DOUBLE: Angel's Pursuit and Saharan Royal

Angel's Pursuit is considered much better than his Royal Ascot placing and deserves another chance in the Foundation Developments Dragon Stakes at Sandown.

One of a pair of Listed races on an interesting pre-Coral-Eclipse card, some sharp two-year-olds will be burning it up the five-furlong course in the middle of the Esher venue.

That particular strip of ground provides rich pickings for the Richard Hannon team, who were very sweet on this half-brother to Group One winner Dark Angel after his encouraging debut victory at Newmarket.

Sent off favourite for the Windsor Castle Stakes, they will have expected better than an eighth-place finish to Strike The Tiger, although Angel's Pursuit was slowly away and made quite steady headway towards the end.

Still a green enough sort, he should be sharper for this and have the requisite improvement in him to score.

The other Listed event, the Helical Bar Gala Stakes, looks at the mercy of Sir Michael Stoute's Confront, who will enjoy the step up to 10 furlongs after his second to Mac Love in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom.

He was not beaten that far on Derby day and was subsequently found to have lost a shoe so this looks a fine opportunity to resume winning ways.

The most interesting horse running at Doncaster is Plymouth Rock in the Crownhotel-bawtry.com Handicap.

Owned in partnership by the Coolmore clan, Jeremy Noseda's colt exuded authority in his maiden victory at Windsor and ought to go a lot further than the ordinary handicappers who are lining up against him.

They will be packing them in at Beverley's evening meeting and it looks a bit of a punting graveyard at this stage.

Richard Fahey had his smart filly Rose Blossom entered in the EBF William Jackson Bakery Novice Stakes earlier in the week and it looks significant that he chooses to rely upon On The Bounty instead.

The form of his Doncaster maiden win does not amount to much but he won with a bit in hand and has more scope than most of his rivals

The scene will be similar across the M62 at Haydock, where Tropical Bachelor can send racegoers home with a bit of holiday money in the kitty by landing the Balfour Beatty Handicap.

Tim Pitt does not have the equine resources he once did but this front-running sort was a respectable second here last time and everything points to another big run.

The small stable of Taffy Salaman is boasting a quite outrageous strike-rate at the moment and Saharan Royal makes appeal in the "Come Shopping At Castlepoint" Bournemouth Fillies' Handicap at Salisbury.

Only lightly-raced at two, she showed promise in her first couple of starts before coming unstuck against a hot Sir Mark Prescott favourite when trying different tactics on her final outing at Brighton.

Although this is her reappearance, her trainer is in such form it is worth taking a chance as his winners are coming like London buses.

Feelin Foxy did well to make all the running at Lingfield last time and is taken to defy top-weight in Warwick's Blue Square Fillies' Handicap.
