Abraham Lincoln was impressive on his debut, with the Aidan O’Brien-trained charge scoring at the Curragh over six furlongs. The horse was sent off as the 11/8 favourite when fending off eleven contenders, with the charge in touch with the leaders throughout the six furlong contest before emerging to have the best staying ability.

That was a victory by nearly two lengths although we still think that Al Hudaiba is better value at the prices. Charlie Appleby trains a runner who has scored twice at Newmarket this year. The horse obliged in the middle of May when beating five other horses before a hiccup when the runner unseated his rider at Yarmouth a couple of weeks later.

There was a confidence-restoring performance back at Newmarket in a novice stakes and we think that this experience could stand the horse in good stead. Trainer Charlie Appleby will be confident that William Buick can give the runner a great spin and it could end up being a tactical battle on good to firm ground.

Pikachu runs for Charlie Johnston and there have been some encouraging displays thus far. The horse’s career started with a runner-up spot at Thirsk and was followed up by a bright display at Royal Ascot. At a price of 20/1, there was a fifth-placed effort in the Chesham Stakes in a field of fourteen runners.
