Who To Follow In Britain On Saturday

The feature race of the day at Newbury is the Group Two Hungerford Stakes and the three year old Threat for Richard Hannon can use this as a stepping stone to rebuild his career.

The colt was a superb juvenile, finishing second in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

After some near misses he finally landed some decent contests, taking the Group Two Gimcrack at York's Ebor meeting and backing that up in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster.

He has found it hard to improve in classy fields now a year older, finishing fifth in the St James's Palace Stakes and then a never nearer 10th in the July Cup.

Dropping down in grade and being tried at seven furlongs could see him back to his best as he holds to much potential to be overlooked here.

Trainer James Ferguson has only one runner on the card at Newbury and the juvenile colt looks to be a very nice type for the yard.

Along with that, Ferguson seems to be in the form of his life at the moment currently running at a strike rate of 33.33% having had two winners from 6 runners in the last fortnight.

His colt Francesco Guardi goes in the Listed Denford Stakes and he landed a 12 runner event at Salisbury seeing off a nice runner for John Gosden, just getting up on the line and he should improve for that having learnt on the job.

His pedigree is superb being a son of Frankel and also related to dual Arc winner Treve.

Finally, the jockey that we believe will have a day to remember at Newbury is the Italian Andrea Atzeni who has a smart book of rides on Saturday.

The jockey has had four winners in the last two weeks and will be looking to add to that at the weekend and for us he has two smart chances at decent prices.

The first is King Carney in the third race of the day, the three year old was a classy juvenile, not finishing out of the top two on his three starts and winning twice on soft ground at Nottingham and Pontefract.

The gelding is a son of Epsom Derby winner Australia and although not being at his best this season, he is dropping back to his favoured mile and also in grade which should see him go well again.

In the penultimate race of the day he sits on Solar Screen for Roger Varian and his retained owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum.

The son of Arc winner Golden Horn was bought for 210,000gns and on his debut in October finished sixth of 13 at Newmarket.

He made his three year old debut at Doncaster, stepping up in trip to todays distance and he was a smart second behind the nice Sea Of Style for William Haggas.

He looks a big improver off the back of that run and has the stamina in his pedigree to dominate at this trip.
