5.00 – Roman Dragon
This horse did well over the winter, winning a valuable prize in Bahrain. He was also victorious last time out at the Chester May Meeting where he was extremely game. The handicapper has put him up 3lb for his latest success.
We have been drawn in stall 18 which hopefully puts up on the right side of the track. The Wokingham is a race that should suit him, as they go hard from the stalls. My horse finishes strongly, so he should be picking quite a few of these off at the business end of the race.
6.10 – King Of The Road
After a good campaign over hurdles, King Of The Road is having his first Flat run in the Queen Alexandra Stakes. One thing that is certain about this horse is that he stays well. The distance will not be a problem for him.
The ground is likely to be on the quick side, but if I can get him in a nice position early, we can hopefully put some of the runners behind us under pressure. In staying races, it is great to be on a horse you know will get the trip.
