Royal Ascot 2019

...thought Moon of Love was an eye catcher at Redcar today. I understand Fahey thinks a lot of it and i’ll be backing if it’s Ascot bound.

Cashed out lady Pauline queen Mary. As injured.
Would suggest anyone else does the same before it comes out.
 
Thank-you Scoob, that’s another virtual pint I owe you... cashed out and topped up on Chasing Dreams, who must start a strong favourite now. I love the breeding on this horse and the form of her maiden couldn’t have worked out better.
 
Hopefully Good Birthday turns up for a handicap. He was an eye catcher at Newbury lto and it wouldn't surprise me if he found quite a bit of improvement when stepped up in trip.

He's going to win a decent handicap this season, I just hope it's next week.
 
Mustashry in opening Queen Anne looks laid out by Sir Michael along with Queen Power in the Ribblesdale who should start a hot fav with Pink Dogwood missing the race. Arc fancy Ghaiyyath will win the Hardwicke especially as Fav Crystal Ocean is targeting the POW.
 
Sky NRNB on the G1s

Is Pink Dogwood definitely missing the Ribblesdale? And i reckon Crystal Ocean will go to the hardwicke before another tilt at the king George.

Yep, staying in Ireland for Pretty Polly. Sir M favours POW this time. Not set in stone but he's got plenty of other darts to throw at Hardwicke this season.
 
San donato won't run in the st James palace stakes. Haven't backed him myself but anyone should cash out if available that has.
 
Looks like Skybet are trying to get Bataash beat, second boost I’ve seen him in
 
Good to see this thread doing well!

Bit late, but i think Magical is + was a great bet. On at 7/2, there are ground concerns for a lot in the race, and it might even see SOC dodge the race. I would be sure Haggas wouldn't want to run his star on soft ground on seasonal reappearance.

Nevermind the fact Magical is racefit + has form very much upsides SOC. SOC also has to prove she's trained on.

Totally agree. Think RA will come too soon for SOC. All about the ARC for her. Crystal Ocean for me in POW.
 
The current going is good to soft, soft in places but the weather forecast
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656992
makes you look at good ground at worst next week.

With the way Ascot drains, I'd expect it to be Good, Good/Firm in places by the time the meeting starts. Very little rain forecast from here on in and lots of sunshine, decent temps and drying wind.

Think he will blow out again. Best fresh and should be kept for another crack in Paris in October. Blue Point should be fav in my book and looks a good thing. 3/1 is huge !!!!
 
So sad re Lady Kaya. Hate this game sometimes. RIP.

The track doesn't necessarily suit but I'd still take Battaash to beat Blue Point. Mabs Cross is the one I'm interested in at the prices.
