Old Favourite Take Cover on the gallop to glory again

James Tate’s Invincible Army is the current favourite. James Garfield, Enjazaat, Lansky and Nebo all head up the chasing pack.

Of that five, Nebo is most intriguing. After a couple of second place finishes at Newmarket and Goodwood in July and August, he ran poorly last time out in the Gimcrack at York.

However, connections discovered the two-year-old was suffering from a throat infection after scoping.

Charles Hills has stated he’s back in fine fettle now. Ryan Moore rides on him. He’s definitely worth a punt at the current price.

Solid as a rock Desert Encounter

Formerly known as the Arc Trial, the Legacy Stakes at Newbury looks another interesting renewal.

However, Desert Encounter looks a solid bet. David Simcock’s five-year-old has been in solid form all season.

A third place in the Coral Eclipse, and a sixth in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes paves the way for another impressive showing here.

The field will be nowhere near as strong in this one. And that will mean he’ll be doing the leading, not the chasing.

If Sean Levey can keep him focused, he is value all the way.
