It was another good day on the tipping front with winners at Royal Ascot and elsewhere.
Henry Cecil had a winner in Ascot’s last race thgis afternoon with Timepiece and he is well represented in the 3.05 tomorrow with Principal Role. She won a listed race at Newbury on her last start and the 4th has won since. I think Principal Role could run well here and I would also be tempted to have a small each way saver on Pipette who was second at Goodwood to the subsequent Oaks winner Snow Fairy.
This year’s Gold Cup (3.50) looks a very strong renewal. Another Henry Cecil runner, Manifest, has strong claims after a very impressive win in the Yorkshire Cup. Also fancied are Ask whose last two wins have come at Group 1 level, St Leger runner up Kite Wood and Ces winner Darley Sun. Manifest has been so impressive in his last two starts that he has to be in with a great chance while Ask has the undoubted class. Manifest and Ask look sure to be involved in the finish as long as they stay this marathon trip. One that will definitely not lack for stamina is Kasbah Bliss and he could be worth an each way interest.
My 4 horse short list for the ultra competitive 4.25 consists of two winners last time out, Business as Usual and Balducci and two that were second on their latest start Invincible Soul and Hypnotized. If pushed to narrow it down I would go with Business as Usual and Hypnotized.
The progressive Afsare can land the 5.00 for Luca Cumani and Kieren Fallon while Berling and London Stripe look the pair to concentrate on in the 5.35 where Dandino is another to consider.
At Ripon Fastnet Storm should go close in the 4.00 where Oneofapear is another to consider while in the 5.10 Beat the Rush and Boss’s Destination are the two I like.
At Warwick Lombok is dropped in grade and wears first time headgear and might be worth chancing in the 2.55.
