ITV Racing Preview: Can Fivethousandtoone defy the odds in Mill Reef Stakes?

Competition will be strong in the shape of Lazuli, who comfortably took a Listed event at Sandown in June. He’s underperformed slightly in the two runs since but could recover here.

Elsewhere, Wise Words could rediscover her 2019 performances that produced three wins. She came fourth in a 5f Listed race at Doncaster 10 days ago.

15:05 Ayr

Umm Kulthum looks the one to beat after following up a debut win with a third-place finish in the Lowther Stakes at York.

One to watch could be Scarlet Bear, who has good credentials despite not yet tasting victory. The two-year-old finished third in the Dick Poole Fillies’ Stakes at Salisbury and could step up here.

Meanwhile, Illykato was a place behind Scarlet Bear at Salisbury and will look to improve here.

15:25 Newbury

Fivethousandtoone has enjoyed a promising start to his career, following up a second-place finish on his debut at Windsor with a resounding victory at Newcastle just over two weeks ago. He’s certainly one to watch.

But Rhythm Master will be a strong contender. P. J. McDonald’s ride impressed on debut at Haydock before finishing third in Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last month.

Another one in the mix could be Bahrain Pride, who edged Fivethousandtoone on debut. He stepped up in class to claim his second win in as many races in a Listed event at Ripon.
