2.50 Deauville – Can Ace Impact enhance Arc claims?

Jean-Claude Rouget’s Ace Impact was a blistering winner of the French Derby and he looks to take a further step forward in the Prix Guillaume d’Ornamo (2:50) at Deauville.

The star three-year-old brushed aside Big Rock last time out and the son of Cracksman will look to land the Group Two prize before a run in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on October 1.

He might not have it all his own way though, with Joseph O’Brien’s Al Riffa and Breeders’ Cup hero Victoria Road among the seven rivals.

Rouget also runs Cambronne, although he could well prove to be a pacemaker for his stablemate and hot favourite.

3.50 Lingfield – Hat-trick seekers clash in quality handicap

Over at Lingfield, there’s a cracking renewal of the Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap (3:50) with two hat-trick seekers doing battle among eight runners.

Sir Mark Prescott knows how to run up a sequence and sends Gleneagles gelding Desert Falcon, who has won twice since a gelding operation and in-form rider Thore Hammer Hansen takes the ride.

David Simcock and Hayley Turner combine with Restrict who is also on the hat-trick bid, whilst Resolute Man and Desert Voice drop in grade but must have solid chances if returning to form.

7.00 Newcastle – Tight nursery at Gosforth Park

It’s a typically tight nursery up at Newcastle with all of the eight runners in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Nursery Handicap (7:00) looking to have a decent chance.

Karl Burke has a 25% strike rate with his two-year-old runners and runs Making Dreams who bids for a quick-fire hat-trick under apprentice Brandon Wilkie who has enjoyed a good run of late.

Richard Fahey’s Classy Clarets & Charlie Johnston’s Rosenzoo head the likely opposition, with the latter running noticeably well at Epsom last month.
