Royal Ascot

Might have a couple of quid on Kingsgate Native to repel the Aussies in the King's Stand.
 
Tomorrow Cavalryman is worth an each way at 12/1 in the 3.50. He didn't handle Epsom last time out and his price is too long. I wouldn't put anyone off Twice Over who ran well in the same race last year.

Ask at 6s is a fantastic bet in the Gold Cup on Thursday.
 
Twice Over and Riggins was my lot today, two seconds. The former finished well but got held up unfortunately, to take nothing away from Byword mind.

Lump on Manifest i'm thinking.


Dettori with a 28/1 winner in the 4:25, anyone here lucky enough?

Manifest is worth a cover bet in the Gold Cup but Ask is the clear choice in that race. He loves Ascot and was placed in the King George. He's a high class animal and should stay. I took 7/1 last week and 11/2 is still available and worth taking.

The other bet today is Hibaayeb is the 3.05. She was second to the French Oaks winner in May and that form is probably the best in the race as I don't think the Epsom version is up to much and the favourite (another Cecil animal ffs) is a very false price. The form of her last run looks horrible.
 
The bookies are smiling again.

Ask didn't stay and was a distant 5th, Manifest really didn't and was a speck on the horizon.

Credit to those who backed Rite of Passage, decent finish.
