Bateel primed for Pinnacle Stakes

Last seen finding only one too good at Chantilly at the end of April in group three company, connections will take plenty of confidence from that effort, and have been biding their time for a worthwhile return. They seem to have it here. It’ll be a tough task to overturn the jolly, but she has done nothing but get better so far, and we’re happy to take a shot.

Coral traders remain unconvinced, but that’s great news if you fancy following us in, with a healthy 3/1 currently available on Bateel. That’s already been nibbled in from an opening show of 4/1, and we’re hoping it proves to be shrewd money.

Breton Rock solid value

Chief support goes in the next on the card, the competitive John of Gaunt Stakes, another grade three match up. Here we’ll be changing tactics and agreeing with our horse racing team, who have Breton Rock as the one to beat.

With nine runners expected to battle it out over seven furlongs, we have to take the clues and hints where we can get them and, on this occasion, that comes from Andrea Artzeni. The jockey has an impressive strike rate of getting favourites home in front, but he’ll need every bit of skill to see the best horse in the race score under a penalty. The selection goes as an impressive winner over course and distance, making the 5/2 easy to trust.
