The Punt Daily: Tom Collins's free racing tips on Saturday
BANKER
Enbihaar(2.40 Haydock)
John Gosden, who has won the Lancashire Oaks four times from the last eight renewals, looks to have another fantastic chance of taking the Group 2 prize with his improving Enbihaar. Conditions will be ideal for this daughter of Redoute's Choice, who holds Klassique on Goodwood form two starts ago. She has to turn the form around with likely market leader Dramatic Queen as she was beaten half a length by that rival last time out, but she hung under pressure that day and arguably threw the race away inside the final furlong. She drops back in trip, which can only be seen as a positive, and Dane O'Neill, who won on her two starts ago, replaces Adam Kirby.
GOOD THING
Dreamweaver(5.20 Sandown)
This Mastercraftsman gelding is almost certainly well treated off a mark of 67 and I'm extremely hopeful he can follow up what was an impressive handicap debut score at Goodwood. He showed plenty of promise at two despite never figuring in the finish, but improved dramatically for a winter off and gelding operation when romping home in May. Walker stated that he's only going to improve after that effort and the booking of the in-form Andrea Atzeni is a sign of intent.
AMERICAN ANGLE
Demarchelier (10.44 Belmont Park)
Chad Brown looks likely to dominate the Belmont Derby (unsurprisingly) and I fancy Demarchelier to overturn
stablemate Digital Age, although both are extremely talented three-year-olds. Demarchelier, a son of Dubawi, was super impressive on his first two outings when winning in maiden special weight and allowance company, and duly backed that up with an authoritative score with a late charge in Grade 3 company last time. This represents another step up but I'd like to think he's good enough to maintain his winning record.
