Will top weight stop Indian Star (7:00 Newton Abbot) from notching up a three timer? The danger would appear to come from likely favourite Cornish Flame - who must be respected especially with AP on-board.
5f races can always be a bit tricky, but with a clear run Handinthemist can do the business in the 5:50 at Redcar.
Stellite todays selection runs in the 8:50 at Ayr. Has had three runs this year, two firsts and second last timeout. New jockey Fergal Lynch should be able to steer him to victory this evening.
Day Five Royal Ascot:
Championship Point 4:20
Earcomesannie Towcester 8:40 is todays selection: Going for the hat-trick, and with Jack Doyle on board, will they do it?
Ascot Day Three.
We’ll give Unnefer a try in the 4:55.
Todays Nap Hits Only Vic runs in the 8:55 at Ripon. In great form at present, the one to beat.
Day Two Royal Ascot:-
What about Heaven Sent 3:05
Day one of Royal Ascot, assuming Hennrythenavigator is going to win the St James’s Palace Stakes we are looking for a bit of value in Tariq (Queen Anne Stakes 2:30). A well respected chestnut colt coming off a third place at Newbury in May. Given the right start has every chance here today.
We have a lot to live upto after yesterdays 15-2 winner, so lets hope Harrison George (York, 5:05) can strut his stuff today, in a race in which he looks to have a slight edge over the competition.
Buddy Holly Sandown 4:55 is today’s selection: Has been making steady progress and going down a class today.Don’t rule him out.
French Art Nottingham 4:10 is todays selection. Has a bit to prove, but should be able to pull it off today.
Non Runner
Clowance in the Oaks 4:05 at Epsom is today’s choice. All her three races have been at Newbury on good ground so should suit today. This is her longest race so far and with her ever improving form should have every chance.
