Royal Ascot Friday Double...


Ascot 15:05 - Bronze Cannon
1m 4f, Class 1 King Edward Vii Stakes (Group 2) - Good to Firm, Firm in Places

John Gosden's horses are flying at present and the fact that this horse was entered for the Derby, yet saved for Royal Ascot should tell you all you need to know. Progressive with every outing this year, my attention is suddenly brought to the form of his Newmarket outing in the spring when he disposed of the subsequent Derby 4Th Doctor Freemantle. Guaranteed to get the trip, Jimmy Fortunes mount is a confident selection at a very decent price. (Early Price 4/1)

Ascot 15:45 - Spacious
1m, Class 1 Coronation Stakes (Fillies' Group 1) - Good to Firm, Firm in Places

A firm favourite of The Analyst's James Fanshaw's fillie was an Un-lucky loser in the 1000 Guineas and can claim her prize today under the classy Jamie Spencer. With Infallible and Lush Lushes having plenty to find and Jamie making more use of her speed on the drying ground I can only see one outcome and hopefully another Double landed. (Early Price 3/1)

See You On Monday...
