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.

edit: Benbaun is out.

Apparently they told him he was going to The Curragh, but when he left the horsebox he had a look around and asked to go home

trying to get a nice jackpot ticket for the Curragh today but Ill have to single Lizard Island to make it affordable.

US Ranger looks to be miles clear on ratings and he should win very easily. I cant see him being beaten today and I dont even know who will come 2nd, they all look much of a muchness with the possible exception of Evening Time who might be good reverting to sprinting.

At Ascot, I like Silver Touch in the Diadem if the ground is soft enough. I might throw something at Baltic King as well.

I wouldn't want to bet US Ranger at 8/13, but that's just me. Evening Time does have a lot of pace, and i like her.

The ground has dried up at Ascot, especially on the straight track. They are calling it "good" but it might even be a little quicker than that, but it's still on the soft side on the round course.
