Can't resist a small ew at 66/1 King Of Athens, mainly because I don't really fancy the other Coolmore one too much so why are they sending a total rag over in current circumstances?

50/1 place on whoever called Symbolise. Thank you.
I know nothing about flat, so following some shouts on here and ain’t doing to bad. So thank you all.

Friend of mine just had a 20p treble come in on the first three winners that paid £250. Nice.

I've decided I can afford a pop at the Chesham so have landed on March Law 28/1. Might be one of the few likely to appreciate the ground and should stay strongly.

Well done. I really liked I’m on the way to post. Not as much as I liked Battleground who just oozes quality but I definitely liked him.

Fingers crossed now for a place for Cherokee Trail which would give me a 58+/1 place double.

Well done Des great result. I'm claiming lucky charm status for the day.
Man who catch fly with chopstick .... accomplish anything.
Granted, Danny! Come back tomorrow!
I backed three in that Britannia: 2nd, 3rd & 4th. So glad I didn't back the trifecta. I'd be pig sick at the result

Well done DO. I was on ew Cherokee too and also backed the winner.
Best Ascot for me for many a year so far. And typically there’s no tipping competition!

This one will probably raise some eyebrows...
In the Hardwicke I managed to get 100/1 Eagles By Day and I'm hopeful of a place at least. This time last year he was less than five lengths behind Japan in the King Edward, a big step forward on his Derby trial form, in softish ground. He bombed on his only subsequent start three weeks later at the July Meeting but that was on fast ground, might have come too soon and he reportedly burst a blood vessel. The worst case scenario is that he had a valid excuse for a poor run. He's obviously got a long absence to overcome but Michael Bell is no mug and Tudhope is an interesting booking.
It's possible this is the first step towards something like the Ebor but at the price in a race with plenty of questions marks over the principals, I'm happy to risk some fun money.
In the same race, I think Desert Encounter should be a fraction of the 100/1 on offer so I'm on this one too.
I might even try the forecast

On the phone yesterday I was talking to the brother about Highland Chief winning and I said if I'd checked the race closely enough I'd probably have backed it because it was trained by Paul Cole. A couple of years back I put up Duke Of Hazzard at 25/1 for the Chesham (finished 3rd) for the simple reason that Cole just doesn't send horses to Royal Ascot unless he really thinks they can justify the entry. I completely overlooked the fact that Cole trained Highland Chief otherwise would certainly have had at least a saver on it.
Cole has another relatively rare runner today in Valpolicella in the Albany. I wouldn't otherwise be interested in the race but I've taken the 20/1.
