Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Friday; Auld Alliance in the Newmarket 16:40 Compare odds and bet.
Judged on their recent meeting in a Sandown maiden, there should be little between Riposte and Auld Alliance (4:40) at Newmarket this afternoon but, given the way she finished last time, Sir Michael Stoute’s filly is just fancied to reverse form.
The half-sister to Golan and Tartan Bearer stayed on in taking fashion after looking out paced early in the straight and she remains in the Oaks. She has 1½ lengths to find with Sir Henry Cecil’s Dansili filly, who might be more at home over 1m2f.
An interesting contest, it will be a surprise if either of this pair fails to score and the local market at HQ should prove informative.
Friday’s selection:
4:40 Newmarket: Auld Alliance; 2/1 @ bet365
