14:25, York - Sun Goddess to stamp her class in valuable sales race

Sun Goddess could have been handed a more beneficial draw but Aidan O'Brien's Phoenix Stakes heroine is a clear standout on form and should still prove capable of landing this valuable prize.  

A Timeform 'Horse In Focus', the Sioux Nation filly is 8 lb clear on weight-adjusted ratings and has looked on a real roll since finding just one too good in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

A cheap purchase considering how much Group 1 winners from Ballydoyle usually cost, this looks a good bit of placing.


15:00, York - Unexposed Centigrade to complete hat-trick

Preference is for Centigrade, who beat a couple of now smart types on his second start at two and returned from a lengthy absence with an impressive victory at Southwell.  

The Ralph Beckett-trained 'Horse In Focus' was off for 20 months before his Southwell win, which makes it all the more impressive, and he has been given a couple of months to get over those exertions.

Assuming he handles this ground, which will be the fastest he has encountered, he can make a winning handicap debut at the main expense of last year's winner of the race Bullet Point.


16:10, York - Three-timer also within reach for top-rated Morrophore

A case can be made for quite a few of these, but Morrophore has looked a pattern-class performer in the making, winning three of her five handicap starts, so John & Thady Gosden's five-year-old can take this step up in class in her stride on reappearance.

Three of the last five renewals have gone to older horses, and this well-bred mare could easily have headed to the paddocks after her win at Lingfield in January where she picked up the 'Horse In Focus' flag.

It looks significant that she's been kept in training, and she could prove hard to beat here assuming the course doesn't receive too much rain.
