Hopefully this 'second opinion' provides you with a winner or two each day, or even reinforces your own view on a particular may even convince you to back some of those horses which we feel are the "ones to fear", or have decent eachway claims. whichever is the case, we hope the information is of use to you.

SELECTIONS - For each race, we have given you who, in our view, are the likeliest winners; (1er _ THE WINNER?), as well as any runners who could run well at eachway odds; (E/W ALTERNATIVE) . Any runner from our features are shown before each race's analysis.

Malcom who beat Royaleety and Cheler when landing the Prix Georges de Talhouet-Roy (Hurdle) (Grade 2) is certain to go off as favourite, however Nickname has beaten all of them this term and rates a big danger in my view. He would need to reverse form with Royaleety who beat last time out, however you can make a case that Nickname ran below form that day and I wouldn't rule out him landing this prize.

In their absence, Green Turf, Le Chablis, Kiléfou d'Airy and Vie De Reine. They met in teh Prix Edmond Barrachin Steeple Ch (gr. 3) here in September. on that occasion Vie De Reine came out on top, beating Le Chablis by 1 1/2lengths, however it is worth noting that Le Chablis was the least experienced of these over obstacles and improved on that effort to land the Prix Orcada Steeple Ch. (gr. 3), here last month. he will improve again on this run and will his rivals plenty to think about here ... he gets the vote.

¦ .l.e. .h.o.n.g.r.e. .n.o.i.r. ¦:¬>- A fascinating clash between some of the best of France's hurdlers (minus of course Le Sauvignon and Barracouda). The main challengers are Vic Toto, Laveron and Rougénoir, who met in the Prix Carmarthen (Hurdle) (Grade 3) last month. on that occasion Vic Toto came out on top, however Laveron would probably have won bar a bad blunder at the last. He trained to recover from that lapse, but was still 2 lengths down by the winning post. That was over 4100m and over this extended trip, I would be hopeful that Laveron would reverse placings. The fly in teh ointment though is definitely San Sebastian, a decent stayer on teh flat when with John Dunlop, who won on his hurdles debut here in September. he was ninth in teh Prix Du Cadran (gr. 1) last time out at Longchamp, but should appreciate the ground and trip and would definitely be worth an eachway interest.

Success Stories

THE JULY MEETING
Thursday, July 11th 2002
2:50 Weatherbys Superlative Stakes (Listed Race) £21750 added, 2yo only, 7f, penalty £13496.60, 7 runners.
Kawagino, Magistretti, Mubeen, Celtic Sapphire, Our Teddy, and Surbiton, appear to be the horses to consider in race two. Magistretti, [who created a favourable impression when winning at Sandown on his debut] should figure strongly, however I expect (hope) that Celtic Sapphire, and Surbiton, fight this out. Celtic Sapphire, has run well on both start thus far, most recently when staying on really well in the final quarter mile to get within 1/2Length of Helm Bank in the Chesham Stakes at the Royal Meeting. She should go well, however Surbiton, - who met with severe interference in the Coventry Stakes last time out - is taken to atone for that unlucky run.
Surbiton obliged at 16/1.

EPSOM
Friday, June 7th 2002
KAZZIA (GER) - It is easy to understand how it was possible for Kazzia to go into this season's 1000 Guineas unsupported as punters often underestimate the strength of foreign form, particularly that show in Germany or Italy. The warning signs arguably could have gone off in our head at the beginning of the year, as you would have to ask why Godolphin with all their riches would buy a filly who won an ordinary 7f maiden at Hoppegarten before landing a Group 3 at San Siro last October. We now know that to be one of their wisest purchases as this daughter of Zinaad managed to withhold the late thrust of Snowfire to land the 1000 Guineas, despite that race being run at a virtual crawl. She is bred to get further and is proven on the ground...major chance!!! 
Kazzia obliges at odds of 100/30

THE DERBY 2001
"Dilshaan won the Dante in good style and is my preference from this camp purely in that tactics looks to be more straightforward for him and he looks assured to stay based on York. He also has the jockey for the big occasion on board. However, for the selection I will choose Galileo. Unbeaten and untested so far his best performance came last time and the form has already been devalued. Despite this it is the potential this one holds which fires my imagination and there seems an heir of confidence in the Irish camp. Unlike Hills and Stoute he is the sole representative from the 6 entries that O'Brien left in at the recent declaration stage. There are always question marks about Saddlers Well's stock and the 12F trip but Imagine went some way to putting that theory to bed yesterday. It also goes without saying that the stable are in simply super form which is another plus. I take him to beat Dilshaan and Putra Sandhurst. Golan (I think) will come full of running but not get home"
