TODAY’S TIPS

DID YOU KNOW: The Gosden team has used the British EBF 40th Anniversary Upavon Fillies' Stakes (4.30) as a springboard to Group-race glory for Journey and Fanny Logan in recent years and can do so again with Running Lion, who hasn't had the best of experiences in the English and French Oaks.

RACE ONE

Abbey's Dream and TWILIGHT DANCER are both allotted a weight-for-age allowance and, while the former has shown a good level of ability on the all-weather, the latter is the more proven on turf and Jonathan Portman's filly looks the one to side with here. The selection has improved since being stepped up to 7f and she has the scope to build on what has been a sequence of decent efforts of late.

WIN: TWILIGHT DANCER

RACE TWO

DANGER:ABBEY'SDREAM

MISTER SKETCH is built for speed on his dam's side of the pedigree and, having made a highly encouraging debut at Newbury last month, he could be hard to beat if taking a step forward here. Avoriaz is a half-brother to six winners and looks the most appealing of the newcomers, although Sedgemoor is another to note in the betting as he represents a team enjoying a solid season with their juveniles

WIN: MISTER SKETCH

RACE THREE

DANGER: AVORIAZ

This is potentially the deeper of the two divisions of this race, with Pianoforte, Flavour Maker and Ten Bob Tony all looking the part on paper, and the betting can be informative where that trio is concerned. However, FINBAR FUREY just shades preference given he is a full-brother to Pennine Hills, a 6f winner on debut as a juvenile, and Grizzel, a Grade 3-winning miler in Canada. The added bonus is his in-form yard's appealing strike-rate with their two-year-olds this season.

WIN: FINBAR FUREY

Race Four

DANGER: PIANOFORTE

ARABIAN CROWN built on his eye-catching third at Sandown in early July with a ready success at the same venue later in the month. Charlie Appleby's colt could prove tough to beat if reproducing that level of performance and gets the vote There was plenty to like about Arabic Legend's debut triumph at Newmarket last month and the Dubawi colt can't be taken lightly, while Son ran well enough in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood recently to suggest he can get involved here too.

WIN: ARABIAN CROWN

Race Five

DANGER: ARABIC LEGEND

LANDLORDTOTHESTARS appeared freshened up by a break when recording a second-placed effort at Newmarket last month and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent James Evans' gelding from going one place better. Paco's Pride has been running with credit at a similar level of late and should make her presence felt once more, while Racing Demon merits respect now returned to the C&D of his last success

WIN: LANDLORDTOTHESTARS

Race Six

DANGER:PACO'SPRIDE

RUNNING LION has scored in four of her last five outings, including when bolting up in Listed company at Newmarket on her penultimate run in May. She contested much deeper waters in France last time out and, although that looked a step too far, she is fancied to bounce back to winning form at this level. Ameynah remains unexposed and was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Valiant Stakes at Ascot last month, so she gets the danger vote ahead of State Occasion.

WIN: RUNNING LION

Race Seven

DANGER: AMEYNAH

Always Fearless recorded a staying-on success over a mile at this track last Thursday and is expected to be thereabouts if anywhere near that form. However, he does have to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that win, so it could pay to side with the improving CHEERS BABE Only narrowly denied at Lingfield earlier this month, Ian Williams' inmate likely has more to offer in the hands of William Buick Trojan Truth is another to bear in mind.

WIN: CHEERS BABE

DANGER: ALWAYS FEARLESS
