Robin Goodfellow's racing tips: Best bets for Saturday, July 19
Mail Sport's racing expert Robin Goodfellow delivers his tips for Saturday's meetings at Market Rasen, Doncaster, Newmarket, Haydock, Cartmel, Newbury and Ripon. It was 2019 when a three-year-old last won the Steventon Stakes (1.50 Newbury) but RASHABAR (NAP) can buck the trend when he drops down in class. He landed last season's Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot as an 80-1 outsider and since then he has featured in Group One contests won by Whistlejacket, Camille Pissarro and Field Of Gold. This step up in trip to 1m2f should suit him at a track where he finished second in the Greenham Stakes on his reappearance this season. In the Summer Plate (3.12 Market Rasen), last year's winner SURE TOUCH (NB) holds strong claims of a repeat success. A neck winner in 2024 from Soul Icon, now rated 7lb higher, Sure Touch runs here off a 1lb lower mark under Sean Bowen. Cheekpieces are on for the first time and he looks the one to beat.

He has a good draw for this return to the Curragh. 2.57 NEWBURY: ELITE STATUS (NAP) is unbeaten in two starts over today's course and distance, including a victory in this race last year. He is dropping down in class today. 8.15 DONCASTER: YANIFER, who has solid form in a higher class, ran well to finish second at York last time out. He can go one better today and record a second course-and-distance win.

Rashabar workout could help make Classic plans clearer
A decision on whether Rashabar will be targeted at the Betfred 2000 Guineas or the French equivalent will be delayed until after a crucial workout later this week. A shock 80-1 winner of the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, Brian Meehan's colt went on to suffer successive narrow defeats at Group One level in the Prix Morny at Deauville and Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at ParisLongchamp. Meehan warned his charge would improve for the run on his return to action in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury earlier this month and was therefore delighted with his performance in finishing second to Andrew Balding's Jonquil, who appears bound for the French Guineas. A rematch could be on the cards in Paris next month, but Meehan is not ruling out the possibility of keeping Rashabar on home soil for the first colts' Classic of the season on the Rowley Mile. 'He's going to work this week, so we'll see where that takes us,' said the Manton handler. 'The run at Newbury was just what I wanted and I was very happy with it, so we'll work him this week and make some sort of decision then.' Whether Rashabar runs at Newmarket or ParisLongchamp he will be stepping up to a mile for the first time, but Meehan is unconcerned, adding: 'A mile was never going to be a problem.'
