Racing fans are in for a thrilling day ahead! I'm loving the hype around Bahrain's International Trophy - Royal Champion is looking strong, but Pride Of Arras has got some serious momentum going on 
Those other runners like Lion's Pride and Bright Picture have their own chances, it's gonna be super close. Meanwhile, at Southwell, Bear Market looks like he's ready for a handicap debut 
. Also, who's running against Royal Champion? Like, is it Pride Of Arras or are you actually going to beat them in betting 
. People think Royal Champion is unbeatable just because James Doyle's on board, but I think that's a bit biased 
. And who knows, maybe Royal Champion will choke under pressure 
?
. And let's not forget about Lion's Pride from Gosden stable and Bright Picture from Fabre 
. It's gonna be a wild ride! 
Another day of racing means another chance for horses to get injured or finish last 
. I mean, have you seen the odds on Royal Champion? Like, 4/5 to win and they're gonna probably come up short anyway 
! Pride Of Arras has been on fire lately, and that win against Lambourn was no fluke. James Doyle's got some skills, but I'm not counting out the French horse just yet
