Ok, Yeats was a complete disaster for us, but sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say well done, what an unbelievable horse! Although we may never see the likes of him again, the quality on offer today on Day 4 is not to be sniffed at.

The highlight of the card is the Coronation Stakes that sees the clash of the English, French and Irish 1,000 Guineas winners, not to mention the top rated two year filly from last year in Rainbow View, we have a serious race on our hands! Tactics could play a massive part in this race, which always leans me towards the UK challengers as I’ve seen top many French jockeys grab defeat from the jaws of victory here to last me a lifetime! The Irish Guineas winner Again has shown all her best form on softish ground, and she looks a stayer to me rather than a horse with a burst of acceleration, she may struggle.

Ghanaati won very well at Newmarket but I think she has had her day in the limelight, as many behind her that day had their valid excuses. The one I’m going for is Rainbow View each way. She looked a superstar last year but we always knew she had her quirks, show me a female who doesn’t? She was never traveling at Newmarket and she was badly baulked making her challenge at Epsom, I can see her settling off a frantic gallop to be produced late under Jimmy Fortune to nail them all.

The other highlight on the card is the King Edward VII Stakes, over the Derby Distance. The jolly is sure to be Black Bear Island who was fancied in some quarters for the Epsom Derby after winning the Dante Trial at York. I’m not going to buy into the excuse that he never handled the track there, as he was the first one beaten and they had only gone a couple of furlongs. The Derby was less than two weeks ago so I cannot have him at all! The one for me here is Native Ruler,trained by the master Sir Henry Cecil. With stamina not an issue for him, and the race lacking any real depth in quality, he is sure to go very close at a very backable price

Best of Luck on Day 4
