I just wonder what 10mm of rain does to the chances of a filly who clocked under 57s last time out – that will have been quick ground and/or an easy five.
Regarding ham’s comment, Highfield Princess nets out at OR 122 with her gender allowance, what I’d expect for a bang average Group 1 sprint tbh.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"June 20, 2023 at 08:55 #1652133Ah surely you dont believe the 122 rating ian, shes now 6 & even more of a negative being an older filly
But even if you believe she can run to 122, which she might outwith her, its a terrible, terrible group 1 sprint
June 20, 2023 at 09:00 #1652134As the rain has fallen at Ascot have to give Vadream
a chance in this to at least gain a place.
She beat quite a few of these at Newmarket time before last and you can draw a line under her last race.
Has to step up but place prospects are good…Vadream- 40/1 EW
We are 40 miles from Ascot and can hear Thunder coming from that direction..just hope the weather doesn’t result in too many non runners..
Best of luck … JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...June 20, 2023 at 09:05 #1652135I rate her slightly, but only slightly, lower, ham – for me, she’s got enough Group 1 form to back it up.
But we shall see.
Interesting call, Jac, but tbh I suspect the rain may have just erased the word Firm from the going description, but if it’s introduced a bit of Good to Soft you might be in business there.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"June 20, 2023 at 09:25 #1652141She fully deserves her rating having beaten sprint cup winner minzaaal in the maurice de gheest
Then giving 2st 10lb to abbaye winner the platinum queen
She will be even better suited to the 5f at ascot than York and is already a royal ascot winner
Unless coolangatta is a monster, which she will need to be being 3 and not getting any weight, only bad luck in running stops the princess from putting the Royal into Royal ascot
June 20, 2023 at 09:31 #1652143I can’t see past her either, FF.
Fast enough to win a Nunthorpe, stays well enough to win a Prix Maurice Du Gheest, this stiff five looks ideal, nothing bothers her, and she ran well under a Group 1 penalty first time out.
She’s no Dayjur, but then neither of the rest of them.

June 20, 2023 at 10:31 #1652151I think Twilight Calls is better than his 2 races this year He was only a
head behind Kings Lynn in the Group 2 Temple stakes and 2nd in this last
year. I hope there’s not too much rain. I think he’s overpriced at 25/1.Twilight Calls 25/1 Paddy Power
June 20, 2023 at 15:29 #1652250Mooneista, who should come on a lot after a cold spring here, and Twilight Gleaming (gorgeous filly) are my ews for this.
June 20, 2023 at 15:47 #1652253Can’t see the stewards will change that best horse won.
The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.
June 20, 2023 at 15:48 #1652254Get the French rules in. Bradsell could’ve drifted across the whole track and still keep it ;o)
June 20, 2023 at 15:49 #1652255Result won’t get changed with the runner up saying “I don’t know”
Blackbeard to conquer the World
June 20, 2023 at 15:52 #1652256Weaver promoting it saying “you’ll only get a couple of days”
No wonder they never straighten them up in those circumstances
If was in France Hollie straightens the horse or at least tries to, farcicalBlackbeard to conquer the World
June 20, 2023 at 15:52 #1652257Now I don’t back Bradsell … it goes and bloody wins!
I’m off the the Sulk House.
June 20, 2023 at 15:52 #1652258The first past the post will almost certainly keep it but I wonder if Hollie Doyle could have been a bit quicker pulling the whip through and tried a bit more to keep her horse running straighter?
She has compromised the favourite’s chance and she knows it – but as it stands, she knows under the rules she will probably keep the race if she wins by more than a neck.
I did not have a bet in the race, lest anyone thinks I am talking through a losing betting ticket!
June 20, 2023 at 15:53 #1652259Must be a good horse at Ascot as he beat Blackbeard there
Don’t stay in there too long Ghost as the St James Palace stakes up nextBlackbeard to conquer the World
June 20, 2023 at 15:59 #1652260Be more fun if the two jockeys got into a shouting match in the stewards room. As expected unchanged.
The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.
