Day 2 - Wednesday - Royal Ascot 2020

I'm struggling to keep up with all my bets.

Added Oleksander 40/1 ew in the 2.25. Well beaten in 4th by Kipps at Haydock but stayed on again in the last 100 yards. The step up in trip looks to suit on that run and well drawn in stall 18. He was 2nd fav at Haydock and I'm banking on him improving for the run. He's 10 times the price of Kipps and that looks too big and has sucked me in.

Big price each way Trixie: Oleksander 40s, Fox Champion 33s, Hortzader 28s

Double of Ouzo and Bell Rock. Stole Mayos Yankee as well.
 
Hoping for some luck today as a few I've backed have shortened in price. Ranch Hand is now favourite after being tipped up by lots of the main tipsters. The last time I saw the likes of this was when Agrotera won the Sandringham 2 years ago. I promised myself afterwards(having not backed her)that the next time I saw something like this I would back it blindly. Luckily, my money was already on but I will top up to my 3pts max stake. However, I'm also going to have a saver on Fujaira Prince as his form from last year just can't be ignored and he surely can't be out the top 5?

Joined in with the 40/1 Ebor antepost bet, on Ranch Hand.
I backed him last Friday, in a Wednesday Handicap Trixie, at 12/1 for todays race, so I have my fingers crossed for todays races.
I also like Alright Sunshine for todays last race.
 
Main singles today are:

Alternative Fact EW
Arthurian Fable EW
Baltic Baron EW

Have also done the Maydanny/Montatham double that someone made a good case for and waiting on Japan for a nice double with Circus Maximus.

TBH I'd just settle for Japan doing the business!!

Think I will probably leave the last 2 races alone unless the day is going well.
 
Ranch Hand looks plenty short enough coming off a very disappointing run (were there any excuses) and looking as if he needs the rain to arrive.
 
Place laid the Queens horse, First Receiver, in the 1:50.
 
Well that was dreadful
 
Gutted, Dean Street Doll run a cracker, just on the wrong side of the draw unfortunately.

High draws needed!
 
Good luck pal! If Maydanny doesn't win and Ouzo does the business I'll be happy for you lot!

Your lad was on the wrong side too Charlie, I'm on low numbers in the 3.35. May need a rethink
 
Hate watching those big field flat handicaps, didn't have a clue what was going on
 
Added Presidential 1:15 today, 28/1 E/W 6 places, plus 44's on the exchanges for small amounts with a view to trade out that position.

Ended 40/1 and finished 6th, lovely bit of profit on that one, had completely forgot about it tbh!
