Alex Hammond today

"The Prince Of Wales's Stakes is the day-two feature and is a mile and a quarter Group 1.

I'm hoping Sea Of Class can do it for the girls. William Haggas' Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe runner-up shares 5/2 favouritism in Sky Bet's market with another filly, Magical, with the latter 3-3 for Aidan O'Brien this season and the former making her seasonal reappearance.

I adore Sea Of Class who ran a brilliant race when just beaten a short neck by Enable at ParisLongchamp despite breaking from one of the widest draws. There should be so much more to come from her this season and you'll hear me roaring her home from your living room if she looms up with a fighting chance.

The Royal Hunt Cup provides its usual conundrum as we try and find a bit of value in this mile handicap over Ascot's straight course.

New Graduate doesn't fall into that category as he's Sky Bet's 6/1 favourite after cruising to victory at Ripon on his handicap debut back in April. He was raised 15lbs for that, but it's very strong form with nice winners coming out of the race. The handicapper hasn't had a chance to see him since and he's a worthy favourite for trainer James Tate.

The inclination is to look for something that looks better value, but I'll take a 6/1 winner, so I'm sticking with him."

 

Ascot

16,20 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes

I Can Fly 5/1

 

Waldgeist to win the prince of Wales. Won a group one lto at Longchamp will like the ground. Sea of class probably won’t run and I’ll have to see if magical wears a nose band.

3:05 - Pythion 20/1
3:40 - Sea Of Class 5/2

2.30 Kimari
3.40 Waldgeist

 

Brilliant race isn’t it, just been looking through it and looks so strong.

 

It's been a beautiful day today. Sun out all day, not a rain drop to be seen.

 

Ascot

This might not go down to well with Barney but bollocks...

Have been given a few for the week ahead and I am well in advance of the going date so you can all make
your own minds up ( not that you don't anyway) and do the studying.

Friday Thirsk 17.10 Harry's Ridge
Friday Ascot 17.35 Kasperenko
Saturday Ascot 17.00 Maid in India ( gave this also when won last time out )

I'll just go a small stake Patent and see how it goes

Morning

2.20 Hamilton-Matera @ 5-2 [Bet 365] BOG

Nice debut run

 

And after yesterday's baking sunshine I wake up to a downpour. I think that's all the summer we're getting up here in Yorkshire

 

Waldgeist to win the prince of Wales. Won a group one lto at Longchamp will like the ground. Sea of class probably won’t run

 

Ascot

14,30 Good Vibes is a non runner, so

Mighty Spirit 33/1 e/w

 

The interesting one in this has to be Zabeel Prince who also won a group 1 at Longchamp and will like the ground. On official ratings he has a fair bit to find on the likes of Magical and Crystal Ocean,but with the ground described as soft- and possibly turning to heavy- it is possible that there could be a turn up.

 

Haha poor you! Weather has been ****e last couple of weeks, rain and storms apart from yesterday. Hope it picks up for your visit
