Frankie Dettori Royal Ascot rides: Day 3

Timeform assess Frankie Dettori's rides on day three of Royal Ascot.

Norfolk Stakes (14:30 Royal Ascot)

Timeform analysis: No Nay Never (who won this in 2013) colt who made a winning debut in 10-runner non-graded event at Gulfstream (5f, firm) just under 6 weeks ago, making all and drawing clear in straight. Sure to be popular with the services of Frankie Dettori enlisted and he will progress.

Timeform star verdict (out of five): ★★★

Burglar

King George V Stakes (15:05 Royal Ascot)

A typically progressive type from his yard. Didn't look all out when taking career record to 2-3 in 1¼m Redcar handicap 23 days ago and there's more to come with this longer trip promising to suit.

★★★★

Bluestocking

Ribblesdale Stakes (15:40 Royal Ascot)

Bred in the purple and overcame inexperience to make a striking winning debut in 1m Salisbury novice in September. Shaped well in coming from a disadvantageous position when second behind Warm Heart on return at Newbury (10f, listed) last month and of firm interest with prospect of more to come.

★★★★

Courage Mon Ami

Gold Cup (16:20 Royal Ascot)

Highly promising son of Frankel who is 3-3, looking a smart prospect when easily landing 12f minor events at Kempton and Newcastle in the autumn. Maintained unbeaten record in 8-runner handicap (6/4) at Goodwood (14f, good to firm) 26 days ago, Fascinating contender up in grade.

★★★

Quantum Impact

Britannia Stakes (17:00 Royal Ascot)

Workmanlike colt who enhanced an excellent strike rate when improving to score in gutsy style at York last time. Should give another good account with Dettori booked.

★★★★

Epictetus

Hampton Court Stakes (17:35 Royal Ascot)

Smart form at 2 yrs, winning at Newmarket on debut before runner-up in Autumn Stakes there and Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. Scored with a bit in hand in Blue Riband Trial at Epsom on return and ran up to best when fifth in both the Dante and Prix du Jockey Club. Can go well back at Group 3 level.

★★★

Unforgotten

Buckingham Palace Stakes (18:10 Royal Ascot)

Low-mileage 5-y-o who landed back-to-back 1m Lingfield handicaps in February. Seemed unsuited by the track on his turf debut at Newmarket but confirmed he's as effective on grass when third at Newbury a month ago.

★★★
