Royal Ascot - day three

Great result yesterday with Field Of Dream coming home the comfortable winner of the Royal Hunt Cup @ 28/1 (SP 20/1). That earned us 35 points profit on the day. 

Readers of this month's London Racing Club magazine will know my liking for non-handicap races with advantageous each-way terms. Such a race was the Prince Of Wales's Stakes yesterday with eight runners, an 8/13 favourite and most bookmakers offering 1/4 odds a place. 

The Norfolk Stakes has a similar shape today. Nine runners, an even money favourite and 1/4 odds a place offered by most firms. AOB supplies the market choice but the yard has not really sparkled here as yet. Pricewise opposes the favourite with the unexposed American challenger but I prefer Mukhmal the unbeaten Johnston colt. Paul Hanagan's mount won from the outside draw at Chester - not an easy thing to do - thanks to some blistering early pace. I have had: 

14:30A 2pts ew Mukhmal @ 11/2 Betfred BOG (1/4 odds 1,2,3)

Four points staked.
