Mill Reef at Newbury

On a pretty quiet weekend this is one of the more interesting races.

It's G2 for the 2yos but the going is forecast as heavy which will be a first for a few of them.

Heading the market is Mister Sketch from Eve Johnson-Haughton's yard, Charles Bishop has the ride and the son of Territories is on 11/4.  We are going a bit wider with the other two picks – Array on 5/1 for Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy for the No Nay Never, and 8/1 for Red Zone Hero with Tom Marquand riding the son of Starspangledbanner for Michael Bell.

Earlier the World Trophy Stakes is G3 over 1000m.  Sense of Duty has 4 wins and 1 second from his 5 starts to date and is on 6/5 for Haggas-Marquand but he has raced mostly at 1200m whereas Raasel is 3/1 is a bit of a 1000m specialist – Michael Appleby has James Doyle riding.
