14:30 Queen Anne Stakes – Baaeed & Real World 1-2 in that exact order

BAAEED is almost unbackable, and the sensible bet is the forecast to beat REAL WORLD, as he did in the Lockinge. The latter was meeting his first defeat on turf there, and is better than the others.

15:05 Coventry Stakes – Persian Force

The draw is an unknown, but mid/high tends to fare better than low, and Brocklesby winner PERSIAN FORCE ticks all the boxes. He will stalk those burning up the track, and ought to have more left to swoop past in the latter stages.

15:40 King’s Stand Stakes – Mooneista

Nature Strip is the one to beat here, but he can throw in a poor run, and this experience is new for him, so I prefer to play each-way, and MOONEISTA will appreciate the drop to a stiff five after getting mugged late over 6f at the Curragh. She ran well in the Commonwealth Cup last year, but the shorter trip will see her in a better light.

16:20 St James’s Palace Stakes – Berkshire Shadow

Coroebus is the best horse here, but an inside draw means he needs a bit of luck to get a run, and that makes each-way betting more attractive. I backed Lusail and BERKSHIRE SHADOW in the Guineas and both caught the eye at Newmarket. The latter took the Coventry here a year ago, and is drawn to avoid trouble, so just gets the vote.

17:00 Ascot Stakes – Arcadian Sunrise

The Chester Cup is the key piece of form, and while I’m tempted to stick with Coltrane after he was narrowly denied there, he’s 3lb worse off with fourth-placed ARCADIAN SUNRISE, and John Queally’s charge can turn the tables with the excellent Harry Davies claiming 5lb.

17:35 Wolferton Stakes – Majestic Dawn

MAJESTIC DAWN owes me nothing, and ran his rivals ragged at this level on his latest start at Goodwood. He could repeat that feat if getting loose again, which is very possible. Of the others, Tasman Bay can progress again this year, and is feared most, assuming that pair don’t get into a battle for the lead.

18:10 Copper Horse Stakes – Not So Sleepy

NOT SO SLEEPY is a law unto himself, and if he’s not in the mood he won’t exert himself, but he has shown his best form over hurdles at this track, and if he’s close to the front coming out of the opening bend, he will gallop on relentlessly.
