Ascot Gold Cup with Wick.

The big race at Royal Ascot on Thursday is the Gold Cup which has attracted a field of top class
distance runners. Last years winner Yeats, is again a hot favourite, Sergeant Cecil is the best of
the rest.
In the Britannia Stakes Jamie Oborne,s Slate is having a good season, another with an excellent
chance is Mark Johnston,s Colorado Rapid who is also in form and you can be sure you will get
value for your money from any Johnston runner.
On Friday theKing Edward v11 Stakes has a strong international flavour and Aiden O,Brien and
Mark Johnston both have strong hands. In the Coronation Stakes O,Brien again has several
runners but this time the French provide the main challenge.
