Race Tip

A strong but open-looking renewal of the final G1 in the British flat season. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (8) is a James Owen trained colt. Provided a mammoth effort challenging a noted performer close attempting the G3 Acomb Stakes at York before quickening smartly to land the G2 Royal Lodge on his most recent outing at Newmarket. Likely set to go following a four-week break and is preferred. The improving DELACROIX (2) showed great tenacity making all in the G3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. John and Thady Gosden train DETAIN (3) who has created a big impression winning both starts over 7f at Kempton and must be considered alongside HOTAZHELL (4).
