Master trainer Willie Mullins rarely leaves Royal Ascot without a winner and SOBER looks to have been laid out for this unique test following a comfortable success over hurdles at Killarney last month. Formerly with Andre Fabre in France where he landed a pair of Group 2's over staying trips, he may have too much class for most of the opposition. Third in the Copper Horse Stakes earlier in the week, Samui should relish going up in trip and looks the main danger, along with Dallas Star, who has strong claims on his penultimate second to Kyprios at Leopardstown. |
Less competitive than usual and a race in which jumping big guns Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott field the two likely protagonists. SOBER may be the answer for Mullins, with this 6yo's French form reading very well in this context provided he is as good now. A hurdles win last month was encouraging while this trip is likely to be within range. Samui ran very well here on Tuesday and will be a big danger if in the same form upped markedly in trip now. Wild Waves is the best of the remainder. |
