Royal Ascot Tips: Back improving Irish filly to leave her rivals in a spin at 20/1

Albany Stakes, Ascot, 14:30 - Back Dubai Charm each-way @ 100/1101.00

8 (21)

Dubai Charm (Ire)

• J: Neil Callan
• T: Richard Hughes
• F:

Given that Ballydoyle have proved nearly impossible to resist in the juvenile races at this meeting, the well-backed and touted Sun Goddess is likely to take a great deal of beating in this day four opener.

She clearly has quality and class in abundance, but all of the fancy prices have disappeared quicker than Thomas Tuchel's critics so I would rather take a chance at a huge price on a filly that could prove a little better than her odds suggest.

Step forward Dubai Charm who found herself stuck in the mud at Yarmouth last time behind impressive debutante Silent Beauty who justified some sizeable support to score well for the Amo operation.

The selection has six lengths to make up, but the switch to a faster surface should help her close that gap and the price differential between the duo might be too wide, especially as Richard Hughes' filly also posted a strong speed figure on her debut behind King's Prize at Nottingham.

I can't resist a modest each-way bet at her enormous odds and we saw a similar type in Crownbreaker bounce back from a seemingly below-par run on soft ground in the Queen Mary earlier this week.

Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes, Ascot, 15:40 - Back Mondo Man each-way @ 8/19.00 (NAP)

3 (10)

Mondo Man

• J: Christophe Soumillon
• T: Gary & Josh Moore
• F:

Having finished eight lengths behind Calandagan here in the King Edward VII Stakes a couple of years ago, Mondo Man catches the eye contesting his first handicap on the level.

The Mondialiste gelding exploited a nice mark over hurdles to win the Imperial Cup back in March and has been freshened up since disappointing in the Sussex Champion Hurdle which looked a little like an afterthought following his Sandown heroics.

The booking of Christophe Soumillon looks a statement of intent by a shrewd operation and Mondo Man should relish the rigours of this race.

Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes, Ascot, 15:40 - Back Omni Man each-way @ 11/112.00

9 (4)

Omni Man (Ire)

• J: D. B. McMonagle
• T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien, Ireland
• F:

Joseph O'Brien is double-handed here and Emit was very much on my shortlist for this event following an eye-catching effort at the Curragh when easy to back last time.

However, his odds contracted significantly yesterday so he is reluctantly overlooked in preference for Omni Man who appears to have had this race as a target all season.

This season, the selection has yet to tackle 12 furlongs - a trip over which he excelled at the Goodwood festival last year - with two runs over shorter serving to see him ease a fraction in the handicap ahead of his return to a mile and a half.

Given the way O'Brien's week has panned out, Omni Man looks worth supporting with five places on offer and a more suitable test of stamina on offer.

Sandringham Stakes, Ascot, 17:00 - Back Green Carrera each-way @ 16/117.00

20 (30)

Green Carrera

• J: Mickael Barzalona
• T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien, Ireland
• F:

The booking of Mickael Barzalona and stall 30 makes Green Carrera an enticing proposition in this typically competitive renewal.

The lightly-raced daughter of Lope De Vega has changed hands since landing some tidy wagers at the Curragh last time when she arguably hit the front a little too soon under Dylan Browne McMonagle.

McMonagle would struggle to meet the weight of the selection here so Barzalona is called up from the sub's bench and a mark of 86 may appear lenient for a filly who was stuck on the wing last time and forced to challenge away from the favoured far rail.

The prospect of a genuine gallop should suit a strong traveller like Green Carrera and she may enhance her trainer's brilliant week still further with a prominent showing.

Sandringham Stakes, Ascot, 17:00 - Back Spinning Around each-way @ 20/121.00

27 (12)

Spinning Around (Ire)

• J: W. M. Lordan
• T: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien, Ireland
• F:

The theme of this week has been that if one O'Brien doesn't get you, then another one might.

That could again be the case here with Spinning Around who responded positively to the first-time tongue tie at the Curragh last time and might make a bold bid to lift this for Donnacha O'Brien.

Given her breeding, the daughter of Australia has been doing well to win over as short as seven furlongs and she beat my other selection, Green Carrera, with a little in hand when the pair met early last month.

O'Brien immediately nominated the Sandringham as a potential target and stretching out to a mile could well bring about further improvement.
