Final Day 3 Royal Ascot Cheat Sheet

I can’t get away from Whistlejacket. He shall be very exhausting to beat for Aidan O’Brien. I like the very fact he has had two runs regardless of being crushed on debut. There needs to be extra enchancment to come back.

The Norfolk Stakes over 5f begins the day and Whistlejacket shall be an enormous gamers on this for Aidan O’Brien. He beat the re-opposing Arizona Blue in a Listed Race on the Curragh once more and with the faster floor circumstances, now seems the one to beat.

Binadham (each-way) appeared actually good on debut regardless of racing keenly. He’s been talked up by his younger coach as an improver.

Absolutely WHISTLEJACKET will take all of the beating for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore. I like the very fact he has had two runs and whereas crushed on debut in determined circumstances, he confirmed what he can do on the Curragh in Listed firm after that when quickening up properly.

It’s actually exhausting to flee the claims of WHISTLEJACKET, who’s the clear decide on kind. His  brother Little Large Bear misplaced on debut on the Curragh earlier than  successful right here.

Gallantly is drawn in stall 13. He was spectacular when successful at Chester final time and he’s working off a good mark of 88.

Poniros was second within the London Gold Cup this season to King’s Gambit (runs within the 5.40 in the present day) and nonetheless seems moderately properly handicapped. He’s a lot better off on the weights with the re-opposing Persica (who bolted up at Epsom subsequently) whereas the third positioned Chantilly – who had a run going into the Newbury conflict – is among the many market leaders.

Gilded Water has taken a step ahead on every racecourse run and was spectacular at Chepstow. His ranking of 92 may show very lenient for the Haggas yard that received this final yr additionally.

PONIROS (each-way) shall be exhausting to kick out the body after he stayed on strongly behind the gifted King’s Gambit (runs afterward this card) at Newbury final time in a race wherein Chantilly was third and Persica fourth.

GILDED WATER is enhancing in leaps and bounds, trying higher the additional he went when powering clear for an authoritative success at Chepstow three weeks in the past.

Danielle was behind You Obtained To Me and Rubies Are Pink final trip at Lingfield. She paid the value for making an attempt to be the one to chase down You Obtained To Me. I lately spoke with Kieran Shoemark and he actually fancies her, so I’ll hold her on facet.

Diamond Rain is a worthy favorite however the Lingfield Oaks Trial winner You Obtained To Me (each-way) – who subsequently completed fourth within the Epsom Oaks – seems a little bit of worth.

Diamond Rain hasn’t put a foot improper to this point successful over a mile after which 1m 2f. She ought to take this step as much as 1m 4f in her stride additionally primarily based on her pedigree.

We didn’t see the true FOREST FAIRY within the Oaks at Epsom and she or he would possibly bounce again to her Chester kind. She’s clearly fairly good and stays properly.

The regally-bred DIAMOND RAIN appeared a sensible prospect when following up her debut win in a Newbury Listed occasion final month. Over this 1m 4f journey, she’s a very interesting candidate.

The Gold Cup seems Kyprios‘ to lose when you think about the extent of kind that he has produced. He simply will get the job carried out.

Kyprios is the almost definitely winner, however my decide is Vauban (each-way). He ought to enhance from his seasonal re-appearance at York when second to Giavelloto, his first begin disappointing within the Melbourne Cup. He was a run-away winner of the Copper Horse Handicap right here final season over 1m 6f.

Kyprios has had a stop-start marketing campaign since successful this in 2022 however has returned in fashion and might regain his Ascot Gold Cup crown.

I’ve to take Kyrpios on. GREGORY is a good each-way wager for me. He landed final yr’s Queen’s Vase on good floor. His comeback effort this season at York was eye catching and he’s certain to remain.

KYPRIOS suffered an interrupted marketing campaign in 2023 however he was a high-class stayer the season earlier than, the primary of his 4 Group 1 wins coming on this race. The best way he formed when successful each begins this time period suggests he’s nearly as good as ever.

Observe Me has a very good attract stall 27 for Ross O’Sullivan and Shane Foley. He’s received on his two begins on the Curragh and his newest victory was actually spectacular as he was trapped in a pocket and needed to be courageous to get out and win.

A 1m cavalry cost the place connections look to have this in thoughts for Volterra (each-way) since he received a handicap at Newmarket final month. He’s lightly-raced, has attract stall 21 and might hit the locations at the very least.

Skukuza is held in excessive regard by coach Ed Dunlop and appears the perfect sort for a big-field contest like this. A powerful gallop will assist his hold-up ways.

I cherished VOLTERRA when he received at Newmarket final time and the very fact he was properly backed instructed the staff thought he was properly handicapped. There needs to be masses extra to come back regardless of a 9lb weight hike.

VOLTERRA has had the type of his Newmarket handicap debut success boosted and would possibly show the reply to a usually wide-open renewal.

King’s Gambit seems to have extra potential and has a pleasant attract stall seven. He beat Poniros within the London Gold Cup at Newbury final trip and he can construct on that.

I might like to see Bracken’s Giggle ship on his promise however King’s Gambit is the decide. He appeared to have improved bodily over the winter and received the London Gold Cup impressively. The 15:05 (above) may frank that kind once more, so he simply will get the nod.

Richard Hughes’ cost Brackens Giggle has proven a number of promise on his two runs so far this season and stays progressive. King’s Gambit seems the principle hazard primarily based on his Newbury win.

I see no motive why French raider FIRST LOOK received’t run large for Andre Fabre and James Doyle. The French Derby runner-up stays properly and is flippantly raced so needs to be nonetheless getting higher with racing.

KING’S GAMBIT made a mockery of a gap mark of 93 on return at Newbury final month and is fancied to take the step as much as sample firm in his stride on the expense of French-raider First Look.

Contemporary (each-way) has received at Ascot over 7f a few occasions and he’s off a mark of 92, which may be very workable.

A 29-runner 7f handicap to finish the day and Northern Specific (each-way) ran very properly at York final time over a mile. He’s slightly greater within the weights than when positioned on this final season however ticks a number of containers at a pleasant worth.

Stable course kind and the fast floor circumstances can assist Tacarib Bay (each-way) hit the body and with a 3lb claimer on board he seems properly handicapped.

GORAK (each-way) was removed from disgraced at this assembly final yr off a excessive ranking when twelfth on this race rated 105. He’s now all the way down to 96 and has run very well in two huge handicaps this season at Newmarket.

ENGLISH OAK put up a most spectacular show at Haydock and he’s comfortably probably the most progressive kind on this discipline. Divine Libra can be going the precise means.
