1m2f (1m1f212y) Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+)
Many have tried and failed to get by Los Angeles but he is exposed as shy of top notch, and there are plenty of new challengers. Similar comments apply to Anmaat and younger legs can take this. OMBUDSMAN may have lost his unbeaten record at Sandown but he lost nothing else by giving weight away in defeat. He had been 4/4 before that, and connections have been patient with him. This is his first Group One and a career best is firmly on the cards. It was hard to not be taken by SEE THE FIRE at York last time out when she exploded on fast ground to win by a rare 12l. Sea The Stars progeny progress with age so whenever one appears to take a big step forward I’m more inclined to see it as the real deal rather than a fluke. She’s out of a Juddmonte International winner (my greatest ever tip I will add) and has plenty of Group One back form, so her progression makes a lot of sense. I’ll be backing both.
1pt win Ombudsman @6/1, 1pt win See The Fire @5/1, 16:20 Royal Ascot, Wednesday
