ROYAL Ascot starts on Tuesday and trainers are looking a feelgood factor going into the blue riband week of racing include Middleham's Mark Johnston, who has BLACK CHARMER running at Sandown at 2.25pm..
A smart sort when placed in a Group 2 race as a two-year-old he was then injured but has been given time to get off the setback and looks set to rekindle his career.
He should be turned up to have the edge over hot favourite Partners in Jazz, with Bahiano also a big price at 14s and one for each-way backers.
PUSKAS is going well for Milt Bradley now that he's over a leg problem and was an eye-catching second at Musselburgh. He can strike while the iron is hot in the 4.10.
Irish raider CONTEST is on the upgrade and David Watchman's raider has a touch of class to improve enough to thwart Hoh Mike in the 3.35.
Nostril's blow-by-blow of Royal Ascot five-day spectacular is on the way .....
