Royal Ascot 2021

Added mostahdaf at 13/2 in the st James Palace stakes

Division looks open to an improver with no stars emerging in any of the guineas
 
Which horses are you backing to win at Royal Ascot, and in which race?

I have backed a handful so far, and will probably be adding one or two more as the entries come through this week.

Current shortlist of bets placed is

Primo Bacio - Coronation Stakes (1pt - @25/1, @11/1)
Joan Of Arc - Coronation Stakes (0.75pt @20/1)
Winter Power - Kings Stand (1pt @16/1)
Subjectivist - Ascot Gold Cup (0.83pt @16/1)
Emperor Of The Sun - Ascot Gold Cup (0.83pt - @40/1, @25/1)

* St Marks Basilica looks to be the one that won’t be going, that I’ve backed for the St James Palace Stakes (8/1)

The ones I have on my radar, to back, still are

Primo Bacio - in a few antepost doubles
Golden Bell - Albany Stakes

Diligent Harry - commonwealth cup, just hope he turns up as he's missing a recent run but like his form and that he's got more improvement to go
battleground - St James palace, forgiving the awful run in the guineas

Have Permed Lord North and Love in the PoW in a few doubles/trixies
----

On radar

Castle star - Coventry, i liked Cadamosto but he's not been seen since his debut and I wouldn't be betting any two year old until NRNB when it's not clear if they'll run over 5 or 6 f.

Baron Samedi - interested to know if he turns up after winning at Belmont and what race


​​​​​​Sea Karats - ribblesdale, form of 2nd behind mystery angel and hopefully shouldn't have any wonder horses turning up in opposition

would like to back Mohaafeth for king Edward but 5/2 is a bit off-putting for now

My 3 main hopes are below:

Starman - Diamond Jubilee
Winter Power - Kings Stand
Supremacy - Commonwealth

I also really liked Pyledriver before today's news that he will very likely miss Royal Ascot. I backed him before he won the Coronation Stakes and couldn't believe he wasn't favourite for the Hardwicke afterwards. If he hadn't been in the race, Al Aasy winning would have made him an odds on favourite for the Hardwicke!

I thought I'd done well getting Mohaafeth(with a view to trade) for the King Edward whilst Haggas was telling ITV he was pulling him out the Derby. He's now being aimed at the Hampton Court...:beaten:
 
taken a punt on tiger moth for the Hardwicke at 7s with my paddy free bet
,
its where I think he should run but predicting aidan is almost impossible
 
Wesley ward stable tour is behind the paywall at racing post online, anyone know what the details about his runners is?

Trueshan would be just about my strongest bet of the week of he runs.

Sir Lamorak in the King Edward, Bielsa in the Wokingham and I'd like to see Came From The Dark run in the Diamond Jubilee.
 
You better hurry

Decs for the Tuesday will start coming through in a couple of days haha
 
Wesley ward has said that kaufymaker is his best 2yo and she runs in the coventry

Managed to nab some 4/1 before the inevitable price collapse

saldier is entered in 2 handicaps on day 1, would be very interested in him wherever he runs

Palace pier looks set to go off long odds on in a weak looking race

Battaash is declared in what looks another weak race and hopefully they have him fit and firing
 
First bet for me. Glass Slippers, Diamond Jubilee 11/1 with a boost.
 
Saw the new video about WW's Ascot team and took it that kaufymaker and golden bell were the ones that worked best in the training that was recorded on camera.

Only thing is KM's sole run was only over 4.5 furlongs. Another 1.5 is still the unknown, what's WW's record like in the Coventry?

I suppose it's reassuring for backers that she's a filly as that's what WW specialises in at ascot
EDIT - just listening to the Betfair podcast and Kevin Blake put up a stat that WW has only had winners at Ascot over 5 furlongs, nothing beyond. He did quantify that by saying WW is getting a better class of horse into his yard nowadays so it may just be a matter of time to put that stat to bed

He must be fairly bullish about her getting 6f as surely the Queen Mary, the race he mops up usually, would be her target if not
 
I see castle star has been taken out as well, that's me back to the drawing board for the Coventry.

MC Muldoon and saldier interesting for the long distance races on Tuesday
 
Anyone able to paste over the WPM update on who is running here? Paywall RP

Stratum - Ascot gold cup
Rayapour, saldier, MC Muldoon, royal illusion declared for the long distance races on Tuesday, some of the 4 will probably run on the Saturday as well
