Can't see a thread for this -
I thought I might look at the first "main festival" and the ante post prices.Royal Ascot
The bankers for Royal Ascot are looking like being Caravaggio (Commenwealth Cup) / Ribchester (Queen Anne) and possibly Order of St George (Ascot Gold Cup) / and Minding (Prince of Wales)
I haven't got any tasty prices on Churchill running this weekend but 4/11 looks terrific value to me in the Irish 2000 Guineas and I am very tempted to double him up with all 4 of these in some form or another. (I would also put Churchill in as a banker in the St James Palace at Royal Ascot but I know plenty would fancy the few that followed him home in the Guineas to reverse the form)
I haven't really done much ante post on the flat before, other than maybe a week or so before if I am aware something will drastically shorten.
What do people think, on the day will you be able to get:
Caravaggio 5/4
Ribchester 15/8
Order of St George 2/1
Minding 7/4
I would see Ribchester as the one most likely to shorten, tiny chance Minding will appear and Ribchester has now beaten everything he could be up against quite soundly
Caravaggio looked a champion sprinter last year and showed a cracking turn of foot to win at the weekend, albeit you'd have been extremely unhappy if he hadn't.
Treble with Churchill kicking it off this weekend... will keep me warm until Royal Ascot starts I reckon
