Get a taste of paradise at Newmarket by tucking into a Bounti. You’d have to be nuts to turn your nose up at useful BOUNTIFUL (2.12) in this fillies’ handicap.
George Boughey’s three-year-old finished a close fourth in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge at last year’s July Meeting and she returns to compete in a much lower grade. Her third in a Listed race on Lingfield’s all-weather track was a good starting point to this year and she was returning from a three-month break when finishing in midfield in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot.

The return to 7f is also in her favour. Have 2pts each-way at 12-1.
The Al Basti Equiworld Dubai July Cup is the big race of the day. This wouldn’t be the strongest field ever assembled for one of the most prestigious sprints of the summer and BIG MOJO (4.35) has always had the potential to develop into a top performer.
He got a horrific run through the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, having kicked off this season with victory in the trial for that Group 1 prize at the same track.
His form as a two-year-old last season was very smart. After winning the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, he ran really well in even better races, including when fourth at the Breeders’ Cup.
Tom Marquand - in the saddle in America and for his comeback victory at Ascot – is back on board today. Have 1pt each-way at 12-1. Sky Bet is paying out on five places.
York holds its wonderful John Smith’s Cup meeting where ROMIEU (3.10) looks to have a decent chance in the big race despite his inexperience.
He only made his debut in April when successful at Redcar. To finish a close fifth behind Old Cock in another competitive York handicap on just his second start was a huge effort.
He was unlucky when runner-up at Newcastle last month and he’s got the assistance of hot apprentice Elizabeth Gale. Have 1pt each-way at 14-1. A couple of firms are offering six places.
TOCA MADERA (4.50) is my best bet at Ascot. The form of his third behind subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair in a hot York handicap in May couldn’t have worked out much better.
He will appreciate the return to 5f after pulling too hard over further at Windsor last month. Have 2pts each-way at 16-1. Sky Bet is going six places.
