2023 Carnarvon Stakes Tips
Noble Style has been enjoying some strong form and we shouldn’t be dismissive of a recent sixth place at Newmarket in early May. The three-year-old was after all competing in the 2000 Guineas and a midfield performance in this classic race is nothing to scoff at, with Charlie Appleby now hoping for a bright performance in a far less competitive race at York.
Although the horse was unable to find extra when asked the question on soft ground at Newmarket, the pace might not be so hot over six furlongs in the Carnarvon Stakes and there is plenty to like about the three consecutive wins that were landed at Ascot, Newmarket and York last season.
Aesop’s Fables and Shaquille come next in the betting, with the former having finished second in a five-runner race at Navan last time out. That was over five and a half furlongs on heavy ground and the horse might appreciate less testing conditions, with the horse also finishing runner-up at Doncaster over six furlongs on heavy ground last October.
Shaquille has been a three-time winner already and is being respected by the horse racing betting sites, with the three-year-old having most recently won at Newmarket in early May. Sent off at 11/4 in the Howden Insurance Handicap, there was a six furlong victory on soft ground, with potentially more to come from a horse that has been in the winning habit.
