Tuesday's selections were both disappointing.  Astrophysical Jet simply wasn't fast enough to compete with the other runners in the Sprint.  Wootton Bassett, we have to accept he hasn't lived up to expectation this season, and can have no excuses this time out.
Hopefully Wednesday's two selection can put us back on track.

Royal Ascot

2.30pm (Jersey Stakes)
Fury
2pt Win bet
Current Betfair price:  5.0
Best available elsewhere:  4/1 (Coral, William Hill)
I still watch the replay of Fury's last outing at Sandown (tipped up on this blog) and wonder how he didn't win.  A slight drift to the right seems him beaten by a short head by Tazahum.  5th in the 2000 Guineas this year, in a race that was hard to digenst for all runners other than Frankel, is still encouraging.  In the Jersey Stakes he will be better suited to the 7 furlongs instead of the mile.  The Haggas yard is in good form, and Fury will be needing the ground to stay G, G/S.  We will take a chance on him tomorrow again.

4.25pm (Royal Hunt Cup)
Eton Forever
1pt Each Way bet
Current Betfair price:  16.0
Best available elsewhere:  14/1 (Bet365, William Hill)
Eton Forever caught the eye last season when under Martin Jarvis, and I'm pleased to say Roger Varian is helping him realise his potential since taking over at Kremlin House.  This will be a tough race for Eaton Forever, given his 103 rating, but he is supposedly working well again after the disappointment at Ascot at the end of April.  I feel he is still worth a point bet each way here.

Thanks,
