Royal Ascot 24th June 2023

Probably the most difficult puzzle to solve on the final day. Orazio heads the market currently and does look progressive , but has gone up nearly a stone in the weights for 2 recent win’s.

Khanjar looks well handicapped , but the adding of new headgear spells a note of caution.

At a decent price I thought King’s Lynn for the King might provide another Royal winner , he did not get a clear run at this in 2021 and back here again looks interesting.

Mr Wagyu is an admiral old stick who is back on a decent mark and a bold run would come as no shock. The same can be said for old Summerghand who at the age of 9 is still capable.

Saint Lawrence was another to catch my eye of a decent looking mark & was thought good enough to contest the Group 1 King’s Stand last year for his old yard

Advised Bet Saint Lawrence - Each-way 25/1

Royal Ascot 22nd June 2023

I can’t be having Coltrane as a Group 1 performer having only just got the on the wrong side of the gallant but far from top class Trueshan in October , yes he won with something to spare last time out , but that was a Group 3 and this is far deeper.

Eldar Eldarov is the proven Group 1 performer but he was very disappointing back in October and has questions at this trip for me.

There are plenty that we know plenty about , the one unexposed type is Courage Mon Ami who has yet to come out of second gear in three runs and three wins so far. He looks to have abundant potential for this distance and looks a solid proposition

Advised Bet Courage Mon Ami - Each Way 7/1
