For the second year in a row, Regional made the frame in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at the Royal meeting. He has strong claims back over this extra furlong, although he could only manage fourth 12 months ago behind decisive winner ELITE STATUS. Karl Burke's sprinter was not at his best at Ascot last month, but remains unbeaten here and first-time cheekpieces can help bring about a revival. The suspicion remains that last season's third Kind Of Blue would prefer soft ground and Jarraaf may prove a bigger threat. |
A few of these are closely matched on their best form but some of them haven't been performing well of late. That swings the vote firmly in favour of REGIONAL, who was off the track after a slightly below-par fourth in this last year but has resumed with two excellent efforts in Group 1s at 6f and then 5f this season. He looks by far the likeliest of the form principals to run to form again now. Last year's winner Elite Status is two from two at Newbury and may be next best ahead of last season's Group 1 Ascot winner Kind Of Blue, who has likewise failed to fire as yet this season but will be a live danger to all if reviving. Seasonal debutants King's Gamble and Khaadem are both of some interest at bigger prices too. |
