Ascot Day 3: Patkai can lower Yeats’ colours
The feature race of the day at Royal Ascot is the Gold Cup (3.45) over two and a half miles. Of course all of the pre-race build-up has surrounded 3-time Gold Cup winner Yeats but his run has to end sometime and in Patkai there is an animal with the potential to finally lower the great 8 year-olds colours. Ryan Moore’s mount clearly absolutely loves the track, having won the Queen’s Vase by 7 lengths last year and absolutely hacked up in the Woodcote (9 length win) back in April before coming second to Geordieland in the Henry II at Sandown last month. He didn’t get the ideal run that day and back in Berkshire I think the rest could find him very difficult to beat. At 3/1 with BetUK he is a decent price.
