Vazirabad out of the Gold Cup
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
That's a shame, he was tempting me.
I've added Lightning Spear ew in the Queen Anne. The likely ground next week will suit and I can't get away from his run in the QEII last year where he was on the wrong part of the track here and wasn't far off Ribchester on the line.
Not pulled the trigger on anything aside from Next Stage in the handicaps yet but will back Middle Kingdom if he runs in the King George V. I took this horse off my tracker after Johnnie G's comments after his win at the Craven Meeting as he was talking Dante/Derby but he never went that route. Hopefully he'll run.
Lightning Spear is pretty much a must for any ante post e/w accas.

Hard to see him out of the 3.
Koditime dropping back to 5 would interest me.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
So Mi Dar ruled out of The meeting - If Jack Hobbs can't take care of this field next week I'll be severely disappointed.
Declarationofpeace cut to 6/1 joint favouritism with Brother Bear, Depending on the vibes with the Jessie runner of course I can see the O'Brien thing going of 5/2- 3/1.
Ulysees isn't much of a price but he looked top drawer on his seasonal debut and I expect him to play at the top table this year. That said I wasn't interested in him at a short price for the POW but I did take 11s about him for the King George a fortnight or so ago.
Cloth of Stars ruled out of the Prince Of Wales now too
Ulysses is this years Carlton House to Jack Hobbs's So You Think, There both trading 5/2 JF at the moment I reckon JH goes of 5/4 and wins.

I see Limato is 5/1 for the Diamond Jubilee on the Saturday
Bet of the century if the ground stays quick
Having a browse through races later in the week, the Hardwicke looks impossible but should be a group 1 given the depth of the potential field.
Stand out for me is Tin man e/w - Record on gd/gf is 6 from 8 with one of those losses being his debut so if the ground if gd to fm, which looks likely, he has a good e/w chance. 8/1 available, have to say I don't think there is much juice in the price but he's a solid horse on form.
I'm clever enough to ask the questions i'm too stupid to answer
He's very solid I agree and much like Lightning Spear is a crack one for the each way multiples. I have backed Limato though at 5/1 all-in and 4s NRNB. Different gear on summer ground.
Sea Wolf not running; ground too quick according to owner at Cork today.
Limato is the one to beat Euro, would tend to agree and his good ground form is equally as strong as the Tin mans but the latter is improving and I don't think there is much between them so would rather side with the Fanshawe horse.

The biggest problem with Royal Ascot is Davy Russell and Ruby like Sea Wolf aren't running.............My Old Pal Jack Hobs needs to be laid big time if most of the others turn up.
I know he won at Meydan but back here hell find one too good for him...Very disappointing animal in my book

I wish the race was Tues/Wed. Scared of dodgy rain forecasts.
