Newmarket Win 6 Preview | 11th July

13.50 Bahrain Trophy Stakes (Group 3)

ANCIENT WISDOM has yet to replicate his two-year-old form so far this season, but last season’s Group 1 winner at Doncaster should have the measure of these if seeing out the step up in trip. SPACE LEGEND is the obvious danger and is the backup choice.

Tips: Ancient Wisdom, Space Legend

14.25 Kingdom Of Bahrain July Stakes (Group 2)

ELECTROLYTE impressed when winning on debut at Ayr and went close to winning the Coventry Stakes last time out. With more to come, Archie Watson’s charge can go one place better. AIN’T NOBODY is unbeaten in two starts and is feared most on the back of his Windsor Castle Stakes success.

Tips: Electrolyte, Ain’t Nobody

15.00 Bet Boost At bet365 Handicap (Heritage Handicap)

THUNDER BLUE has performed very well at the last two Royal Ascot meetings, including when finishing fifth in last year’s Norfolk Stakes. He was also fourth in a Group 2 race on this card twelve months ago. I think he’s a serious player off a mark of 88, while IMPERIAL GUARD should have more to come after shaping well in both starts on the turf and could make an impact off a light weight.

Tips: Thunder Blue, Imperial Guard

15.35 Princess Of Wales’s Stakes (Sponsored By The Kingdom Of Bahrain) (Group 2)

ARREST was behind HAMISH on his return at Newbury, but he’s slowly coming to the boil after finishing second at Chester last time out and has been kept fresh for this race. He is the biggest danger to the favourite with the slower ground likely to suit. The latter only found one too good in the Coronation Cup last time out and must be respected.

Tips: Arrest, Hamish

16.10 British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes

MISS FASCINATOR is just about the one to beat based on her second over C&D on debut and could use that vital experience to open her account here. VALENTIA ISLAND wasn’t far behind the former when she was fifth on her debut and cannot be ruled out with improvement potentially on the cards.

Tips: Miss Fascinator, Valentia Island 

16.45 Edmondson Hall Solicitors Sir Henry Cecil Stakes (Listed)

LEAD ARTIST clocked a good figure when scoring with plenty in hand at York, and being open to significant improvement, I can see him improving past most of these. He can justify favouritism, but the unbeaten SOCIALITE is worth his place in the field after winning both of his outings and may emerge as a serious contender.

Tips: Lead Artist, Socialite
