Re: Royal Ascot 2014 ~ Day 5 Saturday 21st Diamond Jubilee stakes is my main even over the 5 days of racing, and the selection has always been a Fav horse of mine. The race was won last year by Lethal Force under Sir Adam Kirby and that jockey lines up again along with last years trainer Mr Clive Cox, however that Combo and the rest of the field really will have to be on their A' Game if they want to challenge the selection. Trainer Mr Roger Varian has never hid how he feels about this 5yr old chestnut horse and even though he's only won the 3 times from 11 starts there is no getting away he is a touch special, he's only had the one start in 2014 that being at HQ where he came home a very powerful 3rd, i backed him that day and yes was a bit disappointed that jockey Paul Hanagan never got him going just a little bit sooner, nothing worse than a horse that's catching catching catching BUT just cant get there ''ON TIME'' That was then and this is now and I'm pretty sure that Paul Hanagan would have been disappointed in ''himself'' for not sealing that race but will have learned from it. The horse in question has a FANTASTIC real athletic rear on him and one of the strongest necks i've ever seen, the ground should be absolutely perfect for him and if given just the right amount of cover and if Hanagan can get the timing spot on they must be involved at the finish. Roger Varian ''so far this year'' has yet to bag a winner but this is by far his best chance of a winner, i feel the prep race back at HQ would have him spot on and the yard have been a little hush hush about the selections chances, but from that last 3rd place effort at Newmarket ''17th April'' on unfavoured ground all that's came is steady cash. I can see him going off about 7/2 or maybe even 3/1 and they prices in my eyes are VERY generous, but some of us have been backing him anti post and the only thing that gets them beat is TRAFFIC, he'll come late, he'' come fast, he'll ?WIN.
