Newbury 2.45 Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes 1m Gp1 Good ground

I really like Cesare and feel conditions and trip are ideal today and it won at listed level with ease last time out for Jamie Spencer and he takes the ride again today. Has a touch of class about it, 6 wins over 1m, has won on all grounds from soft to good to firm, 2 from 2 in May races, and Spencer has 5 wins on the horse. The horse is ideal for his style of riding and as long as he doesn't find trouble in running he has to be close.

I also like Arabian Gleam and feel this is a horse that could win some good races this season. It impressed me in 2 maiden races and it was noted as one to folllow. It was behind Tariq twice over 7f, both times running on at the end of the race and once after being hampered. Eventually won a Group 2 at Doncaster over 7f on good to firm for Jonny Murtagh. May have been beaten by the draw in its last race at Newmarket but will be back to winning ways sooner rather than later. May need the race after 210 days off but at 33-1 I'm taking a chance on it being fit and ready to win.

The last one I fancy is Tariq, as mentioned finished in front of Arabian Gleam twice and looked like a 7f specialist but now expected to get 1m. Progressed well with 3 vctories back to back in Listed, Gp3 and Gp 2 company. Seems to prefer better ground and when tried over 1m was hampered so hard to judge that effort fairly. Has a nice turn of foot and if it gets this extra 1f it will be a real danger today.
