ENCORE TO SCORE

IN THE Group Three Highclere Racing Geoffrey Freer Stakes run over a mile and a five furlongs at Newbury, the progressive three-year-old PINHOLE (1.50) can take advantage of the 8lb he receives from his older rivals.

The last time we sighted the son of Frankel he was bolting up over a mile and a half at Ascot in July, where he was very strong at the end of the race. Ralph Beckett's beast steps up in class, but he shapes as though this longer trip will see him in an even better light.

It's a wonderful sight to see sprinters of the same colour bounding up the Newmarket July Course in the Jenningsbet Grey Horse Handicap run over six furlongs in the Suffolk sunshine. Clive Cox knows more about winnings speedsters than JR Hartley does about fly-fishing, so have a few quid each-way on ADDISON GREY (2.05), who was third of 14 at Chepstow last Thursday on ground too soft for him. The three-year-old had earlier hacked up by 17 lengths at Salisbury on a fast surface, and Jack Nicholls is well worth his 7lb claim.
