Royal Ascot | R1: G3 Albany Stakes Friday is another big day where I’m riding in every race, kicking off with
SUN GODDESS in the Albany Stakes.
She’s a nice Sioux Nation filly who was second on debut, but she wasn't beaten far, and then she won very impressively at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago. She's a big, strong filly, and I think she has an outstanding chance.
Royal Ascot | R2: G1 Commonwealth Cup In the Commonwealth Cup,
CHARLES DARWIN and
ALBERT EINSTEIN both line up.
CHARLES DARWIN won the Norfolk Stakes last year and then he had a setback.
He won his comeback at Navan this year, and then he was beaten at Naas where he took a bad step about a furlong-and-half out.
He'll need to step up on what he's done this year, but he's a talented horse.
ALBERT EINSTEIN is my ride. He's an exciting, good-looking colt.
Ascot is going to suit him and I’m expecting him to put in a big performance.
He’s the fittest and most professional he’s been, so we’re hoping he shows us what he can do.
Royal Ascot | R3: Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes EMIT is a nice ride to have for the same connections of Enceladus, who I won with on Thursday. Joseph [O’Brien] is having a great week. Hopefully that can continue.
There’s a maximum field of 19 in here and we’ve got to give weight to most of them, so it won’t be easy.
I wouldn’t be too worried about the step back in trip, as he’s already a winner over 1m4f.
He finished his race off nicely when I rode him the last day and should have a squeak given he has form in higher company.
Royal Ascot | R4: G1 Coronation Stakes TRUE LOVE and
PRECISE both run in the Coronation Stakes. They are two good fillies and Wayne’s [Lordan] got the best out of them so far!
They've both won a Guineas this year. I'm still not sure which one is the best, but they're both high-class.
TRUE LOVE won at the Royal meeting as a two-year-old, she's very fast, she won the Queen Mary.
PRECISE won the Moyglare and the Fillies' Mile. The mile seems to suit her well and she’s a strong staying filly. They both have outstanding chances.
Royal Ascot | R5: Sandringham Stakes I don’t know too much about
SEET in the Sandringham, but she’s got a nice enough profile having had just the three starts and now making her handicap debut off 96.
The form of her two wins is yet to really be tested, so we’re stepping into the unknown, but I’m sure connections will be hoping she’s better than her mark.
Royal Ascot | R6: G2 King Edward VII Stakes CAUSEWAY is a lovely big staying colt who’s improving all the time. He’s done everything right so far and we expect him to take another good step forward here.
The step up in trip will suit and he should run a big race.
Royal Ascot | R7: Palace Of Holyroodhouse I don’t know too much about SIRIUS A in the last. He’s run well in two starts this season and his form suggests Ascot’s stiff five should suit.
