Four bets for Royal Ascot next week
Admittedly, next week he has to take on arguably the best horse in training in the form of Field of Gold but this race might just cut up to less than eight runners by the off, in which case the current three places would be attractive. For starters, the likes of Shadow of Light and Jonquil are more likely to run instead in the Commonwealth Cup and I suspect there may be one or two other defections amongst the 11 runners who accepted earlier this week.

Waiting game for Porta Fortuna's Matron Stakes defence
Donnacha O'Brien's stable star has been absent since making a winning reappearance in the Lanwades Stud Stakes in May. The winner of two Group Ones last year, including the Matron at Leopardstown, as well as the Cheveley Park at two, a setback forced her to miss Royal Ascot and the Deauville mile races. O'Brien said: 'As everyone knows she had a setback, but she's on the way back. 'We'll just have to see whether we make Champions Weekend or not. 'Obviously if we're going to make it we can't have any hold ups with her between now and then, but the plan is to go there for now. 'It's one of those where everything will need to go in the right direction.'
