The Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes looks a marvellous race on Saturday. With competitors from England, Ireland, France, Australia and New Zealand it is a truly international heat.

The Hughie Morrison-trained Sakhees Secret looks to be the home side´s best chance. When winning the July Cup at Newmarket he had Marchand D´Or and Dandy Man behind.

The more likely Irish runners are the Aidan O´Brien-trained Astronomer Royal and US Ranger neither of which particularly appeal as sprinters.

The New Zealand mare Seachange has top class form at home but will that be good enough for one of the season´s top furlong sprints?

Takeover Target from Australia ran a fine race on Tuesday in the King´s Stand when second to Equiano from Spain. He looks sure to make a bold bid to improve on last year´s second in this race.

From France the Freddie Head-trained Marchand D´Or appeals as the likely winner. In his first race of the season he beat Equiano over 5f at Chantilly. Having won the Gr 1 Prix Maurice De Gheest over 6.5f twice he will be well suited by Saturday´s 6f.

It is also worth noting that Equiano was receiving 13lbs at Chantilly whereas Takeover Target on Tuesday was only conceding 6lbs.

In the Wokingham two horses that appeal are last year´s runner-up Intrepid Jack and also Lipocco.

The Ryan Moore-ridden Intrepid Jack has clearly been trained for this race. In his first run since August he just failed to collar Fyodor over an inadequate 5f at Haydock.

Lipocco also put in a sterling first run of the season when a close 2nd at Windsor. Now ridden by Seb Sanders he should also be involved.

On Friday in the Albany Stakes Cuis Ghaire for Jim Bolger catches the eye. The daughter of Galileo made a winning debut at Naas in May and followed up on the same track on June 2 in scintillating style.

Winning by 3.5l she bettered the standard for the distance by a full 2 seconds, a fantastic effort from a 2-y-o.

In the King Edward VII Stakes the John Gosden-trained Bronze Cannon is worth an interest. The trainer won this race with Plea Bargain three years ago.

Bronze Cannon´s win over Dr Fremantle on his first run of the season was made to look particularly exciting in light of the runner-up´s 4th in the Derby.

In his next race, despite a 10lb rise in the weights, he won very easily. He is clearly very progressive and should be well suited by the step up in distance.

In the Coronation Stakes (Gr 1 fillies) the French-trained Modern Look is worth considering especially if there is rain. She ran a solid race when 4th in the 1,000 Guineas but was impressive when easily winning a Gr 2 at Chantilly on June 1.

Mark Johnston - who has a great record at the Royal Meeting - may have the answer to the Queen´s Vase run over 2m. His runner Captain Webb won comfortably at Leicester and Brighton before disappointing at Sandown.

His last run at Hamilton over 1m 3f was eye-catching and the way he finished strongly suggests he is going to be well suited by the step up to 2m.

The tote will be launching its first new bet since the totescoop6 at this year’s Royal Ascot with the introduction of the toteswinger.   The bet, which is available on races of six or more runners, asks players to pick two hoses to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any order.  The bet then declares three dividends, 1st and 2nd, 1st and 3rd and 2nd and 3rd .

David Craven, totepool Managing Director commented, “This is the first new bet that the tote has developed from scratch since the totescoop6 in 1999 and we are very excited about bringing it to the UK betting public.  We believe that it will have a wide appeal from novices, who are just looking for a flutter that offers a good chance of a return, through to the experienced bettors who may be taking a view in a particular race.”

Craven added, “The swinger bet is popular overseas, most notably in South Africa, and this will also allow us to co-mingle with our international partners which will help liquidity from launch.”

The toteswinger will be available daily at every race meeting on every racecourse in the UK.  Customers will also be able to place bets through all totesport shops, telephone and internet.  The bet will also be available in William Hill betting shops as well as online partners including Coral, Betfair, and Bet365. Coral betting shops and Blue Square will be also be joining shortly after launch

The toteswinger will have a deduction rate of 26% which will now also be the deduction rate for the toteexacta and totetrifecta (from 24% and 29% respectively.)

The St James´s Palace Stakes on Tuesday will see a battle between the winner of the English and Irish 2000 Guineas Henrythenavigator and Falco - the winner of the French equivalent.

Falco is bidding to become the first French trained colt since 1999 to win this race. His trainer Carlos Laffon-Parias feels that he is a very progressive colt but this is by no means a two horse race.

The Henry Cecil-trained Twice Over looked a tough nut when winning the Craven. Cecil thought he was more of a staying type and ran him in the Dante instead of the Guineas where stamina ran out. Returned to a mile he is no back number and there would certainly be no more popular winner all week.

However Henrythenavigator looks an outstanding colt and should win.

In the Kings Stand Stakes (now Group 1 status) the flying filly Fleeting Spirit will be a very warm order. She is by sire of the moment Invincible Spirit. If she runs her race it is very difficult to see anything in the field coming close.

In the Royal Hunt Cup on Wednesday the Luca Cumani-trained Bankable is priced as if defeat is out of the question. He has shortened even further since James Fanshawe warned that his fancied runner Artimino has suffered a setback.

Bankable was impressive at Goodwood but at around 2/1 is no value. There are plenty of each-way options including Dockofthebay and Cactus Rose who are well worth an interest.
