Why it matters
It serves as a practical guide for sports bettors and racing enthusiasts looking to make informed decisions on a major sporting event.
Keith's view: Probably found 6f at Ascot too much in the Wokingham, but a good gallop over 5f back there next time did the trick and he put up a career best. This speedier 6f should be fine, and William Buick takes the ride, but in stall two you'll need to get your binoculars out to see him.
Trainer's view Hugo Palmer: "They both have good chances. Dubai Bling is a smaller, more nimble type who was criminally unlucky in the Wokingham, but he's going to need luck again because he likes to come from behind. He's better at this six furlongs and he was very good at five the other day."
