Elusive Kate is stonking ew value, she has very solid group 1 form, goes well fresh and is easily the classiest outside of the favourite. The only question mark is whether she definitely runs. If she does she will go off a lot shorter than her current price (has already been cut in last day or 2). If the fav doesnt act on the track or going then i'd expect her to win, and even if he does run to top form i think she will give the fav a hell of a race.

A poor Queen Anne with only 2 group 1 winners out of the 15 declared. Fav obviously very short now but this field won't see which way he went if he turns up. The only one I can see giving it a race is dual group 1 winner Elusive Kate. The rest havent ever looked like winning a group 1 so Kate looks a great bet ew at 12-1

Elusive Kate could now be set to swerve Animal Kingdom in Tuesday's Queen Anne Stakes and head for the Duke of Cambridgeshire Stakes a day later.
Not seen since finishing third behind Excelebration in last October's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day, John Gosden's filly has the option of tackling her own sex in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes, formerly known as the Windsor Forest. Patrick Barbe, racing manager for Japanese owner Teruya Yoshida, felt the Queen Anne was the more likely destination when contacted on Thursday morning but, after speaking with Gosden later in the day, is now unsure. Barbe said: "There might be a change of plan. She could run in the race on Wednesday (Duke of Cambridge), but it is not definite yet. "It could be a tough ask running against a horse like Animal Kingdom first time out. We will make a final decision on Friday afternoon." Speaking on Thursday morning, Barbe said he felt Animal Kingdom will be playing a "different game" in Berkshire. "Animal Kingdom is a very good horse, but this will be a different game for him," said Barbe. "Dubai is very similar to Churchill Downs (where he won Kentucky Derby) - it is a flat, left-handed track - but at Ascot he will be running over a straight course that is up and down. "I wish him all the best, but it will be a different game for him." |

Chil The Kite is my specualtive e/w poke at around 66/1. Needs further than a mile really but is a course winner so if they go fast up front (which bI nepxetc them to) he could stay on into the frame.

soveriegn debt to run past beaten horses for a place again....out the back might be the best place to be early on as I don't think they're going go a crawl here.
