There is every chance that US Ranger could get beaten today, i think. He's had a while of the track and he is entitled to need this.
As far as Ascot is concerned, i really fancy Ask today. He seems to go well fresh, soft ground won't be a problem and he is still improving. I'm not convinced Honolulu is as good as many are saying, and the drop back in trip won't help much either. It isn't a brilliant race, but it is competitive. Ask for me though.
The sprint is a lottery. If Ascot changed it's name to The Curragh for the day, surely Benbaun would get confused enough and decide to win
But it all depends if he likes Ascot.
