  4.35: Inisherin 11/4 (1.5pts)

Key To Cotai

Faces a tough challenge carrying the second most weight in this field but has clear chances having gone second behind Jabaara at Carlisle listed fillies Eternal Stakes a couple of weeks ago.

She’s been in the top two in each of her last four races and has handled the rise in the weights each time too.

A more efficient run this time out will see him right up there having placed behind the 105-rated filly who made it a quick listed double.

Ancient Truth

Scored comfortably ahead of Invited over course and distance last month, despite carrying a penalty.

That horse was third behind Anno Domini on debut who has since gone on to win at Sandown in a tough Class 2 novice contest.

The form lines work well and given the way he won while carrying 6lb more than his rivals, despite being carried right and hanging right, it was clear to see his potential ability.

Inisherin

Next up for the tips is the July Cup Stakes, a Group 1 contest in the British Champions Series with huge prize money, featuring as many as 12 runners this year as things stand.

The odds start around 11/4 for Inisherin at the time of writing and even that feels far too high for this colt.

He’s been incredible this season with three wins from four runs and as a three-year-old is given 6lb by the likes of Kinross and Regional, who could put their top level experience to use here.

Vandeek was disappointing behind Inisherin at Haydock in May on his first start of the season having been unbeaten in four as a two year old.

It’s clear there could be more to come from him if he’s back up to the same standard he was last year and it could have just been a case of needing the run after a lengthy 238 days off.

But Inisherin won so well that day, efficiently and powerfully that he’s got to have more in him to win this too and be a top level 6f sprinter.

Botanical

Haunted Dream has been very consistent this season including a stint in Doha in January and February, but more so in Britain with two close efforts at Epsom and Royal Ascot.

But Botanical who has been unsuited by firmer ground so far yet still won convincingly here in May on good ground.

There was definitely something more amiss at Royal Ascot when he was 15th of 15 with a lot of reappearing rivals here, especially as he was 11/4 joint favourite then and now comes in as a great each-way price.

That’s got to be value considering and if he’s back in form should be tough to beat back on ground with a bit of juice.

He won at Hamilton by six lengths to Mr Professor so he’s still got form being boosted and went well on return to this season.

Bolster

There’s chances from Sonny Liston who was incredibly impressive here at Royal Ascot last month to finish just a head away from the win when carrying top-weight in a field of 29.

He started this season with a convincing win over Metal Merchant, also while carrying top-weight and warrants a look in here.

However, Bolster’s two wins this season have all worked out well and if he can build on that he’s got an 11/1 payout which is well worth backing each-way for a potentially big chunk of profit.

The Karl Burke-trained four-year-old was only beaten this season when heading to the Curragh late last month and is set to thrive on the good to soft here.
