Looking back, I see that I backed Yeats last year for his third victory over the marathon distance. This year I'm not convinced. Again I had the winner of yesterday's big race, though was disappointed to have my choice in the Royal Hunt Cup, Roaring Forte, removed after the fracas at the start. I now have had three winners from twelve selections, a 25% strike rate.
2:30 Norfolk Stakes (5f): Royal Chevalier
3:05 Ribblesdale Stakes (1m 4f): Leocorno
3:45 Gold Cup (2m 4f): Patkai
4:20 Britannia Stakes (1m): Brief Encounter
4:55 Hampton Court Stakes (1m 2f): Freemantle
5:30 King George V Stakes (1m 4f): Highland Glen
