Today is the first day of Royal Ascot.  Lots of very good horses performing.  It is always very difficult to back a winner at the prestigious meetings, as everything is trying !

Todays first race looks a good one.  Rhododendron will start likely favourite for this race, she will be primed for the race by her brilliant trainer Aiden O’Brian.  If I was having an interest bet in it, Lightning Spear is a bit of value each way at around 8/1.

More tomorrow.
