WITH the racing this weekend hardly being inspiring, I have decided to take a look forward to the big Royal Ascot meeting next week (Tuesday through Saturday inclusive).

It is a mix of ultra-competitive big-field handicaps, the start of the big races for the juveniles and of course plenty of group race action from the highest level down to Group three events. So here are my best of the next few days based on good to firm ground.

Tuesday

Winners of the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas, Chaldean and Paddington are sure to be popular for the St James’s Palace Stakes (4.20) and both probably have their best days ahead of them, but at respective odds of 2/1 and 9/4, I would much rather have a hefty each-way play on INDESTRUCTIBLE.
