I’m sure you can appreciate it takes up a lot of my time. My plan is to continue as a free tipster. I enjoy researching my selections and providing winners for all of you guys. I know by the direct messages and emails I receive that there are plenty of you who appreciate my efforts and if you wish to buy me a beer then you can do so by clicking the yellow box.

My thoughts on Day 1 at Royal Ascot

For those of you that are interested in my thoughts at Royal Ascot, here’s a short write up explaining how I see the first day going.

There are reports that Ascot has had a bit of rain Monday evening, but I don’t expect the going to change too much. If it anything I think it will remain officially good, but maybe ride on the softer side of that. I’ll be playing most each-way bets on the first day.

I won’t be getting too involved in the first race. On the off chance that Kaeso is much better on turf than he is on the AW I’ll be backing him each-way on the hope he can turn around the the form with the fav, who is 0-1 on the turf.

Marcus Tregoning really likes his horse Mohaather (1:50) and that’s good enough for me. He’s in great form right now. The horse looks really straight forward and I can see him running into at least a place.

Ralph Beckett is another trainer in good form and I’ll take the chance on his horse Trefoil in the 2:25. I felt as if 10f’s didn’t get to the bottom of Trefoil nine days ago and the step up in trip could bring out improvement.

I’ll just be watching the 3:00 race, but if you’re pushing me for a selection then Mogul looks like the right favourite. Clear on ratings and Ryan Moore booked. The dam was a winner over the distance and Mogul is already a group 2 winner. Any improvement at all over this trip sees him win. 4/5 seems a bit short with the question mark over the trip though.

Battaash is miles clear on ratings and should get his first win at Ascot today. That’s the 3:35 race.

Jubiloso might make all in the 4:10. I don’t really understand why they have stepped Queen Power back in trip. That one will be running on strongly.

I’ll take a chance on San Benedeto in the last race of the day at big odds. He might flop, but he’s a 150+ rated horse over the jumps and if he can translate that sort of mark to the flat he could sneak a place.

Good luck.
