JET FORCE is rested but also clearly talented and can race fresh and race well – include. ROLAND GARROS can be forgiven for the last run and is a horse with ability – each way claims. SCOTTISH KISS has claims and is a must for the quartet.

Race Summary: RULE OF THUMB boasts solid and consistent form, is never far adrift the action and with the weight off, will have a sparkling winning chance. WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN is taking time for the next win but showed last time that the next victory is near. Strong place claims. TENPENNY won well last time and has an undeniable chance of following up. KAMCHATKA can never be ignored – her form is very consistent.
Selections: #1 RULE OF THUMB, #5 WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN, #4 TENPENNY, #2 KAMCHATKA
HOLLYWOODBETS KENILWORTH, 19.08.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R90,000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: NARETOI is still a maiden as are many others in this D Stakes but his last run was good. STATE CAPITOL was in the same race as Naretoi won by Baton Rouge and should be right there at the finish again. TORI’S GIRL and FORT IMPREZA are worth including on the shortlist.
Selections: #2 NARETOI, #4 STATE CAPITOL, #1 TORI’S GIRL, #6 FORT IMPREZA

Race Summary: BLIND DATE beat Black Eagle in the maidens last time and Blace Eagle has franked the form. He could be anything, this colt and record back-to-back wins. He is the first choice. SPIRIT caught the eye first time out the maidens and should be in the first three again. GREEN PLANET finished 2nd at long odds last time and if reproducing that effort again, will be there – include. SARDINIA BAY gets weight off the back – quartet must.
Selections: #5 BLIND DATE, #6 SPIRIT, #3 GREEN PLANET, #4 SARDINIA BAY

Race Summary: TAMBOURINE MAN ran a cracker last time when nearly getting it all right. He is confidently selected to go one more.

Selections: #7 TAMBOURINE MAN, #1 LOVERS LANE, #10 ROYAL LYTHAM, #9 VIVO PER LEI
