13.45 William Hill Epic Boost British EBF Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Fillies’ And Mares’ Listed)

A chance is taken on WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY, who has placed several times at the highest level and has Group 2-winning form in her back catalogue. She would have needed her comeback run and take a huge step forward by hopefully showing her true colours.

Tips: WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY

14.20 William Hill Silver Bowl Handicap (Heritage Handicap)

PRINCLING has improved with each start and made a successful reappearance at Wetherby last time out. Off an opening mark of 87, it would come as no surprise to see him bang in the mix for his in-form handler. I like his claims.

Tips: PRINCLING

14.58 William Hill Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2)

The Clive Cox-trained COPPULL can go well in the Sandy Lane. A winner of three of his six starts, I liked his seasonal reappearance success at Ascot in the Commonwealth Cup Trial and more is surely to come.

Tips: COPPULL

15.30 William Hill Temple Stakes (Group 2)

ASFOORA has multiple Group 1 wins under her belt and should be all-the-better from her comeback run at Newmarket. Last year’s Nunthorpe winner gets on really well with Oisin Murphy and will get her favoured ground this weekend.

Tips: ASFOORA

16.05 William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap

GOLSPIE is proving largely consistent and ran a good race when last seen to finish second at Doncaster. Off only a pound higher mark, this might be the time he returns the winners enclosure. I think he’s a solid option to at least make the frame.

Tips: GOLSPIE

16.40 William Hill Price Boosts Every Day Handicap

CENTRAL COMMAND appreciated the step up in trip in a first-time visor when scoring on handicap debut at Newcastle and there’s no reason why he can’t translate that form to the turf with plenty more to come. He can defy the 7lb higher mark.
