Derby and Epsom tips and best bets as Ballydoyle ace fancied for Classic triumph
Bermuda Longtail (1:00) can soar for Andrew Balding in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes.
The filly opened her account with an impressive defeat of Dash Of Azure at Kempton.
She stayed a mile well when second to Glittering Surf up in class on her return there.
The bay raised her game again when edged out by Kon Tiki in Listed Company at York.
The three-year-old was slightly unlucky so she can gain compensation slightly up in trip.
Balding can also claim the Northern Dancer Handicap with Candyman Stan (4:15).
The four-year-old developed into a reasonable performer over middle distances last year.
The gelding showed a liking for undulating tracks when slamming Annexation at Brighton.
He handled the similar terrain at Lingfield just as well when cosily denying Charlie's Choice.
He is tailor-made for the demands of Epsom so he can make light of a reasonable 5lb hike.
Docklands (1:35) can land the odds for Harry Eustace in the Betfred Diomed Stakes.
The gelding hit new heights when pipping New Endeavour in the 2023 Britannia at Ascot.
He put in his best shift since when second to Charyn in the following season's QEII there.
Not as good after, bay began this term with a near-miss to Sardinian Warrior at that track.
That is terrific form so the five-year-old can put that run to good use in another hot event.
Mademoiselle (2:10) can turn on the style for George Scott in the Three-Year-Old Dash.
The sprinter built on some solid efforts when brushing aside Bella Love in a Thirsk maiden.
She kept up the good work with a game defeat of Nightbird in a trappy novice at Southwell.
The filly was even better when narrowly denied by Ruby's Profit on her return at Goodwood.
The Team Amo raider should be primed so she can turn the tables on her foe at these weights.
Clarendon House (2:45) can make his class tell for Robert Cowell in the Epsom Dash.
The gelding recorded another personal best when routing Erosandpsyche in a Cork Listed event.
The seven-year-old then struggled to match that performance with some lesser form up in class.
However, he hit back when comfortably denying Marshman back in a Listed event at Southwell.
The bay was as good as ever when third to Rumstar in the Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket.
The speedster remains on song so he can shrug-off a welter-burden back in handicap company.
War Hawk (5:00) can swoop for Team Crisford in the competitive Lester Piggott Handicap.
The gelding benefited from stepping up to 1m 2f when hosing up from Bownder at Lingfield.
Lacklustre at Nottingham, he returned to form with a superb second to Gunship at Newcastle.
The bay didn't mind switching back to turn when hacking up from Magellan Cloud at Chester.
The three-year-old scored with plenty in hand so he can land a better event for his in-form yard.
Circe (5:40) looks absolutely spell-binding for Richard Hannon in the closing Tokyo Trophy.
The filly go her act together when second to Cruyff Turn over seven furlongs at Doncaster.
She continued her revival when just denying Santa Savana dropped in trip at Newmarket.
The four-year-old raised her game again with a game defeat of Change Sings at Windsor.
Circe remains in peak form so she can defy a fair 4lb rise for her thriving connections.
1:00 BERMUDA LONGTAIL
1:35 DOCKLANDS
2:10 MADEMOISELLE
2:45 CLARENDON HOUSE
3:30 DELACROIX (NAP)
4:15 CANDYMAN STAN

North Coast takes Tyros triumph in style
Joseph O'Brien's charge had been beaten just under three lengths by Flushing Meadows on his debut at the Curragh in June before winning next time out and chasing home Daytona in Listed prize on his latest start. He was sent off a 3-1 chance against the Aidan O'Brien-trained 30-100 market leader Flushing Meadows, who was only just beaten in Group Three company on his most recent start,. Under a positive ride from Dylan Browne McMonagle, North Coast more than had the measure of the favourite, coming home a six-length winner, although Ryan Moore did ease his mount a little in the closing stages. Paddy Power put North Coast in as a 25-1 chance for next year's 2000 Guineas and Derby, with a Group One date likely to be next on the agenda. 'That's probably a good trip for him, a stiff seven furlongs,' said the winning trainer. 'He ran great in Naas and you'd have to be impressed with what he did today. 'I backed him up a bit quick coming here, so we'll probably go straight to the National Stakes now rather than going for the Futurity on the way. That would be my immediate thought. 'He's a smart colt and has an exciting future. 'I was very impressed with his last half-furlong. It looked like it was going to be an eyeballing match down to the line but he really pulled away again.' Composing made virtually all the running to register a comfortable success in the Saudi Cup Silver Flash Stakes. Fifth on debut at the Curragh in May, she broke her maiden back at that track last month, prompting Aidan O'Brien to raise her sights to Group Three level here. Moore was eager to get to the front and allowed to stride on, he dictated the pace aboard the 4-9 favourite and Composing never looked like being caught, eventually pulling three and a quarter lengths clear of the staying-on Skydance. The Wootton Bassett filly was cut to 16-1 from 25s by Paddy Power for both the 1000 Guineas and Oaks next year, with O'Brien rating her a potential Group One challenger later in the campaign. 'We're delighted with her, she's a lovely, straightforward filly,' said O'Brien, who was winning the race for the fourth successive season. 'She won lovely the last day and Ryan loved her. She was very professional. 'She'll go for the Debutante Stakes at the Curragh next and could be a filly for the Moyglare.'
