"Vanderpoel is a very well treated horse. I think back in trips, he didn't see it out last time. Yeah, I think he'll go very close."
"I'm going for an Ascot specialist back at Ascot: Victtorino. It was disappointing in the race formerly known as the Hennessy, the Coral Gold Cup, but back at Ascot this horse has an unbelievable record there. I think he needed the run. He's my pick this week."
"I'm gonna go for Wilful. I'm hoping that Jonjo and AJ O'Neill's stable are gonna be picking up their form a little bit. Horse has got really good form with Celtic Dino, Alexei, horses have obviously risen in the handicap, and therefore makes Wilful fairly well handicapped. I'm hoping that he gives me another winner."
