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."
 
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.
 
2:30 - Al Raya 18/1 (5 places)
3:05 - Pythion 20/1
3:40 - Sea Of Class 5/2
4:20 - Red Tea 14/1
5:00 - Zhui Feng 33/1 (5 places)
5:35 - Dylan De Vega 12/1 (4 places)
 
The opener today is one of the most wide open I recall. I'm drawn to the US raiders but it's nothing more than a supposition that they wouldn't be coming just to see the Queen!

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

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
 
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

Hope not Smokey I’m over visiting the family in a couple of weeks. Mind you I could use a cool down, it’s been boiling in Berlin for weeks and we are due to get up to 36 degrees middle of next week <yikes>

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.
