Pat Cooney has looked at the card for Day Three of Royal Ascot and has provided us with his three selections.
Thursday's card is headlined by the Ascot Gold Cup, where the likes of Eldar Eldarov, Coltrane and Subjectivist are battling it out for glory.
Here are Pat's selections for Thursday's racing...
Wonder Legend
Thursday 22nd June
3:05 - King George V Stakes
Current odds: 9/1
Pat Cooney's verdict - He was a particularly impressive winner last time out at Doncaster, he has a progressive profile and the step up in trip should suit him.
Al Asifah
Thursday 22nd June
3:40 - Ribblesdale Stakes
Current odds: 4/5
Pat Cooney's verdict - A hugely impressive filly when she won at Goodwood last time out. She caught the eye of a lot of people when she quickened up throughout the race. She's got the raw talent to her name, she might just be the best three-year-old filly in Europe.
Eldar Eldarov
Thursday 22nd June
4:20 - Gold Cup
Current odds: 9/2
Pat Cooney's verdict - He won the St Leger and he made a real satisfactory reappearance at the Dante meeting. He's the highest-rated horse in the race and he's open to further improvement.
