ITV Sunday Preview

The first race on ITV is the Carnarvon Listed Stakes over six furlongs and we fancy the Kevin Ryan trained Repartee to land the event.

The three year old had all four starts as a youngster and on debut at York bolted up, since then he has placed in big fielded races.

He should mature for being a year older and having shown how well he goes fresh he might be worth a punt especially if the ground stays quick.

The Listed Empress Fillies' Stakes sees a very smart field of young horses head to post and Undertake for Roger Varian looks a stand out candidate.

The filly has been seen on a racecourse twice and she took to the task very well winning at Lingfield over six furlongs on debut.

She then headed to Royal Ascot in the Grade Three Albany Stakes and was a smart fourth just being outclassed by the winner but bunched in the finish.

Roger Varian has been in decent form so far this season and with this juvenile dropping in class she could be dangerous if not minding the quick turn around.

The Listed contests come thick and fast on Sunday and in the Midsummer Stakes Pogo for trainer Charles Hills looks to have a huge chance at a nice price.

The four year old colt has made some big progression this season finishing second on his seasonal debut at Newmarket and then coming on for that in a big way when finishing a staying on third in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot.

The way the horse stayed on over the stiff mile was very impressive and he looks massively overpriced in this field going over the same distance again.

The Class 2 Betway Handicap sees just four runners head to post that all share a similar level of ability but the Charles Hills' Buhturi could have that extra bit needed to land this contest.

The three year old was a modest two year old winning on his second start over six furlongs at Haydock but since then finding it hard to go close again.

He seems to have matured as a three year old finishing second on his seasonal debut at Haydock behind a nice horse for Tom Dascombe and he should build on that today.

The final race from Windsor on ITV is the Class 2 Handicap over a mile and Jean Baptiste for Sir Michael Stoute should go well.

The three year old gelding has shown plenty of ability on all four of his starts with two nice seconds as a juvenile on the all weather.

He made his seasonal return at the start of June at Chelmsford and stayed on for a decent third but now having that run under his belt he should improve on that performance.

Another small fielded event at Newmarket in a Class 2 handicap shows off five horses that are very tightly grouped in the market.

Marco Botti has a big chance with Wait Forever with the five year old being fairly consistent in his career with him doing most his racing in Meydan.

He made his first start of the season at Newmarket over a mile and finished a decent third behind two smart horses that have both ran well since.

looks the pick on that form.

The first Group race on the Sunday show on ITV is the Greenland Stakes over six furlongs at the Curragh and Speak In Colours for Joseph O'Brien looks overpriced.

The five year old has performed to a decent standard in tougher races than this and having won on both soft and good ground at the Curragh it gives him a big advantage.

He is a very pacy horse that in the past has performed best over six and seven furlongs but has done his best work at this trip finishing a good fifth in the Group One Diamond Jubilee Stakes last time out which in form sets the standard.

The final race from Newmarket on ITV comes Listed Fred Archer Stakes over 1 mile 4 furlongs and First In Line for John Gosden will be tough to beat if running to form.

The four year old colt burst onto the scene last season when placing behind Hamish in the Melrose handicap at York and finishing another good second in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket.

Since those runs he has won at Chelmsford and on his seasonal return at Newmarket he was a smart third and he should certainly come on for that run.

The feature race of the day at the Curragh is the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes over 1 mile 2 furlongs and Magical is back to land the spoils.

We thought we had seen the last of Magical at Ascot on Champions Day when she landed the Group One event as she was set for retirement, but in a change of events she is back for another season, this time as a five year old.

Magical on ratings and form alone should beat this field with ease, being a four time Group One winner and having gone well fresh before justifies her favouritism.
