SEE THE FIRE (2.25 Sandown, nap)
Can burn it up in the Gordon Richards Stakes. Andrew Balding’s daughter of Sea The Stars should be better than ever this season despite doing really well as a three-year-old. She went close in a quartet of Group 1 contests, finishing second in the Nassau at Glorious Goodwood and going well in the Sun Chariot before ending the campaign with a creditable effort in the Champion Stakes at Ascot. Balding dropped her out of the highest grade just once and that saw her land a comfortable win in the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York in August. That was all the better because she showed good pace when coming from out the back. This 1m2f trip is ideal and she won’t mind if there’s a bit of juice in the ground. This is a decent contest with the classy Almaqam and Winter Derby winner Royal Champion lining up but Oisin Murphy’s mount can get the job done.
FAIRLAWN FLYER (2.05 Perth, nb)
Can take the marathon Highland National in front of the ITV cameras. He looks ideal for this stamina test after getting up right on the line at Huntingdon last time. He wasn’t stopping at the end of 3m5f at Market Rasen two runs ago when winning with plenty pf petrol left in the tank. He’s a solid jumper with more to come. The Bowens can reap the rewards after their long journey from south Wales.
DANCING GEMINI (3.00 Sandown, treble)
Clocked a blistering time when winning the Listed Doncaster Mile on comeback last month. He was quicker than last year’s winner Charyn who went on to lift this prize.
