There’s more Group 1 action from Newmarket on Sunday afternoon with the first Classic of the season for the fillies, the 1,000 Guineas.

14:55 Newmarket – Story Horse

The staying handicap on Newmarket’s card looks like one of the stronger betting races on Sunday afternoon. Several of these met in a messy race at Musselburgh 15 days ago and plenty of eyes will be on Kihavah, who produced a career best performance then but will need another under a 4lb penalty.

One that may represent some value in the market from an each-way perspective is Story Horse.

That run gave the impression that he would come on for the race and the form has received a significant boost with the winner going in again since.

From the same handicap mark, he looks capable of at least hitting the frame and all his best turf form is on a sound surface, so he ought to appreciate the conditions he’ll encounter on Sunday.

15:35 Newmarket – Chantilly Lace

Bookmakers appear to have the feature race down as a bit of a two-horse race between Desert Flower and Lake Victoria but this race has thrown up its fair share of shocks – including last year’s winner, Emalka – and there’s probably more each-way value to be found this time.

One that may be capable of outrunning her odds is Chantilly Lace. This once-raced daughter of Lope De Vega showed a really good attitude when making all the running in testing ground at Salisbury on her debut, an effort that is worth marking up given that the runner-up and fourth have both won since.
