THE Lockinge Stakes is the feature race this afternoon at Newbury and with the mile category up for grabs there is no obvious superstar over the distance.

Modern Games is likely to go off favourite and try and enhance his career record on turf which stands at seven wins from 14 starts including victories in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, French 2,000 Guineas and then back in the USA and last year in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Mile.

Second of eight runners in a Grade One at Keeneland last month should have put him spot on for this Group One at 3.35, and the probable market leader looks like the biggest danger to my value each-way play against the Godolphin charge, LIGHT INFANTRY.
