Ratings Update: Ombudsman and Bacio star at Royal Ascot
Timeform ratings reaction to the week's racing at Royal Ascot.
Group 1s
Ten Bob Tony (up 5 lb to 123) sprang a surprise in the opening Queen Anne Stakes, but that was the only real big turn up in the top-level events all week. He hadn't run over a mile since the German Guineas as a three-year-old and has tended to avoid going firmer than good, but he proved unexpectedly effective given those conditions and produced a career-best under a change of tactics.
However, he may struggle to confirm form with the second More Thunder (remains 122) and third Opera Ballo (remains on 125) if both are aimed at the Sussex, whilst he'll also have his work cut out to deal with the three-year-olds when they enter the equation.
Mission Central (up 8 lb to 119) was given a Ryan Moore special when completing the hat-trick - stepping back up in grade - with a career-best effort in the King Charles III Stakes, the temperament issues that threatened to get the better of him as a two-year-old looking well and truly behind him now, showing a fine turn of foot to collar French raider Rayevka (117) in the final furlong.
