assignment. She possesses tactical speed, settles beautifully and looks particularly well suited by Ascot’s straight mile. She sets the benchmark on ratings and recent form. Anything close to her Royal Ascot run makes her extremely difficult to beat.

2:35 - Sky Bet York Stakes (Group 2, 1m2½f) - York

Damysus

One of the most progressive middle-distance performers in training. Damysus has steadily climbed through the ranks this season, improving physically and mentally with every outing. York rewards balance, rhythm and tactical speed — all strengths he possesses in abundance. He travels strongly before quickening decisively, a style perfectly suited to the Knavesmire’s long home straight. With further improvement likely, this looks the ideal stage for him to announce himself as a genuine Group performer.

2:55 - Moët & Chandon International Handicap (Heritage, 7f) - Ascot

Extremely Zain

Quietly built one of the strongest handicap profiles in this contest. He’s been crying out for a truly-run race over this trip and Ascot should provide it. His finishing sectionals in recent outings have been among the best in comparable handicaps — he remains ahead of the assessor. The anticipated strong pace should let him settle midfield before producing his customary late surge. A clear passage could be all that’s needed for a career-best.

Calandagan

Calandagan sets the standard and fully deserves favouritism in Britain’s midsummer championship. Already among the world’s highest-rated middle-distance horses, he returns to Ascot seeking another Group 1 success. His versatility is what makes him so formidable – comfortable at any pace, exceptional turn of foot, and he digs deep when it matters. Ascot clearly suits and conditions look ideal. Unless one of the younger improvers produces something extraordinary, Calandagan has every chance of adding another King George to an already outstanding CV.
