The French were dissapointed yesterday with the performance of the jockey on Goldikove but I hope the French jockey in the first at Royal ascot redeems their reputation with a sound ride on Havane Smoker, the colt has form in Group comapany in France and has run two excellent races so far this season. New tactics have seen him riddemn closer to the pace and on both occasions he was good enough to mount a strong challenge before being headed closer to home. The drop back to 7f should suit him well as will the going. Available to back with BFred at 9/2 (5.5) leaves an in running lay off price of 3.6 for a one point all green screen.
