Race 1 · 1:50 (UK) · Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap Stakes

Quai De Bethune 10/1

Lightly raced and only ~3lb above his last winning mark, this progressive Wathnan colt is the well-handicapped pick against a favourite with no standout form; James Doyle stays aboard.

Backup: Wave Rider (11/1)

Race 2 · 2:25 (UK) · Coral Vintage Stakes (Group 2)

Al Hudaiba 15/8

Backup: Trawlerman (15/8)

Race 5 · 4:10 (UK) · Coral Rewards Shaker Handicap Stakes

Backup: Lexington Blitz (8/1)

Race 6 · 4:45 (UK) · British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes (Colts And Geldings Only)

Launch Sequence 7/2
