Our ambassador previews four contests on Newbury's Hungerford Day and assesses the big races at Ripon. Coppull showed enough in the Group One July Cup to convince me he is up to taking the Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes (3.10) at Newbury. Clive Cox's three-year-old took a long time to get organised at Newmarket but this strong traveller should enjoy the extra furlong.

Dubai Honour can roll back the years in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes (1.25). This eight-year-old has given my husband Tom Marquand some of his finest moments and can make it win number 11 on his return from a summer break. Wheels Of Fire can put up another bold show in the D&H Handicap (1.55) after beating Hypnotised comfortably at Sandown.

Humam's front-running third at Newmarket puts him bang there for the TPT Fire Handicap (2.35). I loved the way this Andrew Balding runner stuck to his task. At Ripon, Lord Roxby can initiate a big-race double in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap (3.25) after beating Dark Cloud Rising over course and distance. Magic Boy ticks plenty of boxes in the Silver Cup Handicap (2.55) and is ideally drawn in stall 14.
