Racing Tips: Wind Chimes, Ripp Orf and Dream Of Dreams set for wins?

Odds, tips and preview for today’s racing

The build-up to Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe begins this afternoon, with seven live races to whet the appetite from Ascot, Newmarket and Redcar.

ITV will have coverage of the Sun Chariot Stakes, the Cumberland Lodge Stakes and the Bengough Stakes throughout the day. The Coral News Team have previewed those contests, alongside the other four, below.

Wind Chimes – 3:15 Newmarket

British-trained runners are dominating the market for the Arc. But it’s a French-saddled raider who’s favourite for Britain’s only Group 1 this afternoon.

That could be significant – with five Sun Chariot Stakes winners hailing from across the English Channel since 2009. That Wind Chimes is trained by Andre Fabre is of particular interest, given the Frenchman’s scarcity in sending runners to this country.

The three-year-old bolted up at Deauville in August before missing out by a head to Recoletos in a strongly run Group 1 contest at Longchamp last time. She has the best form in the race and can edge Laurens here.

Dream Of Dreams – 3:00 Ascot

There’s plenty to like about the chances of Dream Of Dreams in the Bengough Stakes. Sir Michael Stoute’s charge is a previous Listed winner and has placed in his three most recent starts in Group company.

The four-year-old has threatened to get his head in front on a number of occasions this term without managing to do so.
