Imperial Guest is another Ascot specialist in a similar vein to my selection earlier on this week from the same team Excellent Guest. We can be sure  with both the Royal Ascot is their main target for the year and with such a good run from Excellent earlier on this week there is no way I can desert Imperial in this race. He has been in the firing line on a number of occasions on this course and the current 42 on Betfair is vastly overpriced so I’ll be taking advantage. Ill add another EW bet as soon as 33/1 becomes available with one of the bookies offering 5 places.

1 Point win 42 Betfair

33/1 EW with 5 places available with Paddy Power so and additional 1 PT EW here

Atlantic Sport is another I have picked a few times around here. He has a number of very decent performances in similar races in the last year or 2 off higher marks than the 92 he has today. For example he was a good 5th in the International over this C&D last year on Good-Soft ground of a mark of 100. He has had only 1 run this year which should be to his advantage and the 40/1 with 5 places looks overpriced.

1pt EW 40/1 Paddy Power Boyles etc.

Opera Gal is the right sort of tough horse to have a decent chance at a huge price in this race. There are a lot of unexposed horses that may well be better in time than my selection but with the soft ground over this trip a lot of them might just struggle. She has plenty of decent form on softer ground and has won over further. She has been dropped 4lbs for her seasonal reappearance and that could be enough to give her a chance here. I particularly like the 6.2 to place price on Betfair considering it is for 4 places.

½ Point win 34 Betfair 1 Point place 6.2 Betfair
