Verdict

This always provides a strong betting market and a shortlist is not an apt description of those that hold chances. Mutawaqed, Dazzling Bay and High Reach are all likely to come in for solid support, while the likes of Texas Gold and Coconut Penang have had this race as a long-standing training target and can be expected to be spot on for the day. However, recent form gives Pivotal Point a cracking chance if his exertions have not taken too much out of him and, as he would not be risked if they had, he gets the nomination. Seb Sanders, who has the highest strike-rate of any jockey here over the last five years, takes over the riding duties and his knowledge of the course will be a vital tool as things unfold. The work that the ground staff have put in to combat the bias of the draw seems to have finally reaped a dividend and, as runners of the stands side have enjoyed more than their fare share of the spoils this week, a position in stall one may also be beneficial for the selection. A field this size obviously allows a few corners to be covered and the bang-in-form Caribbean Coral makes plenty of appeal out of the remainder. John Quinn's charge has done nothing but improve this season and is worth a small investment at double figure odds despite the fact he is creeping up the weights. This final point also gives further credence to supporting Pivotal Point though, as he has plenty of scope for further improvement from his current mark. Yet another boost is the fact that Jimmy Ryan boosted his Ascot form from the same draw on yesterday's card. So there is plenty in Pivotal Point's favour as he bids to land the biggest prize of his career so far.
