RARELY are top-class fillies kept in training after proving themselves so we shoudl be grateful LUSH LASHES is still on the scene and runnng at Royal Ascot today (Tuesday).
Jim Bolger's daughter of Galileo will have an edge put on her by a good reappearance run and the Coronation Cup winner looks to have an easier task in the Windsor Forest Stakes.
ASHRAM can get Saeed bin Suroor off the mark in the Jersey Stakes despite a 3lb penalty, while Henry Cecl's TWICE OVER is preferred to Tartan Bearer in the St James's Palace Stakes, who may not be suited to the drop back to a mile and a quarter.
The Royal Hunt Cup is a real Cavalry charge but Kevin Ryan's FLAWED GENIUS won the Thirsk Hunt Cup and has been cleverly handed with this race in mind.
He is likely to start at 20-1-plus and might be worth a little each-way in what looks a wide-open contest.
