Sone cracking Group 1 races on the cards and the usual massive field handicaps to sort through.
No doubt the draw will play it ‘s part though even that can swap round from day to day.
On Tuesday I’ll just watch the Queen Anne and SJP but I do like the Grench raider Rayevka in the King Charles.
The usual hype around the Aussies means we get a decent price too. Ran well at the meeting in the Commonwealth Cup last year and seems am improved horse dropped to the minimum. Have had a decent bet at 8/1.
On Wednesday the POW is one to watch and savour but I really like Catalina Delcarpio in the Duke of Cambridge at 8/1. Ran well in the Ribblesdale last year but has looked much better at shorter and though another furlong wouldn’t go amiss she should be running on very strongly and with no standout I can see her getting up.
The Hunt Cup, like a lot of top handicaps, doesn’t seem as good these days and I really like the chances of the top weight Holloway Boy. There is only a stone between top and bottom weight and if they put a claimer on him he”ll be running off virtually level weights with most of the field even though he is a proven Group horse. He also loves the track and with a fair draw should go very close.
Will look at Thursday and Friday once the entries are out.

I like the look of the Queen Anne.
Notable Speech is favourite after his win at Newbury. A completely different track to Ascot, and he has failed here twice already. Opera Ballo showed plenty of ability as a 3 year old, and is two from two this season. But is a keen front runner which might not suit here. The play for me is More Thunder. Ran really well on his debut at Newbury from the rear, which suits front runners. Likes Ascot and fancy him to turn the Lockinge result around. Docklands could be an e/w play on the day. |

Notable Speech won well last time but, in my view, it wasn't quite as top notch a performance as it may have looked. I was impressed with Opera Ballo at Sandown and have him up 13lbs from last season. I have that performance as much as 6lbs better than the Lockinge, and the only genuine Gp1 performance I've seen from an older horse so far this year. Hopefully today's race pans out well for him without him doing too much too soon. I'd make him the short price fav here and have backed him.

The usual massive bias to the stands rail - which will get more pronounced until Friday when it will reverse.
Rayevka beaten by the draw and with Holloway Boy drawn low I have given up any hope of him winning, |
