They look like absolutely belting races. Top 2 in the market will probably take a mountain of beating in the Oaks but I like Manuela De Vega as a lively each way shout and my couple for the Derby will be Anthony Van Dyck and Bangkok. Broome is the one O'Brien principle that I couldn't have to be honest, I'm not convinced he's classy enough.
Don’t think Maqsad stayed but not good enough anyway. Manuela ran a decent race but bet Moore wishes he hadn’t gone quite so early, same as Cliffs of Moher 2 years ago

Why so confident? Seems wide open to me, but if there is a superstar in there he’s probably the one

Just on my personal figures i do, his time at Chester blitzes anything any other horse in the field has done and he was barely asked a question to do it. Backed Anapurna yesterday, waiting on this for the double.

Nice one Gerry. Good bonus ahead of the main course later.

Think Broome might be one for the St Leger

Anyone doing anything at Ascot this week? Had been planning on having a decent bet on Sea of Class but with the forecast rain will wait for her to run in the Eclipse or King George.

Am tempted to have a little on Mabs Cross tomorrow as Battaash rarely shows his best at Ascot but Blue Point is also very good.

Blue Point in the Kings Stand, King of Comedy in the St James's Palace and Star of Bengal in the Wolferton for me today.

Good luck to anyone having a punt!

Latrobe ran a good race and he’s still firmly on my radar for the rest of the season. In retrospect this trip was probably a tad sharp but he was staying on nicely and when he runs over 12 furlongs I think he’s got another nice win in him.

Managed to find the winner in the last in addition to Arizona so just ahead on the day.

Sounds as though Sea of Class may not even run after the rain, only had a brief look at tomorrow but nothings jumping out at me so may not have a bet.

Looking to go for a placepot or jackpot shout today.

With the field as it is, I can only see a placepot x32 as the way forward today. Question is, what race to only have one runner?

Does anyone feel as though there's one race with a nap today? Because for the life of me, I can't find/decide one.

Air Force Jet has to go well today you’d think, he collared Southern Hills at the death last time and he won the listed race yesterday. Any improvement would put him bang there.

Sangarius in the second. Finished just under 4 lengths behind King Of Comedy last time and if we’re honest a better jockey probably would’ve won on him the other day. Roseman beat him 1 1/2 lengths but he’d already had a couple of runs, so I think he can reverse the form with him.

I’m going against it because of the price, but Sunday Sovereign surely wins if he can reproduce the form of his last couple of runs. Smashed Arizona who won the Coventry.

Quite a few seem to be putting up King Ademar in the 5.00 as well, good form against the 2000 Guineas second. Very fair price but I wasn’t sure if the ground would suit, been withdrawn on soft previously.

Going against those two with a few in each race who seem to have good chances at a fair price but my biggest fancy today is Thomas Hobson. He’s run well in these type of races before and I’m hoping the softer ground and extra distance will give him the advantage.

Nice pick Duvva!

Going for a treble of the three o'brien/moore favs tomorrow, struggling to see any of them beaten. Japan the weakest of the three so if that gets it off to a good start I think it's on.

Also really really fancy Secret Advisor in the last for Godolphin.

Incredibly consistent horse to keep coming back and doing it in these races.

Price of Frankie’s two horses in the last two races are ridiculous

Also really really fancy Secret Advisor in the last for Godolphin.

They all look to have favourites chances tomorrow, haven’t had a look yet but I’ll probably look for a few at bigger prices.

On Secret Advisor, fairly sure Godolphin brought one back from a long break a few yrs ago at this meeting that won, so they’ve got form for it.

I won't be going mad today as it looks like a day where favourites could clean up. Japan and Hermosa in particular look like they'll take a mountain of beating and should be even shorter in my opinion. I'll probably just double them up and have a saver on Jubiloso who looked very visually impressive last time, even if the form isn't anything to go crazy for.

Been a bad week overall for the Aidan O'Brien stable despite Japan doing the business today.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

A few favs been turned over but he’s still had 5 winners including the Coventry winner and the St James Palace. Pretty sure every other trainer would be happy with that.

He’s certainly having a better week than me 😀
