GGW. Both have chances on their form with Nocturn. However, I think you've got them the wrong way round. Enrol was all over Nocturn at the finish and was obviously crying out for a stiffer track. Ascot and the extra furlong should be right up this improving filly's street. The best price 7/1 (Bet365) must be taken (5 places given). She could go off as short as 7/2.
Worried I've done my dough on Just The Judge here, went in like a bull in a china shop and backed it blind without giving a damn about the draw or opposition. Two for Two in the Wolferton to get me out of this big hole I've dug myself

I can just see C4 talking today's racing up, as per usual, but maybe not so eloquently as how George has it here... Good on yer Gorgeous...
I'm Secretly (well not any more) confident that REHN'S NEST can go close at a nice price in the coronation street stakes. If you look at her run in the 1000 guinees, first time she had encountered quick ground, came from a bad draw, a very slow start out of the stalls and some trouble in running to get within 1 1/2L of Just the Judge and closing at the line. Also on a similar line of enquiry Big Break could go close with the rail draw. Rehn's nest EW @ 16/1 biggest bet of the week Tricast: 12-2-3
With all the hi-tec help they get nowadays, they're a damn sight better than they were in the old days QMII. How our pilots ever got home during WW2 after the crap they used to hear from the met officers is beyond me! (Am ex. RAF, so I do have a fair idea..).
The draw has definately tempered my enthusiasm for Just The Judge, especially in such a big field. She'll have to be very good indeed to win from there, but I haven't given up hope. She's got the right pilot, and the 4/1 allows for an e/w insurance policy. Also, her main rival on form is drawn one inside her in 16, and the big field should ensure a decent pace.
Really fancy Just The Judge but Guineas horses just always seem to struggle at Ascot after, even Frankel's closest race to getting beat was the Ascot race after, so Big Break for me. Maureen wouldn't surprise me either even though it did run in the guineas' it looked like it was purposely held on too. So win on Big break and e/w on Maureen for me. Also an e/w dabble on Thunderball in the last Good luck to all lads
Morning all. Today's lucky 15 is. R.Ascot-3-05=Hillstar, 3-45=Pavlosk, 4-25=Labarinto, 5-00=Baihas. Good luck to all.
Not had the best of weeks with the darts, but we plod on as they say... 2.30 - Wedding Ring, 12/1 3.05 - Hillstar, 10/1 3.45 - Just The Judge, 4/1 4.25 - Forgotten Voice, 11/1 5.00 - Nichols Canyon, 9/1 5.35 - Democretes, 16/1 Betting on none of em as i couldn't hit a cows backside with a banjo at the moment...
Can't quite believe Joyeuse is still available at 4/1 at the moment. If her last piece of work is anything to go by (descibed by a work watcher as "barnstorming performance that left her workmate trailing"), this race could be a procession.
15:45 Ascot - Maureen (e/w @ 16/1 generally available). (Have to stay loyal to Maureen, who I do believe is a very good filly. Disappointed LTO in Ireland and does have a lot to prove, must admit. Last fling of the dice at this Royal Ascot for me; don't have to bring out my gleaming Hara Kiri sword thank goodness, but will have to consider becoming a paid-up member of ROTO's private investment advice bureau ).
I have a question for you knowledgeable people out there which really should be self explanatory but I can not work it out and why anyone would need to do it. What does it mean when a horse is supplemented for £1000's and why is it necessary. Obviously thinking about Pavlosk

Niksboy - It means the horse was not entered at the first declaration stage and has not paid the appropriate entry fees. In order to still take part in the race connections can pay a supplementary fee and be allowed to enter at a later stage. This fee is usually quite high and so this only happens when connections are confident. Sometimes a horse surprises connections with it's progress and a horse that originally looked only a handicapper can progress later to show real improvement.
