O'BRIEN AND MOORE TAKE TOP TRAINER AND JOCKEY TITLESFrankie Dettori Royal Ascot rides: Day 5
Posted in: Royal Ascot Tips
Jersey Stakes (15:05 Royal Ascot)
Timeform analysis: Son of Frankel who is improving in leaps and bounds, building on pair of maiden/novice wins with a commanding victory (well backed) on handicap debut at Haydock (1m) 4 weeks ago, shaken up around 2f out and in command after. Looks a serious player up in class with prospect of more to come.
Timeform star verdict (out of five): ★★★★★
Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (15:40 Royal Ascot)
Thrived last season, completing 4-timer in Champions Sprint over C&D (good to soft) in October. Only eighth in this last year when the ground was fast, however, so may prove vulnerable unless there's rain.
★★★★
Hardwicke Stakes (16:20 Royal Ascot)
Very talented mare who made it 6 wins in her last 7 starts when seeing off Wednesday's Duke of Cambridge winner Rogue Millennium in the Group 2 Middleton on her 1¼m York reappearance. Return to further will suit and she could take a bit of stopping with further progress on the cards.
★★★★★
Wokingham Stakes (17:00 Royal Ascot)
Smart gelding who impressed when landing 7f Chelmsford City handicap in March. Turned in a rare below-par effort in Haydock Listed race last time but this C&D winner can bounce back.
★★★
Golden Gates Stakes (17:35 Royal Ascot)
Readily saw off 2 subsequent winners in a Pontefract maiden (1¼m, heavy) in April and bumped into Queen's Vase winner Gregory at Haydock on his next start. Did too much too soon when fourth on 1½m York handicap debut and very interesting dropping back in trip under Dettori.
