Final Day 3 Royal Ascot Cheat Sheet

I can’t get away from Whistlejacket. He will probably 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 must be extra enchancment to come back.

The Norfolk Stakes over 5f begins the day and Whistlejacket will probably 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 situations, now seems the one to beat.

Binadham (each-way) seemed 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 situations, he confirmed what he can do on the Curragh in Listed firm after that when quickening up nicely.

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

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

Poniros was an excellent second within the London Gold Cup this season to King’s Gambit (runs within the 5.40 immediately) and nonetheless seems moderately nicely 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 score of 92 may show very lenient for the Haggas yard that gained this final 12 months additionally.

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

GILDED WATER is bettering 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 Purple final trip at Lingfield. She paid the worth for making an attempt to be the one to chase down You Obtained To Me. I not too long ago spoke with Kieran Shoemark and he actually fancies her, so I’ll maintain 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 incorrect to this point profitable over a mile after which 1m 2f. She ought to take this step as much as 1m 4f in her stride additionally based mostly on her pedigree.

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

The regally-bred DIAMOND RAIN seemed a wise 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 completed.

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 profitable this in 2022 however has returned in type and might regain his Ascot Gold Cup crown.

I’ve to take Kyrpios on. GREGORY is a superb each-way wager for me. He landed final 12 months’s Queen’s Vase on good floor. His comeback effort this season at York was eye catching and he’s positive 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 profitable each begins this time period suggests he’s pretty much as good as ever.

Comply with Me has a very good attract stall 27 for Ross O’Sullivan and Shane Foley. He’s gained 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 gained a handicap at Newmarket final month. He’s lightly-raced, has an excellent 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 best kind for a big-field contest like this. A powerful gallop will assist his hold-up ways.

I cherished VOLTERRA when he gained at Newmarket final time and the very fact he was nicely backed steered the crew thought he was nicely handicapped. There must be hundreds extra to come back regardless of a 9lb weight hike.

VOLTERRA has had the type of his Newmarket handicap debut success boosted and may 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’d like to see Bracken’s Snigger ship on his promise however King’s Gambit is the decide. He seemed to have improved bodily over the winter and gained 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 Snigger has proven a number of promise on his two runs to this point this season and stays progressive. King’s Gambit seems the primary hazard based mostly on his Newbury win.

I see no purpose why French raider FIRST LOOK gained’t run large for Andre Fabre and James Doyle. The French Derby runner-up stays nicely and is frivolously raced so must 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.

Recent (each-way) has gained 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 nicely at York final time over a mile. He’s somewhat increased within the weights than when positioned on this final season however ticks a number of bins at a pleasant value.

Strong course kind and the fast floor situations may help Tacarib Bay (each-way) hit the body and with a 3lb claimer on board he seems nicely handicapped.

GORAK (each-way) was removed from disgraced at this assembly final 12 months off a excessive score when twelfth on this race rated 105. He’s now right down to 96 and has run very well in two massive handicaps this season at Newmarket.

ENGLISH OAK put up a most spectacular show at Haydock and he’s comfortably essentially the most progressive type on this area. Divine Libra can also be going the best method.
