Newbury will be the scene of the top action Saturday as everybody's sweetheart Laurens takes on the boys again.

She had a slight glitch at the end of season last year but fresh up she looks a good chance here.  The ex-Fabre nos AP O'Brien runner Le Brivido is considered to be the main rival and is on 9/2.  Andrew Balding's Beat The Bank has still to get his G1 and comes into this on 7/1, with Lord Glitters who was third in Dubai behind Almond Eye on the same quote.

Earlier the G3 Aston Park is over 2400m with 7 to run and Crystal Ocean the odds-on go for Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore.  Laraaib is on 9/2 and one we like here on 10/1 Raymond Tusk with out friend Red Verdon on 16/1.

Friday at York the Cup went again to Stradivarius (he won it last year as well) and they now head towards the races that could earn the Million bonus.  Southern France was 3/4 length back in second with Mildenberger third albeit 5 lengths away.
