  • Royal Ascot 2018

    Main Desire put in a nice performance today considering she had been of the track for a year and was very weak in the betting.

    The Kings Stand or the Commonwealth Cup appear to be her target and I think she is a player in either.

      You landed a nice couple of touches in at Royal Ascot last year didn't you FM?

      Royal Hunt Cup springs to mind?

      What are you ante-post plays so far?

        My only bets so far are:
        Main Desire Commonwealth Cup 20/1
        Sioux Nation 7/1 Commonwealth Cup


        Crack on Crack on put up a really good performance at Haydock considering he still isn't settling in his races. If he can sneak into the Brittania I think he'll run a big race.

        Hors de combat interests me the the Royal Hunt Cup. I still think he's going to will a big field handicap this season.

        You on anything yet Kev?

          Have to say that the 3/1 Bataash for the Kings Stand looks OK, lost 4l fluffing the start yesterday and still got up, I don't follow flat AP but unless the USA/Aussies are bringing one of their hotpots over he will take all the beating...

            Bless Him did me a favour at Royal Ascot last season in the Britannia and he's out at Nottingham tomorrow. Still lightly raced; it'll be interesting to see how he goes after 9 months off the track, with an eye on the Royal Hunt Cup in 3 weeks time.

              Was also very impressed by Bataash and might be a believer this year (never fancied him last year and backed Marsha who I was a big fan off)

              Lady Aurelia will reoppose again but she was disappointing on her reappearance, hopefully it’s as good a finish as last year!

                  Even as a staunch NH fan I must admit I do enjoy Royal ascot so any antepost picks are much appreciated; seems Battash is very popular! Is AOB’s in the Norfolk a good thing?

                    Same here Faugheen , I don't know which horse your'e talking about , can only see about 4 horses priced up on oddschecker at
                    the moment .. Honestly ,. more luck than judgement with me , but enjoy a Saturday bet and the big meetings.
                    Never been to Royal Ascot meeting , but maybe go to York in August for the Ebor meeting . went to the
                    Derby yesterday, Had 3 winners and dee ex bee in the big race 20-1. Happy days.

                      I think Harry Potter has a good thing in the Coventry, also think Sioux Nation will be hard to beat in the Commonwealth Cup - he looks like a beast of a horse and is another by scat daddy.

                        Wind Chimes Coronation Stakes. Fabre confirmed today this is the plan. On at 16, 14, now 8. I was mightily impressed with that French 1000 Guineas run.

                          Pouvre Magique running at newcastle tonight -8-15 , currently 16-1 for the Royal hunt cup. , could shorten up if he wins.

                              I've backed this one for the Hunt Cup but thought he'd sneak in off a mark of 94 but looking at the entries he probably needs a penalty to get a run.
