    I’ll be propping up the table, as usual, with my speculative outsiders all finishing one place out of the points. 😎

    Doesn’t time fly? Can’t believe it is Ascot time again! A quick look at the weather forecast suggests that there will be no rain until maybe Saturday when there will be a bit of drizzle – so we can look forward to a tremendous spectacle unspoilt by the weather. :yahoo:

    Well my picks are as follows:

    2.30 Witch Hunter (Big Rock)
    3.05 Star Anthem AND Turner’s Cross (Midnight Strike)
    3.40 Rogue Lightning (Twilight Calls)
    4.25 Unquestionable (Rosallion)

    5.40 Torito (Botanical)
    6.15 Lucander **NAP** (Fox Journey)
