I'll start a book:

1-5 plane delayed because they are having to get more alcohol on board
6-4 waiting for pilot to sober up
5-1 they can't decide whether it's a very short and wide runway or if they're facing the wrong way (I hope you laugh at that one!)
12-1 Johnny Murtagh kicking off after another passenger told him Mastercraftaman had no chance.

How about the Over/Under on total finish by the six Wesley Ward horses?

73 1/2 sounds about right to me.

Is Ward really doing the 2 races in 5 days thing again with Cannonball?

Andy, would you give a sqeak of a chance to any of them? If honor in peace lines up in the chesham over 7f on the Saturday, he'd be of interest simply because that race tends to be quite poor!

Other than Cannonball, who would need the rest of the field to fall down, I know very little about his horses. However, to expect some early season 2YO winners from the US, from a trainer not exactly known for getting his 2YOs to move forward, to go to Ascot and make even a reasonable showing seems like quite a longshot.

Look, I credit him for taking a shot and having some fun, but the odds seem slim. I'm still, however, jealous.....and wish I was there.

I will list only one alternate. If my top pick should scratch please move my second selection to the first spot and my alternate will then become the second selection. Should my second selection scratch then move my alternate to the second spot. Should two of my horses scratch tough luck for me; I’ll be left with only one horse as top pick.

Race 1 - gladiatorus, main aim…… alternate: cesare

Race 2 - fleeting spirit, tax free……….alternate: amour propre

Race 3 - master craftsman, evasive………..alternate: intense focus

Race 4 - cansford cliffs, red jazz…………..alternate: xtension

Race 5 - keenes day,always bold…………..alternate: som tala

Race 6 - NAP mister manannan, the hermitage………alternate: star rover
