Royal Ascot Thursday 16:50 - w/o Organise

oddschecker Verdict

Just about any of these could win a typically puzzling Britannia, but a chance is taken on ST ANTON. The Richard Hannon-trained Mehmas colt seems to only do enough, as evidenced by his recent Newmarket and Carlisle wins, so the handicapper hasn't been too harsh. This is sure to be strongly-run and if getting the breaks required in such a big field, he may well represent some value. Oisin Murphy has ridden two of the previous five winners of this contest and appears to have another big chance courtesy of runaway Newmarket scorer We're Goosers. Laureate Crown was able to power past Organise at Sandown, but the runner-up has been gelded since and now sports first-time cheekpieces. Outback Heat already has a C&D win on his CV and should not be overlooked in the capable hands of Kaiya Fraser and watch out for Exclusive Code, who won a warm Newbury maiden in April.

Prediction: 1st St Anton, 2nd Were Goosers, 3rd Organise
