Tumbleweed King

Stratford: 
2.53  Francky Du Berlais ran a nice race on return over hurdles and looks likely to be competitive. Templehills looks too short a price, for all he's back with his old trainer and on an attractive mark, the form has yet to suggest a win is close. The one that catches the eye at a nice price is SMUGGLERS BLUES back in trip to 2 and a half mile after failing to stay 3 miles last time.  Smugglers Blues 16/1 betfair    1.43:  Fergal O'Brien is in great form at the moment and his PROJECT MARS can continue the good run here. Possible danger may be Crocodile Dundee but not sure his last win was that strong. While the booking of Richard Johnson looks interesting for A Book Of Intrigue, the horses hurdle form isn't great and will need an improvement. Project Mars 3/1 bet 365   3.28  GETARIVER can take advantage of running against mares again and put a very average return behind her. Pogo I Am isn't consistent enough for full trust and I'd be more wary of Green Or Black with that man Johnson aboard. Getariver 5/1 william hill

The way Raaeq destroyed the field in his last race, surely there’s more to come. Bet if the day for me. 

2-30 Ascot WONDERFUL TONIGHT
This three-year-old daughter of Le Havre is extremely lightly raced. She has talent in abundance though and a fortnight ago, she made just about all to win the Qatar Prix De Royallieu at Paris Longchamp in testing conditions. She looks all set to encounter similar ground here this afternoon and with trainer David Menusier in excellent form she commands utmost respect. Will Buick takes over in the saddle and given that she has won over longer trips, he will likely make the most of her proven stamina. Wonderful Tonight is set to receive seven pounds from her male counterparts including Antonio De Vega and and Dame Mallot. Every single pound will count on ground this soft and if finding for pressure, she may well be able to grind them into submission. Many of her own sex who line up here are woefully out of form. She still has further improvement to come and she has to be high on any shortlist.
 
3-40 Ascot ADDEYBB
A globetrotting winning machine is the best way to describe the William Haggas trained six-year-old. This ten furlong trip certainly brings out the best in him and with three wins from four starts under his belt this year, he is remarkably consistent. Two of those victories came out in Australia in the spring where he picked up wins in the Ranvet Stakes at Rosehill before also scoring at Randwick in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He returned to the UK in time for Royal Ascot and following his exertions abroad, he found only one too strong in Lord North. Given that he probably needed to reacclimatise, that effort had to be marked up. That proved to be the case when on his subsequent start he lined up for the Doonside Cup at Ayr. Despite coming under strong pressure a couple of furlongs out, he fought back bravely and got the better of Lord Glitters by just under a length. The form of that race has already been well advertised at the fourth placed Euchen Glen has come out to win subsequently. Tom Marquand has built up an excellent relationship with this son of Pivotal and they have to rate as massive dangers to all. He has been given a two month break to prepare for this and his trainer can reap the rewards.
4-15 Ascot KEATS
Last seen out just over a fortnight ago, Keats was given a positive ride by Seamie Heffernan in a listed race at Cork. He came under a drive a couple of furlongs from home but the son of Galileo found plenty for pressure. He readily swept to the front to beat Free Solo by a little over a length. He looks to be another that is improving just at the right time and may be able to take full advantage of many rivals who have just not shown their true form this season. With the ground likely to be just as he likes it and now with Ryan Moore on board, the pair can end the season on a high for all at Ballydoyle.
