Unless they turn the sprinklers on it'll be gd to firm in places by next tuesday with the temp being close to 20 degrees every day between now and then
Yep. They'll start watering soon to aim for Good, G/F in places at worst. Some showers about on Wednesday but that's it. Great for those attending.
Just checked Going Stick readings. Straight course is 7.9 so on the fast side of Good. Round course is 6.7 so on the slow side of Good.
Be careful re track records being broken this year MOM. Ascot have had fully 25mm of rain in the last 7 days so there may well be a fair bit of moisture left in the ground despite the favourable warm weather outlook.
It's good ground all over atm

The Aussie sprinters will push Wes Ward’s all the way, they are top class… Nature Strip v Golden Pal is one to savour with two of the best world jocks squaring up. I like the Coolmore double myself - Golden Pal & Home Affairs… both could do with a Royal Ascot G1 on their breeding CVs
Like my Australian racing when it’s the big meetings and that Nature Strip is a proper proper tool. Him and Golden Pal will be taking each other on from the first 2 yards. Be some race to watch because they’re going to be going stupidly fast. I’ll be requesting the track record to be broken there in all honesty. A bet that I nearly had land with Lady Aurelia a few years ago but Velasquez eased her down before the line and it missed out by 0.07 of a second.
I'm really taken by Love Reigns for the Queen Mary, albeit she is rather short her win at Keeneland looked magnificent
Always easy to get carried away with those American fillies seeing as they’re so big compared to our 2 year olds but she actually just looked blisteringly fast. I saw somewhere on the figures she’s the best 2 year old to have ever ran at the track, and easily so apparently. I like her.
For me the absolute NAP of the week is Persian Force for the Coventry at 4/1. I think he’s very very good. I can’t believe he’s not fav. Yes Noble Style looked good at Ascot but both of Persian Forces runs in my opini9n should have him as favourite. I reckon he’s a 2/1 poke.
Like the two Wesley Ward horses for the sprints as well. Campanelle at 7/1 certainly seems reasonable enough. Golden Pal not too exciting a price but I can see him blowing them away.
Yet to get stuck into too much yet but will have a proper look at the Tuesday later. First week of the flat I've looked forward to this season to be honest

Fair play to those of you who put as much effort into flat ante post as you do NH, personally I’ll buy the bible each morning and see what I can find.
A little disheartening that 13 races currently have the fav at 3/1 or shorter with several odds on, I hope that doesn’t mean a chunk of the racing is uncompetitive…
I'd say other than baaeed, coroebus and maybe homeless songs they will all be worth taking on
Royal Ascot is good but for me the flat properly gets going when the 3yos start taking on the older horses
"He'll go straight to Ascot, there's nothing else," King said. "It's still good, good to firm and it looks like it could dry out even more by the time we get there too.
"I'm happy with him, but I'm not prepared to take the risk on the run-up to Ascot. If that had been the ground at Ascot I probably might have run him"
