EASIER ground is forecast for Royal Ascot today (Friday) with heavy showers forecast, so it might be worth spotting soft-ground performers worthy of each-way support.
INDIAN INK (3.45) fits the bill when taking on the might Finsceal Beo, whose only below-par run came when second in the French Guineas.
Mi Emma, who has been running away from good fillies in Germany, is a real danger to all.
The Queens Vase over two miles requires an out and out stayer and although Mahler and Hearthstead Maison are well fancied, on pedigree DARESTAN (4.55) has the profile to get this ultra-distance two-mile slog.
Black Charmer did us a favour last week, but Hunt Cup withdrawal PRIDE OF NATION is held in high regard and with the rain should be up to the job.
HEAVEN SENT ran well in a Group 3 last week and drops in class to this listed event.
