Royal Ascot 5.00
By Flat Turf UK (The Advisor)
ROYAL ASCOT 5.00 - Ascot Stakes - 2 miles 4 furlongs - 20 run - Good to Firm
As you'd expect given their ability to prepare one for this type of race The Irish raiders dominate the top end of the market with Cape Gentleman, M C Muldoon and Just Hubert all prominent. (Of those our Irish Expert Sean most prefers JUST HUBERT)
The Advisor however is very strong on the Claims of 2 UK runners with proven form in the Race or this type of race and proven stamina and both of whom have had a nice pipe-opener at Chester and who caught the eye there.
COEUR DE LION won a sub-standard renewal last year but has strong claims once again and TRUMPET MAN comes from a Yard that always likes a tilt at this race and whose front running types are usually very adept at stretching the field and running perfect pace fractions. We'll be very disappointed if both don't place at least and give us a nice net return on the race to enhanced place Odds.
TIP - COEUR DE LION / Tracker - TRUMPET MAN (Shrapnel Horse -: 18 Just Hubert @ 11/1)
