DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2022: HIGHBANK (IRE) 2 9 7 Jack Mitchell 4-1 (Charlie Appleby) 8 ran

Charlie Appleby has won the last 3 runnings of this maiden (two of them with newcomers) so the eye is drawn to Dubawi-colt AABLAN, whose entry in the Group 2 Champagne at Doncaster later in the season suggests he’s been giving the right signals at home. Magsood ought to build on his promising debut third at Kempton, while Whiskey Pete and Bellum Justum are other newcomers who look the part on breeding.

As a leading distributor of horse feed, bedding and supplements in the greater GCC area, I am once again immensely proud to support the Jockey Club at Newmarket Racecourses for the 2023 season.

Newmarket is credited as being where thoroughbred racing first started which is why so many from every corner of the world assemble and appreciate The Rowley Mile and The July Course.

As ever, the enthusiasm of Sophie Able and her team at Newmarket translates into a top class service for Owners, Trainers, Jockeys and Stable Staff and for that we are deeply grateful.

I would like to wish all those visiting Newmarket throughout the 2023 season, the very best of luck.

Have a wonderful day at the races today.
