COMMISSIONING is hard to oppose as she steps up to the top level for the bet365 Fillies’ Mile (3.35) at Newmarket today.
John and Thady Gosden’s daughter of Kingman followed a debut win at Newmarket’s July Course with a cosy Group 2 Rockfel Stakes score over the last seven furlongs of the Rowley Mile, and has plenty more to offer.
After a return to winning form at Newbury three weeks ago, SACRED gets the vote to follow up in the Group 2 Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards Challenge Stakes (3.00).
Sacred’s trainer William Haggas saddles favourite La Yakel in the bet365 Old Rowley Cup (4.10), but preference is for top weight MAKSUD .
She made the perfect start to her career at the July Course in August, and LOSE YOURSELF takes the eye in the Group 3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes (2.25).
The trip from Keith Dalgleish’s Lanarkshire yard should prove worthwhile for PRINCE OF PILLO in the Group 3 Newmarket Academy Godolphin Beacon Project Cornwallis Stakes (1.50).
At York, AIMERIC is fancied to rack up a third win from his last four starts by landing the William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (3.50).
The consistent EMPIRESTATEOFMIND should give a good account in the William Hill Autumn Mile Handicap (2.40), while STREETS OF GOLD is taken to defend his unbeaten record in the British EBF £100,000 2YO Series Final (3.15).
At Chepstow, QUID PRO QUO rates a worthy favourite for the Grade 2 Unibet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle (2.10) and THE MIGHTY DON looks well treated in the Professor Caroline Tisdall Supports Heroic Jumpers Veterans’ Handicap Chase (1.35).
