Probably making a mistake by tipping an odds-on, but it will probably go off shorter than this. I would be worried if it didn't, as it should only have to run near to the latest effort to take this.

Got no prices up for this race here, but 10/3 is available for this at the moment. No doubt it will go off shorter than that, but will probably finish 2nd like most of my tips anyway. Grrrr... Caught a tartar last time and should go well with improvement still to come, hopefully.

Been in great form recently, beating main market rivals comfortably. Will do so again if still in that same sort of form today. Although they can't be in peak form all the time, so I am not usually surprised when a good thing on paper gets overturned. Hopefully not today though ;-)

A bit disappointing last time, but the previous effort was a nice win having Dixie's Memory behind. Although it was that one's debut and has won well since, it didn't beat much. So, this could take this with a similar effort of that previous victory.

Full brother to Saratoga Derby (Turf) winner World Beater. Promised on debut (5 1/2f dirt) when running on strongly, not far behind today's favorite, Final Score. Up in trip on turf today, which should suit nicely (dam was also a course winner on the turf). 11/2 is available elsewhere.

Nothing between Alexis Zorba and Billionaires Row on their last run against each other, so they may well fight it out. But this one looks a bit overpriced at 7/1. It's been running respectably against some tougher opposition, so could go well here after a layoff...i wouldnt stake my life on it though;-)

Hasn't been suited by the drop back to sprinting the last couple of runs. Previous two efforts over this type of trip were much better, so should go much better now back up in trip. Drops to claiming company for the first time today, and having Saez on board is usually a bonus.

Should find this level a bit easier than recent contests. The trainer had 3 out of 3 winners yesterday with horses that had been getting well beaten recently, and this one looks like it should be another if bouncing back to near best in a very modest contest.

Trainer's other runner looks the most likely winner, but this one could run better than its odds as it ran close up on the first run for this barn last time. Any improvement on that could well be enough to win. Rev/forecast with his other runner might be the way to go.

Won easily in a similar race last time with most of these behind. Only an odds-on shot, but should only need to run anywhere close to best to take this. Plus, I need to get some winners on the board just to break that losing feeling ;-)

Looked as if maybe coming back into form with a decent effort last time and could go around close up on the outside. Shakeurskinnylegs is usually vulnerable late on, and Box Step has been off a long time. Out My Dear is up to winning this on a going day but hasn't run great recently, so going with a couple of the bigger prices in an open-looking race.

Some solid recent efforts from this veteran. So, in a race that won't be surprised what wins, going for a couple of the better-priced ones. This could get a good position just behind the pace and could assert late if things fall right.

Had a layoff since the latest run when fractious at the start and not running up to previous effort. That previous effort was a good run when finishing in front of today's odds-on favorite, even though starting slowly. Could do that again today if in the same sort of form as that run. Lightly raced, so should have some improvement to come.

I am a bit split between this and David's Gem here, as they look like the two with a slight class edge. But neither is guaranteed to be 100% fit today, so I would keep stakes to a minimum. This one was off a long layoff last time and wasn't given a hard time of it, keeping on well under a hand ride to finish 4th. It will hopefully be sharper for that run today, so it should go well if doing so.

Better than finishing position last time, only beaten a few lengths by the winner in a bit stronger race than this. That was a much-improved effort from previous few runs. Last win was over CD from this draw when making all, so might be ready to do so again today.

Didn't run well last time but was slowly away and didn't get the best of trips. So, willing to write that one off. Has some decent efforts against some tough opposition previously and could find this test a bit less demanding. So, might be worth chancing at around 7/1.

Not sure why they have got this price up as it's nearly double this all day. Has had a long layoff and changed trainer since last run, but ran two promising efforts over shorter, running on each time as if a step up in trip would suit. New barn in decent form, so might be worth chancing at around 7/1, but fitness today is a question mark.

Reasons to Drink looks the obvious one as it has finished in front of all of these in its two runs so far. But a case can be made for a few that might improve enough to beat it, including this one which stumbled a bit at the start on its debut and was not given a hard race, coasting home but not beaten far in the end. Could improve plenty today, so at a double-figure price, it looks worth a go.

Good effort last time, running on strongly into 2nd. Extra half furlong will suit. Couple of lengths behind Akimbo last time it ran against it, but didn't get the best of trips then, and this one could be on the improve now. Going with this one at the prices (7/2).

Have already picked one in this so far, which was fairly priced. But this one also looks a decent price at 10/1. Disappointed last time, but could bounce back today with a better start on first run for new trainer.

Eyecatcher on debut, having to check up early and losing a lot of ground. Ran on strongly to finish a close second, so would certainly have won without that mishap at the start. Steps up in trip today, which looks like it will suit. 2nd fav has some consistent form but looks exposed, so this one should be good enough to take this without having to improve much, if at all.

Respectable effort at Royal Ascot after a promising debut when just caught over this trip at Keeneland. Should find this company much less demanding, although 2nd fav Montador is a bit of an unknown quantity after showing promise over further on the dirt first time out.
