Who To Follow At Newbury On Saturday - 20/05/23

Charlie Appleby sends a strong team to Newbury on Saturday starting in the opener with even money favourite Noble Style who drops to 6f and should be a class above these.

In the Group Three Al Rayyan Stakes he then fields the favourite again with Yibir and also Kemari is in there looking for place money.

Appleby is looking to land the London Gold Cup handicap aswell with Bold Act the top weight rated 103 and having finished fifth but landing a four timer before that, he will want to get back on track.

The Godolphin handler has the favourite in the feature race of the afternoon with Modern Games looking to land his first Group One on home soil having done it in France, Canada and America.

His final runner of the afternoon comes in the Listed Haras De Bouquetot Fillies' Trial Stakes with Queen Of Fairies looking to get back to form.

Appleby heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 29% for the last two weeks, managing to land nine winners from his 31 runners.

Frankie Dettori is in hot form on what will be his final season as a jockey landing races like the 2000 Guineas, Chester Vase, Musidora Stakes and Middleton Stakes already this season and on Saturday at Newbury he has a handful of nice rides.

His first ride of the afternoon comes in the Group Three Al Rayyan Stakes with Haskoy looking to make it three wins from four.

In Group One Lockinge Stakes Dettori jumps on Laurel for John & Thady Gosden with the four year old filly being the one in the field who we don't know how good she is.

Frankie then rides in the BetVictor Handicap on Unforgotten who needs to bounce back to form but was flying before his last run.

Finally, Dettori then gets the mount on Inner Space who blew out in the Nell Gwyn but off the back of her debut can come good again.

The experienced rider heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 33% for the last two weeks, with three wins from nine rides.
