Where's the best resource for form? The run of Black Caviar last year really opened my eyes to how good these 5 days are, it's always just been out of the timezone. Out of sight, out of mind. But jeez I was wrapped up in the whole 5 days last year, and keen to do it all again.

Unfortunately Seth's link doesn't work on my phone, so scoping out as much form and fields as I can, any help would be awesome!

I use Racing Post - http://www.racingpost.com/ - should have all the form you will need.

Some free video replays are available at:

At The Races - http://www.attheraces.com/
Racing UK - http://www.racinguk.com/
 
Racing post is the form guide I use as well.

Really looking forward to the St James Palace,3 very exciting young horses clash.
2000 Guineas winner & Derby fave & flop Godolphin's Dawn Approach meets Irish 2000 Guineas winner Magician & 2000 Guineas 4th Toronado who ran well below expectations.

Day 1

Queen Anne

2.Animal Kingdom should be too good in what looks a weak edition of the Queen Anne. There are doubts about his ability to handle the straight turf track but that might just mean a better price.6.Gregorian might be over the odds after a nice win at Epsom on Derby Day, although he did have all the favors there.


King's Stand

Looks an impossible race if 11.Shea Shea doesn't win but I think I'd rather save on him and look for value somewhere else. Local hope 10.Shamexpress can feature if at his best (and owes me after running down Moment of Change in the Newmarket), but make sure you back him at Betfair so you get a reasonable price. Best of the local hopes appears to be 18.Reckless Abandon who was a multiple Group 1 winner at two, and 15.Swiss Spirit who was unlucky not to win the Temple last time out.

St James's Palace

As seth pointed out a race in three, but I have to be on 1.Dawn Approach as I try to win my money back after his Derby flop. He was dominant in the 2000 Guineas and if he reproduces that form he simply wins. 6.Magician was a stunning Irish Guineas winner and presents the main danger despite a midweek injury scare, while I am willing to risk 9.Toronado after his flop in the Guineas.


Coventry Stakes


14.Thunder Strike appeals here after a stunning win at Epsom on Derby Day and can be backed at decent EW odds. The favorite 12.Stubbs comes here after back-to-back Ireland wins and while the form is largely unproven at this stage Aidan O'Brien's runner can't be discounted.

Ascot Stakes


7.Tiger Cliff looks untapped an unexposed, and will be the sentimental favorite being previously trained by the late Sir Henry Cecil. Outside of that it is a lottery.

Windsor Castle

A lazy 28 largely untested 2yo's scamper down the 5f straight course in the last - I hope you're already in front! 2.Anticipated comes out of the yard of 2yo specialist Richard Hannon, and with Richard Hughes on board he looks the stables leading fancy. 18.Sacha Park looms as a value EW selection, especially if Stubbs has run well in the Coventry, as it finished close up to that runner last time out in Listed grade.
 
Day 1
St James's Palace

As seth pointed out a race in three, but I have to be on 1.Dawn Approach as I try to win my money back after his Derby flop. He was dominant in the 2000 Guineas and if he reproduces that form he simply wins. 6.Magician was a stunning Irish Guineas winner and presents the main danger despite a midweek injury scare, while I am willing to risk 9.Toronado after his flop in the Guineas.

Good luck,nice horse but the way he pulled in the Derby I cant have him @2.3,even back in trip.
Seems like an afterthought.Got a feeling Toronado will get to silly odds,thought he ran well in the Guineas but didnt handle the going when the pressure went on.Race of the day for me

Don't know what to make of shamexpress tonight, finished off the newmarket handicap so well, and even though he is dropping back to 1000m, the ascot straight probably feels more like 1200m with that incline.

Weights normally don't matter too much in a 1000m race, but uphill and 9kg more then that newmarket run must certainly make it tough.

What did MoC carry in the newmarket? I know it lumped around 59 in one race, can't remember if it was the newmarket or the lightning.

Once again the World Cup form doesnt stand up at Ascot although he went a furlong below his best.

No wonder Shea Shea is on the drift,plenty of money for the 3yo Reckless Abandon here.
Reckon Shamexpress will need every bit of the 1000m

Each way surely can't go wrong for Shamexpress, I think it's a awesome chance
