O'BRIEN AND MOORE TAKE TOP TRAINER AND JOCKEY TITLESFrankie Dettori Royal Ascot rides: Day 4
Posted in: Royal Ascot Tips
Albany Stakes (14:30 Royal Ascot)
Overcame inexperience to win 8-runner maiden at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut and showed much improved form when following up in 13-runner Group 3 at Naas last month, sealing it with a striking turn of foot and close down by Navassa Island only late on. Will go on improving.
Timeform star verdict (out of five): ★★★
Commonwealth Cup (15:05 Royal Ascot)
Only defeat at 2 came when edged out by Mawj in the Duchess of Cambridge at the July meeting, winning the Group 1 Cheveley Park over 6f at Newmarket. Had a tilt at the 1000 Guineas on reappearance, finishing eighth, but sprinting more her bag.
★★★
Sandringham Stakes (17:00 Royal Ascot)
Sister to very smart 6f winner Calyx. Created a very good impression when scoring on AW debut in October. Never figured in Nell Gwyn on reappearance but back on track with easy win in Newcastle novice last month. Very interesting runner.
★★★★
King Edward VII Stakes (17:35 Royal Ascot)
Most progressive juvenile who scored twice over 1m before head second to Dubai Mile in Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Impressive winning comeback in the mud in the Chester Vase but not seen to best effect in the Derby (seemed unsuited by the track, not knocked about). Can do better.
★★★★
