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. Market Rasen Robin Goodfellow 1.35 Laravie 2.05 Deploy To Spy 2.40 Castel Gandolfo 3.12 Sure Touch (nb) 3.50 Lermoos Legend 4.25 Game Beaaa 5.00 Camino Rocio Gimcrack 1.35 Laravie 2.05 Benvoy 2.40 Goblet Of Fire (nb) 3.12 Horantzau D'airy 3.50 Rocks Up Late 4.25 Bellbird 5.00 A Dublin Job NEWMARKET – 1.35 LARAVIE (nap) Doncaster Robin Goodfellow 5.15 One More Dream 5.45 Homestrait 6.15 Jesmond Dawn 6.45 Lumenbourg 7.15 Jet Black 7.45 Operation Gimcrack 8.15 Grand Traverse 8.45 Analogical Gimcrack 5.15 King's Crown 5.45 Parisian Scholar 6.15 Original Thinker 6.45 Travis 7.15 Gentle Warrior 7.45 Rock Diva 8.15 Grand Traverse 8.45 Analogical Newmarket Robin Goodfellow 4.20 Quiescent 4.55 Chorus 5.30 Leadman 6.00 Savvy Stellar 6.35 Siam Fox 7.05 Dashing Dick 7.38 Dutch Decoy Gimcrack 4.20 First Duty 4.55 Understudy 5.30 Sweet Fantastic 6.00 Arundel 6.35 Renesmee 7.05 Dashing Dick 7.38 Dutch Decoy NEWMARKET - 4.20 Quiescent (nb) Haydock Robin Goodfellow 6.25 Unplugged 6.55 King Of The Sea 7.30 You Sexy Thing 8.00 Brize Norton 8.30 Bright Times Ahead 9.00 Secret Mistral Gimcrack 6.25 Solanna 6.55 King Of The Sea 7.30 Midnight Rodeo 8.00 Kiniro 8.30 Bright Times Ahead 9.00 Alpine Girl Cartmel Robin Goodfellow 1.40 Caughtinyourtrance 2.15 Hope Hill 2.50 Bittalemon 3.22 Sea The Clouds 4.00 Cuzco Du Mathan 4.35 Jelski 5.10 Pittsburg Gimcrack 1.40 Sang Pour Sang 2.15 Jlow 2.50 Ashington 3.22 Go Go Chicago 4.00 Beny Nahar Road 4.35 Bumpy Evans 5.10 Rory's Story Newbury Robin Goodfellow 1.50 RASHABAR (nap) 2.25 Kyle Of Lochalsh 2.57 Regional 3.30 Anthelia 4.10 Glistening 4.45 Egoli 5.20 Maybe Not Gimcrack 1.50 Rashabar 2.25 Wild Waves 2.57 REGIONAL (nap) 3.30 Kamakameleon 4.10 Wujjood 4.45 Egoli 5.20 Maybe Not NORTHERNER – 2.57 REGIONAL (nap) Ripon Robin Goodfellow 2.10 Stargazed 2.45 Goyard 3.17 Ey Up Its The Boss 3.55 The Reverend 4.30 Garden Oasis 5.05 Sweet Kiss 5.38 Ideal Guest Gimcrack 2.10 Moretons 2.45 Goyard 3.17 Real Terms 3.55 Per Contra 4.30 Garden Oasis 5.05 Groundhog 5.38 Spring Corn NORTHERNER – 2.45 Goyard (nb) THE WIZARD OF ODDS By Chris Baker 2.00 CURRAGH: MOLTOPHINO beat a subsequent winner at this course two starts back and ran well to be placed in a big-field handicap last time. 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.

Alyanaabi has swift Haydock double in his sights
The Owen Burrows-trained four-year-old caught the eye as a juvenile with a second-placed run behind City Of Troy in the Dewhurst, after which he stepped up in trip throughout his three-year-old season to make up the minor placings in the 2000 Guineas, the St James's Palace and the Steventon Stakes. Gelded over the winter, he dropped to seven furlongs for a course-and-distance success in a Listed event here first time out this season and now tries Group Three company in the hands of Jim Crowley. 'Hopefully they won't get too much rain as I think he's better on top of the ground, but then he did finish second to City Of Troy in a Dewhurst on soft ground,' Burrows said. 'I don't think I would not run him because of the ground, but I don't think you will see the best of him on soft ground. 'Jim seems to be adamant this trip suits him. I can see us a bit further down the line trying him over a stiff six furlongs and Jim thinks these sort of races off a really fast pace would suit him. 'It looks a decent race with Kinross, Spycatcher and Audience in there as well so he will have to be on his game, but we've been pleased with him since he won at the track and there's nothing for him at Royal Ascot, so it makes sense to roll the dice and see how we get on.' Kinross won the race in 2021 and was narrowly beaten into third the following year, with the popular eight-year-old now returning to kick off a seventh season in training for Ralph Beckett. Jamie McCalmont, racing manager to owner Marc Chan, said: 'He's come to hand a bit quicker than the last couple of years, but he's now an eight-year-old we take every race as a bonus – let's hope he still has the same vigour and talent that he has shown in the last five years. 'Seven furlongs is probably his best trip and he has won this race and also finished third in the past. 'It's a really solid race and arguably better than the times he has run in it before – Audience is a Group One winner so it's not an egg-and-spoon race. 'It's exciting and amazing he's back, he's a warrior.' Cheveley Park Stud's Audience was an unexpected winner of the Lockinge last season and also took the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood when stepping back to seven furlongs. Two runs over a sprint trip of six furlongs proved educational as the gelding did not fire in either the British Champions Sprint or the Al Quoz Sprint, but now returning to his favoured seven, the bay looks to smooth a path back to the Lennox. 'We learned that he doesn't quite have the pace for six furlongs, which we kind of knew but it was worth taking the trip having had the invitation,' said Chris Richardson, managing director of owners Cheveley Park. 'He's back over his trip and hopefully we can get his season started with a view to going to the Lennox again.' Elsewhere in the race is Karl Burke's Spycatcher, who steps back up to seven furlongs have been campaigned exclusively over six last term, and Harry Charlton's Frankel half-brother Kikkuli.
