We’re still wiping our mouths after taking a whacking at Epsom - the theory about following Goldolphin proved way off the mark, epitomised by Kite Wood’s mediocre Derby effort - and Midday’s narrow defeat still hurts!
However, if Cheltenham is our favourite jumps meeting of the year then our top Flat meeting is only a week away in the shape of the fabulous Royal Ascot.
Let’s hope we replicate our punting success at the Festival and we’re very hopeful as we’ve got a mix of strong form fancies and interesting inside info to think about already.

After a spell where we couldn’t find a value bet despite scouring the racing programme, we’re back with an account bet in the Dante Stakes at York (2.40).
Crowded House makes absolutely no appeal at 6/4 favourite so we’re going to row in with the back-to-form Godolphin team and the hugely promising Kite Wood.
Trained by the excellent Michael Jarvis last term, this progressive colt is available at 13/2 with Ladbrokes (6/1 with Paddy Power) and is worth a 0.5 point each-way investment.
We’d also suggest a small each-way bet on Kite Wood at 20/1 for the Derby with Sportingbet (16s generally) as the word from the Goldolphin camp is positive.
It’s a tough Dante but, win or lose, there’s a poor value favourite and we’re happy to bet.
We’ll try to update the website more regularly now the season is kicking into full gear but we most certainly won’t bet until the time and the odds are right.
