I like Sacred Kingdom, but to me, he is a flashy sprinter. When he comes up against a very tough horse like JJ, he could find things getting a bit difficult for him. He seems to enjoy winning races easily and he won't be able to do that at Royal Ascot. I just think that JJ will have not only a race fitness edge, but he also looks like the Ideal type to win a big field sprint over a stiff six furlongs.
I'm most looking forward to Canford Cliffs though. I was told about him the day before he made his racecourse debut. The words, which I heard down the phone "best 2yo that hannon has by far" and after witnessing Monsieur Chevallier, you knew that this one was something special. He spreadeagled subsequent winners on his debut and will only improve.
Looking forward to seeing the American horses, I hope they do well. I've heard that the Queen Mary candidate looks a right tool
