Redoubtable's June selections

[Redoubtable]

Montaff may produce a shock in the Ascot Gold Cup. He gives the impression that he needs a stronger test of stamina than he has had before. His form in two-mile group races on his last two starts is respectable, as he was less than 5 lengths behind the winner in both. Those races were not run at a strong pace and he lacked the speed required in the circumstances. Given a good pace today there is fair chance that he can be involved in the finish at enormous odds. Tastahil was a close second in the Chester Cup from a bad draw, running off a handicap rating of 108, which is good enough form to make him a realistic contender in the Ascot Gold Cup this afternoon. This horse will be suited the extra distance today and will be running on strongly when many of the others have had enough. At 50/1 he is great value.
