Saturday Racing Tips – Dan James Racing

Red Letter contested the 1000 Guineas on her seasonal debut, a significant step up in class. Although she didn’t feature prominently, the mere fact that she was entered and started as one of the market leaders indicates the high regard in which she’s held. Being a daughter of Frankel, Red Letter boasts an exceptional pedigree, suggesting she possesses both speed and stamina—key attributes for success at Navan. She can win this comfortably here.

I am sticking with Jm Jungle this week. JM Jungle enters the Dash in excellent form, with a series of strong performances against quality opposition. His consistency, favourable draw, and proven competitiveness at this level make him a compelling contender. The Dash is renowned for its fast pace and often favours horses with early speed and a low draw. JM Jungle’s draw in stall seven positions him well to capitalize on any inside bias. Very consistent type and can get his head in front here.

Stanhope Gardens has shown significant improvement in recent outings, indicating he’s peaking at the right time for this classic. He is positioned well in the starting stalls, which could provide a tactical advantage in navigating Epsom’s unique course. He reappears quite quickly here after his seasonable debut and I’m expecting a massive run at great odds given how well this yards horses usually progress over the winter months.
