10.43 Saratoga - Listed winner Studlydoright headlines the G1 Hopeful Stakes

Listed wnner Studlydoright headlines the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes (10.43).

The two-year-old won a Listed contest on debut and managed to follow that up when finishing second in a Grade 3 at the course but he is stepping up in distance. He looks the one to beat on that form.

Joel Rasario gets the leg up on Incentive Pay, who was a recent winner at Saratoga and takes the step up in trip today. He has shown plenty of potential.

Ferocious was a wide margin winner last time and completes the shortlist for trainer Gustavo Delgado.

5.30 Windsor - Shrimp Shady looks to go one better

Last time out second Shrimp Shady features in the British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (5.30).

Andrew Balding's Shrimp Shady, who is half-brother to Scampi, rates as a danger if he can build on his second on debut at Kempton.

Sir Oliver is well handicapped on his best form after struggling this season. He has won over this course and if he returns to that mindset could hit the frame.
