    I think that 25-1 is too big a price for Royal Scotsman so I’ve bet him ew. I’m going to the meeting this year, so I wanted to have a big bet on something a long way out, so I’ve loosened the purse strings for this one.

    It’s a great price Kris if he bounces back to form the trouble is do we know what was wrong with him? It’s like trying to get blood out of a stone

    I’ve joined you Kris
    Found a piece saying he had sore feet
    Sussex is the main target
    St James palace or Jersey or even bypass Ascot beforehand

    So long as: Modern Games, Chaldean, Paddington and Meditate don’t show up, I think you’re in, there, lads.

    Wasn’t far behind Chaldean… Hi Royal was beaten a similar distance Vs Paddington as he was in the guineas. Modern Games carries the burden of weight for age. Meditate will be hoping Royal Scotsman doesn’t turn up.
    Royal Scotsman should lose as 25/1 would suggest however 25/1 is belittling his ability. He has a good Goodwood record, plenty of speed for the course although I think any mile should suit him. He was 3s after the guineas for the St James Palace so if he can bounce back from the woeful Curragh run he wouldn’t be without a chance, he wasn’t beaten far behind Chaldean in the Dewhurst either. Will probably be handed his head by Chaldean again but at 25s the ticket looks to have some juice in it, judged on Dewhurst and Newmarket 2000…🧃

    Very nice reappearance from nostrum there

    In a weak division he could be an improver

    Very different build to chaldean and one you’d expect to keep improving

    Has an entry in this and the celebration mile

    I’d imagine they will favour the group 2 celebration mile then look to step up to group 1 company after if he wins

    If all of these actually line up I’ll be tempted to lay paddington if he’s odds on

    Especially if he has a low draw as that brings trouble in running into the equation

    If kinross was mine he’d be running here in a group 1 not in the Lennox but I don’t know how likely that is

    Looks like Nostrum is out. Stoute preferring the Group 3 on Friday for reasons best known to himself.

    What?

    How can you lay Paddington??!!

    The Royal Ascot form looks really good – Chaldean went on to, err, get stuffed in France.

    Well, never mind that – he won the Eclipse, beating Emily Upjohn who, err, yeah, I get what you mean.

    Maybe he breaks them
    Royal Scotsman hasn’t been seen since he met Paddington
    the trainer put an advert on Crimewatch
    it reads
    “Missing horse. A reward for his non return”

    It’s a rough-cut marmalade thing.
