With the trainer of the first and second favourite present it will be interesting to hear their views
A line up of some of Newmarket’s leading racing names have signed up to present a Royal Ascot Preview Evening on the 12th June at Swynford Hotel near Newmarket. The host for the evening is William Haggas, with the panel comprising the Master of Bedford House Stables Luca Cumani, John Gosden’s stable jockey William Buick, Channel 4 Racing’s Emma Spencer, Godolphin’s Simon Crisford, BHA senior handicapper Phil Smith and Star Sports’ Luke Tarr.
Racing Welfare Fundraising and Communications executive, Richard Negus said “We were honoured and delighted when asked to become the recipient Charity for Star Sport’s Royal Ascot preview. We are extremely grateful to Luke Tarr and his team for recruiting a truly stellar line up who have all so kindly given their time for free. I am sure that all preview attendees will be delighted that the proceeds of the preview are going to support the stable lads and lasses who make a day at the races possible.”
The event which is sponsored by Star Sports is being run in aid of Racing Welfare and a donation is also being made to SHNAG (Save Historic Newmarket Action Group).
PR manager for Star Sports, Luke Tarr is enthusiastic about his brain child “We ran a very successful Cheltenham preview at Swynford back in March that attracted a fantastic audience. To hold a Royal Ascot preview here in the home of flat racing seemed the obvious next step. We think that the panel are just about as good as you can get, the location is superb and the causes that the evening is raising money for should be supported by everyone who calls themselves a racing fan.”
Tickets cost £10 in advance or £15 on the night with Star Sports clients gaining free entry. To book tickets contact the Swynford Hotel on 01638 570234. The Preview starts at 6pm and will also feature a raffle and auction
Unless the COC waters the stands side overnight to ' even it up ' then those draw low would appear to have very little chance . KAY GEE BE [33] would now be my e/w bet .

Agree you have to be drawn high and this normally goes to a pretty lightly raced four year old, can't believe the price on Julienas, ground too soft last time and should enjoy this test. Bronze Prince also overpriced, should love the extra furlong.
