    I think we could all do with a break after ascot week! But where do we think Japan will go now? Available at 7/1 for this. Seems big? I guess the chances of him running are factored into the prices?

    My fear is that they go to Longchamp for the Grand Prix de Paris…I hope not, I hope he turns up at Ascot

    7/1 gone already, best priced 6s. I can’t ignore and will take a chance he runs. I was there on Friday and he looked amazing in the paddock and duly backed it up on course obviously. Likely to be more to come with him and I also agree that he would’ve won the derby with an uninterrupted prep.

    Japan 6/1

    Can’t resist the 6/1 about Japan.

    Looks like he should be peaking in July, gets the big allowance over the 4YOs, Enable & SOC will be half-cooked with the Arc in mind and Crystal Ocean looked to me like that POW would take a fair bit out of him. Half stake now, more again when he’s hopefully confirmed for the race.

    Kev, what else could he go for do you know?

    I read the quote from AOB that says he’ll go either here or the Grand Prix de Paris

    Aye GPDP AOB mentioned but that’s a tin-pot Group 1. I’d send Kew Gardens back there personally.

    Edit – KG can’t run of course, 3YO colt restricted :wacko: I’d put Constantinople into that race.

    If they want to make a stallion out of this fella and rate him as highly as they seem to, he’ll be running here surely.

    Fair point Kev, and looks every bit a good horse. Seems nailed on here comes here for me.

    Gonna risk the weather improving and the ground being good and go for sea of class at 6/1

    We know it’s her target and we are due a few weeks of sunshine

    If she wants to win the arc she should really be winning this

    This has the potential of some King George this year. Really hope it materialises

    I hope that the race gets a good line up this year. I’m another who would love Japan to run here + I might even throw a few pounds his way.

    I know that she got a very good ride last week in France, but I do think that Coronet is an interesting entry here at 50-1.

    I just hope though that this race gets the field it deserves.

    The first two in the market look good- I’ve stayed loyal to Crystal Ocean in the hopes that the closer weights, a truer run race and perhaps a bit more improvement than Enable since last year will allow him to turn around the deficit from their meeting last season.

    I’ve also had an EW on Waldgeist– trainer says this is the target. He ran on quite gamely at the end of the PoW and better ground might suit his stature and action.

    Crystal Ocean 3-1 win
    Waldgeist 16-1 EW

    It’s looking like a slightly disappointing race compared to how it was potentially looking 2 weeks ago but still a good match up between Enable and Crystal Ocean. Can see these easily 1-2 so reverse forecast might be the way to go. However from a single bet point of view, Crystal Ocean is a stand out at 3/1 surely? James Doyle now confirmed to ride so means CO is on target for it. For me Enable still has a little bit to prove that she can match the form of 2 years ago. Sounds a bit silly maybe but just from an RPR point of view she’s not hit the heights of 2017 and Crystal Ocean just put up a career best in the prince of Wales. A repeat of that and I think he’ll win.

    Crystal Ocean 3/1

    Not a betting race for me

    Can see frankie getting a nice prominent position on enable, kicking for home 2 furlongs out and just cast see anything getting past her

    Will be a watching brief hoping the superstar filly gets the job done

    If I was forced to have a bet I’d back waldgeist each way since he will be getting his preferred ground this time
