Royal Ascot

Was very impressive in Ireland,fast pace needed to drag him through and let him settle..

Brilliant win again from Canford Cliffs -D

could have paid of the national debt of greece today,can`t complain!

Yip, fantastic stuff. Pity about Paco. Could have been a red letter day for them....and me

I like the Richard Hills horse in the Coventry. I think he will run well

All the best to the Hannon team, but let me tell you........Richard Hills can NEVER have any of my money again. He was tanking in front and Hills put his hands down, then only pulled the stick 5 yards from the line............What a bugger!!!!!!!!!

I'm most certainly talking from the pocket.

Love trying to find the winner of `impossible` handicaps ,Paul Cole`s Moynahan has a big one in him and @ 40/1 we can`t do much damage? Wednesdays Card

I thought it was more a great ride on Goldikova rather than an iffy ride on anything else, and Paco ran the race of his life. And I'm NOT talking from the pocket. Lol.

Hannon hoping fillies can star on Wednesday

RICHARD HANNON gave an upbeat report on his Royal Ascot-bound fillies Shamwari Lodge and Pollenator on Tuesday morning ahead of their races on Wednesday.

Hannon, who has three strong chances on the first day of the five-day meeting with Paco Boy, Canford Cliffs and Strong Suit, is confident his fillies could make Wednesday justas successful.


Shamwari Lodge, unbeaten in three starts this season, including a Group 3 at the Curragh last time, runs in the Windsor Forest Stakes.

Speaking on his website, Hannon said: "Shamwari Lodge won a soft Group 3 in Ireland last time and will obviously have to step up again in the Group 2 Windsor Forest but she was only beaten two lengths by Tamazirte in this grade in the Prix Wildenstein in France last year and will certainly not be outclassed.

"She improved again through the winter and is unbeaten in three this season, but, though she made the running at the Curragh, she is better when dropped in, though we learned our lesson when caught up in traffic problems a couple of times last summer so we won't be sitting too far out of our ground."

Hannon also runs 1,000 Guineas disappointment Pollenator in the Sandrigham as she bids to get back to winning ways after a credible effort last time out trying to give weight to the Henry Cecil-trained Principal Role.

Hannon said: "We took Pollenator out of the French Oaks to wait for the Sandringham and Richard Hughes is adamant that dropping back to a mile will suit her, as she has bags of speed.

"He felt that she did not quite get home in the Swettenham Stud Trial at Newbury last time, but she looks terrific and, though she has a big weight, she is a classy filly and she must have a decent each-way chance."

Hannon also runs two in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes for two-year-old fillies, on which Hannon added: "We run two in the Queen Mary, The Sydney Arms [Richard Hughes] and Penny's Pearl [Frankie Dettori].

"The Sydney Arms would be unbeaten in three had she not got a clod of earth stuck in her throat at Salisbury on 1,000 Guineas day. She has done nothing wrong and is a speedy individual, and, though she has been suffering from a sore mouth, that seems to have cleared up now, and Elvis, who rides her out every day, is convinced that she will finish in the money.

"Penny's Pearl won well first time out at Newmarket and the second, third, fourth and fifth have won since, but she got sick afterwards and we were unable to run her in the Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley.

"She is fine again now and won't be disgraced, though whether our two are drawn on the right side is debatable."

Two great rides from Moore
