Group Two bet365 Mile Guide 2022

Certainly, the most exposed runner in the field with 17 runs to his name, but he has won 7 of those for his previous trainer William Haggas.

He lacks the Group level form that some of these processes or look to possess, but his performance last time out in the Lincoln was a fabulous performance for new trainer Mick Channon.

That race did slightly fall apart however so it’s hard to gauge the form, but Modern News who finished in behind that day has won in style since, so the form has been franked.

He is worthy of taking the step up in class for this but needs to show he can win at this level as it's something that has eluded him over the years of being with the Haggas team.

Won the Lincoln in fine style last time out at Doncaster but does look slightly more exposed than the rest of these, he could back up that performance front last time out, however.

The lowest rated horse in the contest, who is certainly the least exposed runner in the field for the inform Gosden team, with only the five runs to his name so far.

He was a winner on debut at Newmarket in June 2020, before going on to win two more contests at Chelmsford and Ascot both in fine style, before being well fancied to win the Balmoral Handicap at the Royal meeting last June.

He disappointed that day when finishing 14th out of 20 runners but did have excuses as he was forced to switch sides in the later stages of the race.

He certainly falls into the “could be anything” category this year but would really need to have improved a lot over the winter to win this and show that his BHA rating of 102 is very lenient, something that certainly looks so at face value.

Three-time winner in his career, landed two contests last season before going on to be well fancied at Royal Ascot last season, where he disappointed and finished back in the field.

Looks the least exposed so could improve markedly on his lenient rating, would need to show he has improved over the winter though.

The outsider in the field who is by far the most exposed runner in the field with 20 runs to his name, and just 4 wins in the process.

He has won various races in class 2 contests but has lacked the winning edge in group races. Does look slightly up against it in this contest and he needs to step his form up to another level in this.

He has already had a run this season which does play to his strengths, but that was a 3rd place at Thirsk, when he was a 5-length 3rd behind the first two, well beaten behind Mutasaabeq that day, who lines up in this contest, making this horse up against it in this.

Outsider of the field and is more exposed than the rest of the field, does have a run this season but was well beaten by a rival in this field that day. Needs to step his form up to another level to win this fascinating contest.

The second mare in this field, who also gets the mares allowance, but more than that might be needed to land a blow in this race.

She has 4 wins to her name in her career, including in a Listed contest at Pontefract last July, winning with ease by a cool 10 lengths. She looked a possible Group performer that day when landing the race with ease, but hasn’t exactly shown that since, as she has come 2nd in a Group 3 at Ascot last July, before finishing down the field in a Group 3 at Newmarket on her last start of the season.

The busy term might have caught up with her last season, she goes well fresh so might run a huge race in this but has to step up her form to another level to land a blow in this decent contest.

Listed winner by 10 lengths at Pontefract last season, looking like a potential Group performer in the making, she didn’t exactly show that in her next two runs, but the busy season might have taken its toll on her, goes well fresh the mare’s allowance is a huge help, could outrun her odds in this.

The class act of the meeting on Friday, Group 1 Sussex Stakes winner Alcohol Free is in action for Andrew Balding with Rob Hornby set to take the ride.

She is a class act over the mile and all conditions are there for her to suit. She was fantastic in the Sussex Stakes last season at Goodwood, winning the race by just under 2 lengths going away with horses like Poetic Flare, Snow Lantern and Order Of Australia in behind.

The form behind her that day was fantastic, as she really stamped her authority on the mile division.

The Andrew Balding star wasn’t so electric in her last two runs of the season at York and Ascot but she had a busy season so that might have been catching up with her.

She goes well fresh, is a Group 1 performer and is by far the highest rated runner in the contest, with the usual mare’s allowance in this that will certainly come into play, but she is a class act on her day so will be incredibly hard to beat in this.

Group 1 winner last season when landing the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, she is the highest rated in the field with a mare’s allowance on her side, making her the one to beat in this Group 2 contest, before going onto bigger and better things later on in the season.

One of the horses with a question mark next to his name, he has race fitness on his side as he justified favouritism in a class 3 contest at Thirsk at the start of the month.

He had a decent season last time out when winning on seasonal re-appearance at Newmarket before going on to disappoint in some very decent contests, before again going on to win a class 3 contest at Haydock last August.

The feeling from the yard was he was always going to improve for this season, but it’s hard to imagine Alcohol Free is the same age as this horse and has arguably achieved much more in her career.

He could improve from the last run but has to step up considerably to land a blow in this race with the red-hot favourite going to be quite hard to beat.

Has race fitness on his side when landing a class 3 contest at Thirsk last time out, he needs to improve his form quite a bit to win this race but with race fitness on his side, he could run well and land his first group contest, something that has eluded him so far in his career.
