Paul Ferguson has three selections for us on Thursday; Mirage Dancer 15:05, Mori 15:40 and Order Of St George 16:20 all at Royal Ascot. Compare odds and bet.
Brought along gradually this season Order Of St George (4:20) is expected to peak once again this afternoon and repeat last year’s success in the Ascot Gold Cup.
Runner-up on his reappearance, Aidan O’Brien’s five-year-old finished strongly when landing the Saval Beg Stakes and we know that quick ground is not an issue.
Earlier on the card, his stable-mate Alluringly heads the market for the Ribblesdale Stakes, based on her third in the Oaks. She certainly sets the form standard, but Mori (3:40) arrives here the fresher and promises to be well suited by this step up in trip.
Sir Michael Stoute’s beautifully bred filly is progressing steadily having won her maiden at the track and she stayed she on stoutly when landing the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood last month.
It could be a big day for Stoute and owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, who are also represented by Mirage Dancer (3:05) in the Hampton Court Stakes.
A Doncaster maiden winner last October, he caught many an eye when fourth behind Cliffs Of Moher in the Dee Stakes and he looks capable of stepping forward considerably. Again, he is arrives here fresh and a big run looks on the cards.
Thursday’s selections:
3:05 Royal Ascot: Mirage Dancer; 4/1 Skybet
3:40 Royal Ascot: Mori; 7/2 Paddy Power
4:20 Royal Ascot: Order Of St George; evens bet365
