Yahoo Sport UK’s horse racing Lucky 15 – Saturday’s top selections

Yahoo Sport UK has teamed up with Bet4Causes to bring you a preview of the day’s British racing – and The Night Hawk marks your card.

Each day we will provide you with a preview of the day’s racing, offering what the experts feel will be the value bets of the day.

Take a look at our Lucky 15 selections (four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold) for the British meetings on Saturday, July 23, 2016.

LUCKY 15 SELECTIONS

D’BAI (Newmarket 2.00) looks set for a bright future following his smart staying-on second to Dubai Hero in what looked a hot juvenile maiden at the July meeting. The winner looks set to tackle Group company later next week, but the selection was the one to take out of the race. Very green early on, once the penny dropped he really grabbed the fast ground up the final climb. His trainer Charlie Appleby holds him high in the juvenile pecking order and it would be no surprise to see this Dubawi colt go on to much better things. This 7f maiden should provide clues as to just how good he is.

MANSON (Ascot 3.20) could earn a trip to the Secretariat Stakes at Arlington should he land the competitive mile handicap. The Dominic Ffrench Davis-trained three-year-old has run his best races on quicker ground and did not get enough cover under Ryan Moore when very well backed at Newmarket last time. He was ultimately beaten two-and-a-half-lengths by the re-opposing Von Blucher, who is 7lb worse off today. Providing the rain stays away, the selection should be able to pick them off on this stiff mile, which looks the minimum he requires now.

WINGS OF DESIRE (Ascot 4.30) has a great opportunity to land the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes for John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori. Winner of the Dante Stakes at York, he then finished fourth in the Derby behind Harzand in ground softer than ideal. It was a fine run in the circumstances and he may well have found the undulating track against him that time. A return to a more conventional track and better ground should give him every opportunity to stick it to his elders.

WOWCHA (Newcastle 2.20) ran well here on her penultimate start to get within three and a half lengths of Awesome Quality, who, in truth, did little to frank the form next time. The selection could have done with a slightly easier surface than she got at Doncaster last time when second to Bint Arcano. More forceful tactics did not seem to help and she appears best coming from slightly off the pace, as she has a good turn of foot. Beaten favourite on three of her last four outings, John Quinn’s runner is getting expensive to follow, but her odds are likely to be far less restrictive tonight and she rates a value play in the 6f handicap off a 1lb higher mark.
