Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Wednesday; New Graduate in the Royal Ascot 17:00. Compare odds and bet.
Wednesday’s feature, the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, looks a potential match between Sea Of Class and Magical, who both receive the 3lbs sex allowance. This will be the first start of the season for the former and that just puts me off slightly, as Magical has been in fine form, winning three times already this campaign. I certainly think Sea Of Class is the better prospect and if she is fully wound up for this return, she might just be up to the task, despite her optimum trip appearing to be 1m4f.
Later on the card New Graduate (17:00) is fancied to justify favouritism in the 30-runner Royal Hunt Cup and he’s the day’s sole selection.
James Tate’s four-year-old has been all the rage in the ante-post market for this and looked a potential future Group horse when winning in very taking fashion at Ripon in late-April. Now fully 15lbs higher in the weights, that Ripon race has worked out particularly well, with the next three home winning five times between them. The New Approach colt remains
open to considerable improvement after just four career starts and although the wide draw in one isn’t ideal, he can land this en route to pattern company.
At the time of writing, New Graduate – who should stay further in time, so ought to relish the stiff finish – was trading at 6-1 with several firms, of which Ladbrokes and Coral were paying 6 places.
