Royal Ascot, Wednesday E/W Double...
Ascot 15:45 - Phoenix Tower E/W
1m 2f, Class 1 Prince of Wales Stakes (Group 1) - Good to Firm
The old master Henry Cecil saddles the progressive Phoenix Tower and what looks to be another great chance for him to add to his already impressive Royal Ascot tally. A battling 2ND last time out behind the impressive yard stick Creachadoir, Phoenix Tower is sure to appreciate the step up in trip and rattling fast ground under-foot. The Hat-trick seeking Duke of Marmalade may give our selection most to worry about, however at an early price of 5/1 our selection is an E/W steel!! (Early Price 5/1)
2ND 7/1
Ascot 16:20 - Lang Shinning E/W
1m, Class 2 Royal Hunt Cup Handicap - Good to Firm
The Royal Hunt Cup, is one of my favourite races at Royal Ascot. 20+ runners do battle over the straight mile and despite being a staying race of sorts, speed is certainly of the essence. Un-sure as to the draw bias and whether or not you wont to be high or low, I think the fact that Lang Shinning is drawn against the Red Hot Favourite for the race Bankable can only be another positive. 2ND last time out in a class 1, Sir Michaels Stoute's colt sets the standard here and with former champ Kieran Fallon being so bullish about his chances, this is another E/W bet not to miss! (Early Price 6/1)
UP 7/1
