Jamie Moore's Diary - jockey talks Goshen and Ascot rides

NEWMARKET

Race 1 – AABLAN 4/1

AABLAN showed plenty of guts to win the Solario Stakes, an attitude that should stand him in good stead stepping up to a mile in the Royal Lodge Stakes.

Remarkably Charlie Appleby has yet to win this mile event, but judged on his two seven-furlong wins to date, Aablan looks ready to step up to a mile.

He still looked green at Sandown, racing a bit keenly before knuckling down well to top Inishfallen by a neck on the line, with rider James Doyle sure a mile on decent conditions would be well within his remit.

Race 2 – SACRED ANGEL 5/1

SACRED ANGEL might be a value call in the Cheveley Park Stakes.
A Newmarket maiden winner on her second start, she made a seamless leap to Group Three company in the Princess Margaret at Ascot before heading on to Deauville, where her owner Nurlan Bizakov sponsored the card.

She fared best of the horses that raced to the fore, coming home a near five-length fourth in very soft ground.

Race 3 – RIVER TIBER 2/1

RIVER TIBER has to reverse Prix Morny form with Vandeek in the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes but it would not be the first time an Aidan O’Brien runner has bounced back to form in fine fashion this season.

This Wootton Bassett colt looked a potential world beater when hosing up by 10 lengths on debut, adding a Naas win next time before prevailing by just a neck in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.

River Tiber was then off the track until the middle of August, when he headed to Deauville for the Morny.

However, O’Brien was up front in stressing he had missed some work in the lead up to the race and Ryan Moore was not too hard on him when his chance of victory had gone. Even then he was only beaten two and a quarter lengths in third on ground much deeper than ideal.

With a full build-up and a quicker surface, River Tiber can roar back to form.

Race 4 – GREEK ORDER 4/1

The bet365 Cambridgeshire is once again a tricky puzzle, with 35 runners for the nine-furlong cavalry charge down the Newmarket straight.

GREEK ORDER heads the market and rightfully so after winning each of his last two starts, with his recent four-and-a-half-length Newbury verdict impressing.

The handicapper has subsequently had his say, but an increased mark of 95 might not yet have his measure, while Zozimus appeals at much longer odds for a place.

CHESTER

Race 2 – BAEZ 5/1

BAEZ maintains excellent winning form bidding for a five-timer following a neck victory in a two mile handicap here and has a top chance up in class.

Emiyn found success at this venue two starts back in July on soft ground. The six-year-old won this race last year and is respected.

Tashkhan is a smart stayer who posted a good third in the Group 3 Silver Cup at York three runs ago and, like It’s Good To Laugh, shouldn’t be dismissed.

HAYDOCK

Race 2 – MANILA SCOUSE 3/1

MANILA SCOUSE was a very good third attempting a competitive nineteen-runner handicap at York last time.

Maintained better form since hitting current handicap mark and can break through for a success.

Silky Wilkie carries top weight and revisits handicap company following some fair efforts in Listed contests.

Was only beaten second at Beverley two back in a Listed event and could be a contender here.

Woolhampton and Proverb hold each-way claims.
