For years we've all assembled, like the Gathering of the Clans, to offer up our 2 quid Backs and Lays at Royal Ascot.

So far I have failed to spot the annual thread, or our undoubted leader BigSmiffy. Is the Great Man otherwise engaged this year?

Goldream is a horse I like.

Low draws haven't faired too well in recent seasons

I layed a few successfully in-running earlier, but they don't count for this Twopounder Cognoscenti thread.

I am a big fan of the Bolger operation, but I am going to try a £2 Lay of PLASCACH in the 3-40, despite having backed her to win both her last 2 races. I don't think the price is right, and stepping up to 1m 4f is another challenge. If she wins, I won't mind one bit.

Good luck all Twopounders.

After a 100% record of 4 successful Lay bets this week, I'm once again going against my favourite stable in the 4-20. A £2 Lay of LUCIDA for me here, based on the rotten draw, and the fact that the horse has never won over a mile, and has only one win in her last 5 outings. Not sure that will be good enough in what looks like a tough contest, but if she wins I'll cheer her long and loud.
