There is some cracking racing up and down the country on both the level and over the sticks with the biggest pot coming in the Weatherbys Super Sprint (3.45) at Newbury and Excessable is preferred to the likes of Great Page and Belvoir Bay.

The selection hosed in on his debut but then was beaten by a neck against Lydia’s Place at Beverley when to be fair he was giving lumps of weight away to the winner.

He was also slowly away on that occasion and if kicking off on terms he should take plenty of a beating here.

Earlier on, Consort looks a good thing for the Listed Steventon Stakes at 2.35 under Frankie.

Of course he was taking on the very best in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot but had to make his own running that day and was unable to quicken from the front.

Even over that searching mile he found things happening way too quickly and back on this more galloping track and up to 10 furlongs, the son of Lope De Vega looks sure to go close here if resuming his upward profile before being raised back up in class.

At Newmarket, Arabian Comet is a filly I really like and the make-up of the Aphrodite Stakes looks perfect for her with plenty of rivals that like to be at the sharp end in the meat of the contest.

That is perfect for this four-year-old as she sees out the 12 furlongs particularly well and is taken to outstay her rivals up the final climb for Pat Cosgrave.

The Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh can go to the progressive Aidan O’Brien charge Words who must be one of the biggest three-year-old fillies in training.

She took her time to get the hang of things in the Munster Oaks but once she found her stride she readily saw off Carla Blanca.

There should be a bundle of improvement to come from her and she is preferred to the likes of Curvy, Covert Love and Oaks heroine Qualify.

Back on the mainland and I have a strong fancy for Racing History in the 4.10 at Chester.

He simply hacked up in a maiden at Haydock Park at the backend of May and is made for this step up to a mile-and-a-quarter and an opening handicap mark of 88 looks fair enough.

The Richard Fahey-trained Arcano Gold could be his biggest danger in receipt of 4lbs from the selection after he stayed on in eye-catching fashion at York last time out.

It’s a huge day of racing at Market Rasen starting with the Summer Hurdle at 2.55.

I am a big fan of Regulation but I just wonder if the recent rain may have blunted his chance as he does need it quick and I prefer Manhattan Swing running really well on the flat.

He needs an out and out a gallop over hurdles and this has been his aim for some time.

Half an hour later the Summer Plate Handicap Chase looks just as tricky and bottom weigh Greenlaw could go close here off his new mark as long as he doesn’t race too keenly.

Charlie Longsdon’s charge looks the main danger to Conquisto. Brian Ellison’s charge finally showed some signs of a return to form last backend when fourth to Presenting Junior at Ayr.

That was off 143, 7lbs lower than his last winning mark, and less his rider’s allowance here he gets to run off 137.

Good ground and a fast pace are perfect and he gets the nod over last year’s winner It’s a Gimme and David Pipe’s Dell’ Arca.
