Leg #1 15:20, Chester -- Lifeplan 5/23.50 (Top 2)
Recent Group Two winner, Lifeplan, is still completely unexposed and on an upward trajectory, after two impressive wins. The Declan Carroll-trained youngster is the standout pick on official ratings -- being at least 4lb ahead of the next in at the weights.
If the Kodi Bear colt replicates his last victory, the other runners need to raise their game to compete, and the selection has shown enough pace to suggest this circuit won't inconvenience him.
Leg #2 15:40, Deauville -- Blue Bolt @ 4/51.80
The prestigious G1 Prix Rothschild can go to the ever improving daughter of Blue Point -- Blue Bolt -- who aims to land a notable trio of Group prizes, following a Group Two win at Royal Ascot, prior to a Group One success at Newmarket last time.
Jockey Colin Keane noted that she is up there with the best he has ridden, which is some statement, considering he rode Kalpana to an epic victory in last weekend's G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. Blue Bolt has plenty in hand, over her rivals, to land this, if able to repeat any of her three wins this season.
Leg #3 15:52, Chester -- Dance In The Storm to Place 5/23.50
I'm hopeful that Dance In The Storm can bounce back from a modest showing in a strong Royal Ascot handicap, returning to the scene of her biggest career win. The Night Of Thunder filly won over track and trip three runs ago, from a wide draw.
That was a clear best and she could have more to offer, as a largely progressive four-year-old. I'm confident of a bold showing, with Oisin Murphy continuing in excellent form.
Leg #4 16:30, Galway -- Seaxburh to Place 15/82.88
Seaxburh is expected to at least deliver a placing, with the selection having plenty of racing experience over his rivals. The Saxon Warrior filly has finished second in back-to-back maidens over this distance, and she sets a decent standard.
Stall one should prove to be a good position, and with her trainer in excellent form, I expect her to take plenty of catching.
