Royal Ascot

[Cashew King]

Update from Charlie Appleby on Noble Style.

“Noble Style pleased in his work yesterday but he has since had some unsatisfactory blood results back. As a result, he will not run in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal @Ascot”

[Lobos]

Worth remembering that this is fairly standard for all courses at this time of year, when the temperature is consistently 20 degrees plus, the sun is shining and there’s a good breeze, ground dries and quickens considerably, applying 5/10mm will maintain current ground and without it the ground could go too quick.
Whether we agree with the policy I don’t have a view but it’s what all courses do…

Absolutely. Good to know they are doing it though . As a watcher and not a backer I just want to see all the best horses taking each other on next week and watering will help. They've put an additional 5mm on the Round course overnight which has now made the ground there on the Good side of G/F. Straight course remains on the fast side of G/F.

Plenty of heat around all week, they’ll water each evening…

Alan King says Trueshan very unlikely to run on Thursday due to ground/forecast. Such a shame. Queen Alexandra on Saturday could be an option if rain comes. Otherwise, Northumberland cup then Goodwood again.

PP have ?5 free bet in Queen Anne at Ascot if anyone interested. Handy any market as Baeed at 1/5 won’t be swelling the coffers!

[ComplyOrDie]

Always easy to get carried away with those American fillies seeing as they’re so big compared to our 2 year olds but she actually just looked blisteringly fast. I saw somewhere on the figures she’s the best 2 year old to have ever ran at the track, and easily so apparently. I like her.


For me the absolute NAP of the week is Persian Force for the Coventry at 4/1. I think he’s very very good. I can’t believe he’s not fav. Yes Noble Style looked good at Ascot but both of Persian Forces runs in my opini9n should have him as favourite. I reckon he’s a 2/1 poke.

I'm with you on both Love Reigns & Persian Force

[PaisleyClegg]

365 have a free ?5 for Tuesday

[HoldenTheReins]

Sky Bet 7 places for the Queen Mary. Some juicy E/W plays there for sure. Dramatised 5/1.

Not a huge studier of flat form but I see plenty are putting up Persian Force, I keep looking at Bradsell, am I insane ?

[Benjy23]

I enjoy Royal Ascot but there's a bunch of 2 year old races that are a bit of a guessing game in truth. Definitely wouldn't call you insane for backing a horse that's ran once and won by 9 lengths, and for a trainer with previous 2yo RA winners...

I won't be getting too stuck into any of the 2yo races personally.

Archie Watson says he could be his best ever 2yo and he's had a few decent youngsters. Drawn (2) away from the horses at the head of the market which may or may not help him.

[Zachx02]

Long shot but Certain Lad at 33s just seems way too big in the Wolferton and may be a nice E/W play, 2nd last time out 3 lengths behind solid stone. 9 lengths in front of Megallan who has since came out and won in group 3 company at Epsom and in 4th was Majestic Dawn who is also in the Wolferton but at a much lower price of 8/1

[YoungHustler]

Absolutely buzzing for the start of Royal Ascot tomorrow. Hoping Baeed and Coroebus come in to set me off on plenty of roll ups for the rest of Royal Ascot and Cheltenham. In the handicaps tomorrow, I've gone for:

17.00 - Coltrane / Golden Flame
17.35 - New Mandate
18.10 - Okita Soushi / Get Shirty

Good luck!

Have went for;
Age of Kings in Coventry

Platinumcard in Copper Horse

Still mulling over a bet for the King's Stand, leaning towards Man of Promise over Mooneista but haven't made mind up.


Edit - bet Man of Promise after the first race was run
