    I hope that it is ok to start this thread just now. I always like it, so I thought I would get one up and running.

    I don’t have anything particular in mind right now, but if I do put one or two up, I hope they will fare better than the likes of Glasvegas who I was keen on last year.

    I like Sacred for Royal Ascot
    I have bet her for the Queen Mary, looks very powerful and the benefit of getting the race in at the stage she did gives her enough of a rest.

    I always look forward to The Coventry.

    Admiral Nelson is obviously an exciting prospect, but I’m equally looking forward to seeing Lauded and Existent

    Out my depth as usual on this thread, but I’ll give Talbot a mention, as I thought he looked promising.

    Hope he runs well today.

    Nathan, I think that Sacred is one to stick with.

    My usual disappointing contribution to this thread. Like me, Talbot was way out his depth in top 2yo Company, but I’ll try my best to dig something else out.

    The main one who impressed me at Royal Ascot was Grammata, I’ll definitely be following her.

    Daz will be on here soon saying Sacred for Commonwealth cup. I agree but she wins the Lowther 1st
    Did anyone catch a quote from Mrs Haggas regard this horse? I think it was Chapman who was talking about it but I missed most of what was said.

    Not seen quotes from Haggas Nath

    Any views on irish 2yos seen last few weeks

    PRETTY GORGEOUS Just hose up might not be strong race

    CADAILIAC For Harrington won by 9L last night

    AOB had HUDSON RIVER win to and few others

    And waiting for ESPANIA from AOB Yard to run

    Bit later than normal due to virus but at Ascot saw smart performances

    BATTLEGROUND Won Chesham i not think win guineas next year not have same feeling of him like i did with Churchill at same time when put him up for 2000 guineas.

    THE LIR JET

    Won very well 6f think be trip for him way pick up the Ward winner who i also think GOLDEN PAL think another keep a eye on

    CAMPENELLE

    Won queen mary even though was drawn wide in stall 1 ground dried out for her in the end going to Prix Morny looks like being best group 1 for 2yos if all turn up.

    SACRED

    Was 2nd behind Ward horse think could turn into Commenwealth cup horse next year owners Cheveley park target group one at Newmarket as main target and a move up to 6f be ideal.

    DANDALLA

    A impressive winner with Karl Burke always doing well with 2yos this another to keep a eye on to

    SEVENTH KINGDOM

    Away from Ascot this son of Frankel was very impressive and feel be up to group races later this season.

    Thought Victory Heights was one of the main 2 year-olds to take out of Ascot. He’s had to get across from a poor draw, and shaped as though 5 furlongs was much too sharp for him. Ran a blinder considering, entered in the July Stakes this week.

    Good luck Krypton, as you said in the thread, crazy price.

    I’ll throw my July Stakes runner in as well, Forest of Dreams. No idea if he’ll run, the 20’s certainly suggests that he won’t, but either way, think he’s one to note.

    I don’t have too much to add to this thread yet lads + the only one who has really grabbed me is The Lir Jet.

    I thought that Happy Romance was impressive on Sunday, and I’ve bet Golden Pal for The Nunthorpe.

    Buckers, I’m also considering The Lir Jet for York as well.
