Leading Spirit who I advised to backed  yesterday ( without Legends Of War) was third, the race was a really hot maiden, a lot of horses from big stables were strongly fancied in it.  The winner Legends Of War was very impressive, he still has a fair way to go to pay back his owners Qatar Racing Limited, who bought him for 900,000 gns at the two year old breeze up sales at Newmarket. But it was a good start.   I do think that a lot of winners will come out of this race.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Weekender

Time: 7:35 Sandown

Current Odds: 9/4

This colt won well recently at Chelmsford over 14f, he should have no issue with the extra 2f today. With the excellent Frankie Dettori riding again today he can make the jump up in class, and win this Group 3 race. He is a winner (was demoted to second) going right handed at Goodwood last season.  Of rivals, Sheikzayedroad is a useful performer, even though he is 9 years old, he ran well 54 days ago at Meydan (Gp 2) and is a winner over 16f at Ascot.   Mount Moriah who I consider the main threat, and Magic Circle are both useful horses, both have had recent wins, and will be in the mix at the business end. I do advise a saver or half stake bet on Mount Moriah at 100/30(without Weekender).
