Gr8 work maestro

Lol, I will think about it, getting tedious now lol but only got 2 races to do, if I have time tomorrow or wednesday night then I may do some! Will definitely do some for the big NH festivals most prob Chelts, Aintree & Punchestown. US races possibly pushing it but will do Breeders Cup.....Don't want to get too ahead of myself, but whenever I get bored of Uni work I'll do a preview here and there and maybe even some reviews!

Was only joking pal, you've done a great job for the Royal Ascot Meeting.

Makes it a lot more interesting with everyone involved with horses running this week.

Yeah I know lol, just looking at the NH races and they look a bit tasty!! Got some really good looking newcomers in as well, looking forward to it!

Think there is 7 G1 races this week. Should be very tough and competitive, got some nice new types in myself, looking forward to some of them running this week.

Quiet heads up: NHC is awesome this week....

i was surprised to see jupiters trail not in the gold cup line up davy!! thought you should of given him a shot at it, hes a monster

well so is ascot rich so week 7 looks like it may be a tough one to beat and will set a standard for excitement levels for the rest of the season!!

Wokingham Stakes 0-110 Hcp 3yo+ 6f

12 line up here for the Wokingham handicap over 6 furlongs. APPLE HOUSE has ran some good races and the 2nd at York is good enough for him to be in the mixer here. CHOISIR has been performing averagely at best and won't be coming near the front until the firm ground appears. COCOA BEACH did well early season, disappointing
latest but could turn up here off a decent mark. DOUBLE EM has looked good over 5f but whether has the stamina to dominate here over 6 is something to worry about. LAST STAND has run well as of late but not sure if well enough handicapped for this. MAGNUM ALY has performed fantastically with a great win at York ahead of a lot of these, not badly treated at the weights and can go in again here on favoured ground. NORTH LIGHT is very consistent and could be in with a place shout. POST OP has finished well over 7f but pretty sure 6 might be too quick. SMOLENSKO won well at Kempton before behind MAGNUM ALY at York, could challenge but MAGNUM ALY will take all the beating

My Prediction
1: MAGNUM ALY
2: SMOLENSKO
3: APPLE HOUSE

Duke Of Edinburgh 0-80hcp 3yo+ 1m4f

Tough race to predict here as are all the handicaps here. All horses within
7lb's of each other shows how close it is here. AGENT WALLY has had some good midfield finishes and wasn't far behind some well thought of horses, chance. CAPE CROSS has ran ok, down the field at sandown though, reasonably handicapped. GIFTED FLAME has been running over further to no avail, tough job here. GOONO was at the bottom of the pack last two runs and may come up short here.
MY LORDS VARNISH is a tough, versatile horse who is a bit hit and miss but should make the places here. PLEA AFLEET was a decent midfield in the derby but without firm ground and a high handicap mark may put pay to his chances. PURPLE FLOWER is an older horse who may have a chance on maiden form but that form can be bettered by that of TEXTURE but there are stamina doubts there. WINDY MILLER has performed well in midfield in tough races and may go close. This race can go anywhere but I'm going to go with WINDY MILLER who has run well in some decent races and the places are up for grabs!

My Prediction:

1: WINDY MILLER
2: TEXTURE
3: MY LORD'S VARNISH

18 Top class races with horses and trainers from around the world competing....Hopefully you enjoyed the previews so what can we expect...
Will Scatters dominance continue and take the top trainers title down under?? Or will Davy or Kenny take it up north of the border or Padraig across the Irish Sea....Or can the home charge led by Ryan and many others keep the title in England?? Who will take the group 1's and who will pull off the handicap gamble of the century?? Tune in on Friday to find out!

Hopefully if I have time then I may do some reviews, will leave the NH for now and save it for the 3 big meetings later on in the year...Possibly may do a Goodwood/York preview as well!! Enjoy for now!

Good stuff

Nick just 3 words mate, Fantastic Fantastic Previews!!!

Well Done Nick

Excellent Royal Ascot previews Nick

I thought I would put together a Royal Ascot stable tour

Kings Stand Group 1 – Shamardal is already a Group 3 winner and is unbeaten in 4 starts, she didn't run in the Group 2 Temple Stakes last week as the ground was on the quick side she would have went close and may have even won, the good to soft at Ascot is perfect for her and I'm hopeful of a win, the lad that rides her out says she will win.

St James Palace Stakes Group 1 – Screenwriter run 2nd in the 2000 Guineas beaten by Speedito, unfortunately I see the same result again, Screenwriter seems to have a flat spot near the end of his races than picks up again to finish strongly I just feel Speedito will get first run and Screenwriter will fail to bridge the gap.

Royal Hunt Cup Handicap – Alleged is carrying a big weight here that said we are looking for a big run from him.

Prince of Wales Group 1 – Binocular will run a big race here but I think Machine Head will be very hard to beat so I think she will have to settle for 2nd at best today.

Norfolk Stakes Group 2 – Wise Owl has been running over 5f but he is really a 6f horse so I have a feeling he will struggle to go the pace at a critical stage in the race but will finish strong at the end.

Ribblesdale Stakes Group 2 - Bibibeg is a very nice filly and should run big a race, there are some very nice fillies in the race, Jeune is the big danger she ran well in the Oaks but I said a couple of weeks ago that I feel Jeune is a far better filly going right handed over a stiff 12f which she will have today.

Coronation Stakes Group 1 – Miss Danehill has been burning up the gallops since her last run, she won the 1000 Guineas and was 2nd in the Irish Guineas after finding trouble in running but I'm not sure if she would have won anyway that day, She has been showing so much speed at home I think she could win over 6f but she is a top class filly.

Hardwicke Stakes Group 2 - Lilly Fa Pootz is a very good filly and is my banker at the meeting, I feel if the going was a bit quicker at Epsom last time she would have won, she is receiving weight from Galleon today who she has beaten off level weights earlier in the season.

Golden Jubilee Stakes Group 1 - Reiteration is a nice colt but I feel the John Scatters trained Roya will be very hard to beat today, there are a lot of good sprinters in the race and even getting a place will be tough task.

Wokingham Stakes Handicap - Smolensko is a top class 6f filly and would have ran in the Golden Jubilee if the going was quicker, forget her first start over 5f on her second start she won over 6f and then ran 4th in the Group 2 Duke of York stakes on heavy ground which she hated and was only beaten a length, she has an outstanding chance today and we very confident of a win.

Ascot Classic Group 3 - Storm Alert is a nice filly but is up against Perfect Rhythm, I think we may have to settle for 2nd today.

Centrino Cup Nursery - Homestay Sustained an injury on his first and only start and has a good chance here, he likes to be dropped in and get some cover I just hope he doesn't run into any trouble when trying to make his run.
