The 3:20 contest at Newmarket is the widely-anticipated John Smith's Northumberland Plate, a Heritage Handicap staying contest going 2m19y. There is something like 45 entries still in the mix for this race so expect a few very interesting swings in the wagering as we get closer to the off for this one. The Betchworth Kid returns for his third outing of the year for Alan King's yard and you can expect him to improve on his last outing when he finished third, seven lengths behind on a seasonal debut.

The July meeting is ready to get underway this week (even though it won't officially be July...) and the Saturday card at Newmarket plays host to some high quality thoroughbred racing action. The early going is said to be soft and we are still awaiting the final declaration stage so sorting through some deep cards is currently the order of the day.

Some high-quality runners will be on-track this Saturday. Expect a few sunny intervals in the build-up to Saturday so slightly firmer going shouldn't be completely unexpected.

Akeed Mofeed can be backed at around 16/1 and only missed out on his stakes debut by half a length. He will be lining up for his seasonal debut and John Oxx wouldn't have pointed him towards this one if he didn't think it he would at least have a chance and so the question mark over top of him is – just how much has he improved? He's been off-track since last September and will have put on a lot of mass and matured mentally as well.

Another reason to keep your eye on Akeed Mofeed is the incredible season that his father, Dubawi, is having in Europe.

It's been a rollicking two days at Royal Ascot with two stand-out performances punctuating the 12 races run so far. Frankel, a true living legend, got things off with a bang in the Queen Anne Stakes to romp home by 11 smashing lengths in what many are saying is the greatest performance ever rated by modern handicappers.

Swing Bill seems to be getting a lot more respect than he did in the National. Exchange prices floated for him were around 300.0 and he actually managed to finish the race – one of the relative few to do so this year.

Connections obviously think he's capable of running well and acquitting himself properly in this one and his 16/1 price will probably drift up a bit unless he makes a genuinely nice pre-race appearance.

Tullamore Dew is in the mix for this one as well and he looks to be firmly planted in each-way territory, trading at a relatively solid 25/1. Despite not much success in the past year or so he remains towards the top end of...

We've got a cracking field of 20, many coming directly out of the Grand National at Aintree, to tackle the latest iteration of the Bet365 Gold Cup. The longer distance chase isn't quite the testing encounter that the National is but it remains a serious kingmaker with a hefty purse up for grabs at the business-end of the season.

The 6:05 is a bumper race with some extremely lightly-raced four and five-year-olds. This one is really anyone's guess so it's probably one to watch for some last minute price drops. First To Boogie somehow fell in his last race and I'm not even sure he was actually going over obstacles. Either way, he took plenty of money to go off as the 2/1 favourite against a field of nine.
