THE HOTLIST

Alan Morris returns with his weekly hotlist horses. Horses who've raced over the past seven days that he thinks are worth following and putting in your trackers. With Royal Ascot taking place this past week these are some high-class horses to follow! CHAMPAGNE PRINCE (J Chapple-Hyam)

You don't see so many discrepancies between all-weather and turf marks these days but Champagne Prince is currently 10lb lower on turf with a mark of 97. He hasn't had too many tries on turf and only once since he changed his tactics to front-running. That attempt was Tuesday from the widest draw over 14f where he was pushed up to lead over a trip beyond his winning distances on the all-weather. The 4yo colt stuck on for a very long time despite those initial efforts and dominating a big field of that quality was always going to be difficult. His all-weather form against Eydon has been franked and he should be able to exploit his turf mark front-running in smaller fields and most likely over 12f-14f, He has an entry in the Bet 365 Trophy at Newmarket in a couple of weeks over 14f and could still go well at a price in a bigger field on that track. 

GREEK ORDER (M Bell)

Greek Order has had an interesting 12-race career so far finishing 2nd in the 2023 Cambridgeshire before a four-race career in America that never really worked out and he left Juddmonte earlier this year. Now with Michael Bell, he ran a huge race on his return to the UK on Wednesday, pulling well clear with the eventual winner on his side to finish 4th in the Royal Hunt Cup. 20-1 is available for the John Smith's Cup at York in a few weeks and he should be strongly considered for the big 8-10f handicaps for the rest of the season with the potential to return to black-type grade in due course.  CURRENT HOTLIST:
