14:30 Royal Ascot

Some really nice fillies lining up for the Albany this year as you’d expect and SOPRANO impressed me enough on debut at Newmarket to make her a strong play here. She was quite fresh and keen which is obviously perfectly normal first time out but I loved the way she travelled into it and she won despite learning on the job. The runner-up Midnight Affair ran creditably in the Queen Mary earlier in the week and the third Indispensable won next time out so the form certainly has substance. I expect her to leave that bare form behind anyway as she is open to plenty of improvement and looks a leading player under William Buick. Jabaara overcame inexperience to win on debut and it was quite taking how she hit the line. She has a bit to find on the clock but clearly has a bright future so might be the danger. Carla’s Way was also impressive on debut and she will likely also be in the mix.

Soprano - 1pt @ 5/1
