TODAY'S LUCKY 15

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE 2.35 Newcastle 3/1 – ALPHONSE LE GRANDE showed his staying prowess with a decisive victory in a 2m handicap at the Chester Cup meeting. Despite an 8 lb rise, this Irish contender looks capable of following up.

QITAAL 5.10 Newmarket 5/1 – QITAAL is likely to dictate the pace from the front and could prove difficult to catch with Oisin Murphy aboard.

BALTIC 5.25 Newcastle 5/2 – BALTIC has thrived in handicaps since being fitted with cheekpieces, completing a hat-trick at Yarmouth. Despite a 3 lb rise in class, he remains competitive.

BRIAN THE SNAIL 5.32 Windsor 3/1 – BRIAN THE SNAIL, now in the veteran phase of his career, returned from a break recently and should be sharper for it, making him a contender at this level.

Lucky 15
