2:00 Ayr -
Celebrity Dancer won well on debut for Kevin Ryan. Finished third next start at Pontefract when stepping up in class.
Tim Easterby's Amadeus Grey has been runner-up on the last two starts, both at auction class.
The third entrant is Mark Johnston's Royal Big Night, who started his career at York although well beaten.
6:10 Windsor -
A competitive 6f race on good to firm going.
Boa Nova won quite well on debut at Bath, in what turned out to be a scrappy affair. Brian Meehan's two-year-old headed to Royal Ascot and unplaced in the Coventry (Group 2) when 100/1.
Kevin Ryan's Sense Of Belonging ran well on debut at York in a classy race. This son of Dutch Art was made odds on next start at Hamilton when racing on soft going. By all accounts this was a poor run. Whether this was due to soft ground or because he took a keen hold could be reasons. Ryan has entered this chestnut colt for the Phoenix Stakes (Group 1). Connections will be expecting a big run here from a prime draw.
In addition, Swiper has received an entry and beaten favourite over course and distance.
6:30 Ripon -
One of Charles Hills significant entrants. Hawayel finished unplaced in the Albany Stakes (Group 3).
1:40 Hamilton -
Quite a restricted race type which favours horses with race experience. Usain Bolt ran well on debut over five furlongs as if needing the run and most likely an extra furlong. He won next start when stepping up to six furlongs at Newmarket. Then dipping his toe into a tough Woodcote Stakes at Epsom. This son of Casamento was no challenger to the easy winner but plugged on to take second place. Has to defy a win penalty and dropping back to the minimum trip. Hamilton is a stiff course, and he may not be found wanting for pace, but it could be the case he is. Not sure if I would jump in at short odds because if outpaced mid race will be much bigger odds on the exchanges.
2:10 Hamilton -
Kevin Ryan is a calculated trainer and not one to give significant entries for the fun of it. Sense Of Belonging started his racing career in a valuable Maiden Stakes over 6f at York. He ran on well, after taking a keen hold, and finished third. This is the only juvenile Ryan has given a Phoenix Stakes (Group 1) entry. Unless there is a real surprise package, should be hard to beat at odds-on.
2:30 Royal Ascot -
Highlight of the day the Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2).
