305 ascot the coventry stakes my top 4 speed ratings are- rousing encore harry time paddys day scholarship no point putting numbers to them they all come out within 1point of each other. factors you may need to consider done Distance +1 ran once -1 so rousing encore is probably the best option.

Agree with Mighty Ulysses, jockey seemed to panic last time, should be more to come with better handling. 13/2 e/w (bet365) without the fav might be a way to go for the cautiously inclined. Bit gutting to get chinned for the E/W when he was there with a chance of the win.

Ascot 2.30 We start Royal Ascot with the group one Queen Anne Stakes where William Haggas’s superstar Baaeed has an easy task to take his unbeaten run to eight from eight. He really does look the real deal and I can see him going off a 1/6 chance or even shorter. His recent win at Newbury in the Lockinge has him way ahead of Real World (beaten 3 1/4L), Chindit (5L) and Sir Busker (6 1/4L) and he should have a comfortable victory here under regular rider Jim Crowley. Sit back and enjoy. Ascot 3.05 Seventeen colts go to post for this year’s renewal of the group 2 Coventry Stakes and with the 11th hour defection of Noble Style has the Adrian O’Brien unbeaten Blackbeard and Richard Hannon’s similarly unbeaten Persian Force battling it out for favouritism. Preference of the pair is the latter who has looked a smart prospect winning the Brocklesby at Doncaster and a small field at Newbury. His trainer Richard Hannon has gone in print saying he is comparable to the smart Canford Cliffs whom he trained. He’s the main bet here although one horse who impressed me immensely on his racecourse debut was the Archie Watson trained Bradsell who bolted up at Yorkmon his debut under PJ McDonald who’s replaced today by Hollie Doyle. He is by all accounts held in very high esteem by his trainer and I’ll be backing him each way along with Persian Force. PERSIAN FORCE 2 points win 3/1 William Hill BRADSELL 1 point each way 8/1 bet365 1/5th 12345 Ascot 3.40 A decent sized field of 18 go to post for the group 1 Kings Stand Stakes which has a very international look about it this year with Australian, American, Irish and even a Czech runner alongside the usual British contingent. The top rated here is Australian superstar Nature Strip who has plenty of experience as a seven year old in his native country having won eight group ones. This will be his first run outside of Australia although his work according to his trainer Chris Waller has all gone well having been housed at Charlie Hills’ stable in Lambourn. Drawn 10 gives him options and is a fascinating runner. The market suggests that the American trained Golden Pal will be a big threat. A very fast horse who his trainer Wesley Ward has been talking up in the last week has actually been beaten twice in his ventures to this country and I would favour Aussie Nature Strip who is the main bet. Obviously with the travel involved there is the possibility that both the front two could bomb out and at around 8/11 the pair I will all also be playing one of the others small each way. Tim Easterby’s Winter Power totally blew out on his re-appearance at Haydock behind two of today’s rivals in Kings Lynn and Twilight Calls. He was very easy to back that day and let’s not forget he was a group one winner last season and has to be better than that last run so looks each way value with the extra place. NATURE STRIP 2 points win 5/2 bet365 WINTER POWER 1/2 point each way 20/1 Coral/Ladbroke 1/5th 1234 Ascot 4.20 The group 1 St James Palace Stakes is next up. Run over a mile it’s for three year old colts and has attracted a field of 13. Warm favourite is the Charlie Appleby trained Coroebus who had plenty of these behind him when winning the 2000 Guineas. He’s yet to race around a bend although his trainer feels that may actually suit him and he’s fared well with the draw in stall 2. He’s hard to oppose with William Buick in the saddle. William Haggas saddles a brace in his German 2000 Guineas winner Maljoom and Heron Stakes winner My Prospero with preference for the latter. It will be a shock to me if Coroebus can’t win again. Ascot 5.00 A true stamina test with the 2m 4F Ascot Stakes Handicap featuring twenty potential stayers. The two favourites are trained by trainers more associated with Cheltenham than Royal Ascot with Willie Mullin’s Bring On The Night and Gordon Elliott’s Pied Piper. Preference is for the latter who has turned into a smart hurdler since joint Elliott from John Gosden. He’s rated 145 over sticks but only 96 today so may have a bit in hand although like Bring On The Night has to truly prove he stays this stamina sapping trip and with the pair around the 7/4 mark coupled it’s maybe worth looking elsewhere for some each way value especially with the extra places. Another hurdler at a much bigger price who looks well handicapped is Paul Nicholls’ Scaramanga the mount of Hollie Doyle. He has claims but it’s yet another hurdler that catches my eye in the John Queally trained eight year old gelding Arcadian Sunrise. He will stay this trip and there were excuses for his latest credible 4th in the Chester Cup (took a keen hold on his first start for 187 days and may not have been at home on the tight track). At the prices I’ll play him each way with the icing on the cake being the booking of useful 5lb claimer Harry Davies. ARCADIAN SUNRISE 1 point each way 17/2 William Hill 1/5th 12345 Ascot 5.35 A competitive renewal of the listed Wolverton Stakes run over 10F for four year olds and upwards. Last years winner Juan Elcano is back to defend his crown and has definite claims. Bar outsiders Moving Time and Palavechino there is actually only four pound between the other fourteen runners. Plenty hold chances but the one I like is the Andrew Balding trained Foxes Tales although I must admit the widest draw in 16 is a bit of a concern. A Group 3 winner last season at Haydock he misses a penalty for this contest by a couple of week. He’s run well on both outings this season in group 3 company including last time out when 4th to Ilaraab at Newbury with the horse that finished just ahead of him Without A Fight winning well at the weekend. It’s a tough race with bets best kept to a minimum. FOXES TALES 1 point each way 11/1 BetVictor 1/5th 1234 Ascot 6.10 A maximum field of sixteen go to post for this 1m 6F Copper Horse Handicap, a class 2 handicap for four year olds and upwards. Red hot favourite and sure to be thereabouts at the finish is the Aiden O’Brien trained Cleveland who will be ridden by Ryan Moore. He came from the back to take the half mile further Chester Cup last time and has been raised 5lb for that victory. He’s yet to encounter ground this fast but is the one to beat. The ground may well ride too fast for the likes of Not So Sleepy and Get Shirty. The Gosden’s run an interesting runner here in Stowell who is making his handicap debut under Frankie Dettori and can be competitive. Charlie Appleby saddles Bandinelli in first time blinkers but he ran so bad last time it’s hard to be too confident about him. A tough handicap but they all have to beat Cleveland who has a touch of class about him and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him winning again despite his cramped odds. CLEVELAND 2 points win 3/1 bet365

Ascot 5.00 Pied Piper - 4.33 - place bet @ 4 places.

Well, already at odds against, i will be once again on Dimitrov. He has always let me down, but i feel he could win today. He absolutely loves grass and London as well, playing there 13 times in his entire career. He has the better weapons than Norrie on grass and some would say is the better player of the two overall but lacks consistency. Norrie on the other hand is a hard worker and on home soil he won't give up for sure but i just think his last year was perfect for him and now his level just dropped. My money goes to Dimitrov @ 2.15 with efbet.

Hi guys, unfortunately something has come up at work and I can't make Royal Ascot on Friday anymore. I've got two spare tickets if anyone is interested. Drop me a message if you are. Cheers

Good effort from our guys on here with Finau, Thomas, Burns, Conners and Mitchell all finishing inside the Top 10. On another note, Justin Rose finished really impressively with a final round of 60. Definitely showing glimpses of a return to form. Third major of the year up next.

RESULTS UPDATE The bookies must have help from the one above. I don't think that even Tim Easterby could have dreamt that blinkers would help The Grey Wolf sprout wings to beat Clipsham Gold. Such is life. A couple of placed multiples produced 0.57 pts so a loss on the day of 20.43 pts. My MTD is -57.98 & YTD -215.53 Undaunted, I will continue these type of bets throughout the rest of June. I will pick up to 16 selections and back them in 0.10 ew doubles and trebles. The top 4 (based upon the shortest prices, I will place in a seperate doubles and trebles bet. I have considered doing this a 0.2 win bet instead but will have to see how this goes. I will rarely accept odds of less than 5/2 for non handicaps and 7/2 for handicaps. I will continue to place a recovery bet on each of the first four until a winner is found. No winner after the top 4 then I will just write off the loss as I have done so today. The idea behind all this is to experiment with getting myself away from backing favourites. I am focussing on in form trainers over the past 14 days and those who have a good success rate at the track over the past 5 years. I do wish I could get my hands on decent trainer stats.

1:00 Lingfield Bird for Life - @ 6.00 8:20 Nottingham Alpine Stroll - @ 3.75 Good luck folks!

I think Opelka has a really good chance of winning. De Minaur is not in great shape, and he was very much bothered by Mannarino's serve.

340 ascot Tricky race with the unknowns coming in from abroad ....could be anything but for me ...khaadem looks way overpriced at 22/1 so I'll try 10pt ew

I happened to be in Australia in January 2018 when Nature Strip first announced himself as a possible superstar so I have followed him for a long time now. He used to be all about going as fast as he could from the stalls and you wouldn't have given him a chance of staying 6f, but he is much more settled now and he can win over 5f or 6f which is crucial as Ascot's 5f is a much stiffer test then any 5f in Australia. I think he sits behind Golden Pal and then pounces once that one tires having gone hard from the start. On his best form he's the best horse in the race and if he runs up to it then he wins. The only doubt I have is that he has run below par in the past especially 1st up, but Waller knows exactly what he's doing and I suspect he has got him ready to peak here. The home team shouldn't get anywhere near him if he runs up to form.

I've had my bet365 free bet on him ?? tbh I think the top 3 must have great ew chances ...I'll be surprised if one doesn't go close tbh
