'He could be a stakes sprinter and shouldn't be 8-1' - David Jennings answers the big questions ahead of the July meeting at Newmarket

'He could be a stakes sprinter and shouldn't be 8-1' - David Jennings answers the big questions ahead of the July meeting

What are you most looking forward to?

The Kingdom of Bahrain July Stakes (2.25) beats the Princess of Wales's Stakes (3.35) in the sexiness stakes, that's for sure. There's something so engrossing about an unbeaten Coolmore colt taking on an unbeaten Godolphin one. This time it's Brussels v Maximized and something has to give.

Whistlejacket won it for Aidan O'Brien last year, while you have to rewind all the way to the David Loder-trained Noverre in 2000 to find the last time the famous blue silks of Godolphin were carried to victory.

That drought could end here, though, as Maximized might just be a bit too streetwise for Brussels. He had the subsequent Windsor Castle winner back in second when winning the Woodcote.

Can Ghostwriter start repaying his hefty price-tag?

Ghostwriter is on his last warning with me.

He seems to run the same sort of race no matter what the trip. It looked like he was outpaced on the home turn in the Hardwicke, but then he plugged on into third and certainly seemed to stay the distance fine. I fancied him there and he disappointed me.

This is his last chance. He'll never find an easier Group 2 than this one and there will be some long faces in the Amo Racing camp if he can't win for the first time in the best part of two years.

Could there be St Leger clues in the Bahrain Trophy?

Scandinavia could work his way onto the Ballydoyle Leger team, but I thought 5-4 looked short enough here.

The Ballydoyle stayer ran a mighty race in the Queen's Vase given his wide trip, but he's priced up as though he won the race comfortably.

Nightime Dancer is growing on me. He finished eighth in the Derby and Richard Hannon thinks he could be a Leger type. He might be on to something.

Who’s the best bet of the day?

That's Tawasol in the 6f handicap (3.00).

I make him more a 4-1 shot than an 8-1 chance and the way he destroyed a field at Doncaster last time made me think he could be a stakes sprinter.

And who’s the lay of the day?

Parole D'Oro is surely too short in the concluding mile handicap (5.20).

There are any amount of dangers in there, especially the course specialist Waiting All Night, who I'll be waiting all day for. I'd take the 14-1, if I were you. He could go off half that.
