Super Saturday a fantastic feast - and there could be a Magical main course

If you like picking at dainty canapes this weekend's racing is probably not for you, but if you're more of an 'all you can eat buffet' type you can gorge yourself rotten. York, Newmarket and Ascot all feature in a three-hour helter-skelter of Channel 4 action covering ten live races, several of which on quieter days would be capable of being the main course.

Saving the right and wrongs of this state of affairs for another day, it is the Group 1 Darley July Cup at Newmarket that provides the fine dining. Regular readers will know the regard in which I hold the current four-year-old sprinting crop but sorting out which one of them might prevail is a much harder task – mainly because of the faster ground they will encounter today.

As a big fan of Twilight Son it pains me to desert him but he is more of a grinding sprinter whose greatest asset is to sustain speed. Contrast that to the abilities of Magical Memory and Limato to display a devastating burst and conditions today may favour the latter pair. Having been poorly placed at Royal Ascot, Magical Memory (4.35 Newmarket) could come out on top this time.
