Steady pace didor her imo,Dessie. Don't know what Ryan was thinking?
You're not seriously trying to suggest Ryan made an arse of it, are you?

5.35 - I didn’t look through the form for this because King Of Steel’s Derby run stands out but I worry about this race coming too soon.
6.10 Same here as Chelsea Green - Kerdos ran in the Yacowlef/Pinafore 6f handicap at the Craven Meeting. He pulled hard and was prominent in the face of a head wind that day and faded. He then was dropped to 5 at Chester and missed the break before staying on. I have 20s ante-post and he's much shorter now.
6.10 - Again, the table suggests there’s potentially plenty of value if you can land on the right one(s). Hispanic has to be a bet at the price just because of the strength in depth of the stable. You’d have to think this one is regarded as the yard’s best-handicapped 3yo sprinter to be turning up here. I’ve also taken 50/1, 6 places, Can To Can because of where it sits in the table and the rider is 1-2 for the yard this season, and Adrian Nicholls might just be a chip off the late old man’s block when it comes to sprint handicaps.

5.00-Polly Pott
Interesting now she is with a proper in form flat Trainer
Each Way @ 50-1 [Skybet] 8 places
Varian is an exceptionally good trainer imo.
Good for Julie Camacho and what a run after blowing the start!
Has there been any word about watering this week.
A huge far side advantage earlier in the week was reversed today.
To answer my own question, I found this:
The Going | Ascot Racecourse | Royal Ascot Horse Racing
I needn't have worried. Pleased for Varian, a trainer I like and the jockey is vary articulate. Had 7lbs on the field on ORs and won like it.
Just that they put 5 mm on overnight. Would think that may happen again tonight, quite a breeze there today and it would dried out pretty quickly and no rain forecast overnight I think.

There was one back in the day, Scallywag?
(Not calling you that name, you understand!)
There have been others. The TV does tend to mention them when they come along.
