The weather gods have appreciated all the sacrifices and will give a nice day in return.

Wednesday's card starts off with the Queen Mary G2 for 2yo fillies over the 1000m which makes it the girls version of the Coventry.  There will be 27 going to post which is a lot of youngsters to get into the gates.  Yesterday two got pulled out and scratched after they became fractious in the gates so who knows what will happen.  The market has Beautiful Diamond on 10/3 on top but that is after just a debut win so we prefer Relief Rally on 11/2 for Haggas-Marquand and the Kodiac daughter has two wins from two starts to date.  Jane Chapple-Hyam saddles Born to Rock 7/1 and has booked William Buick to ride this daughter of Soldier's Call.  Midnight Affair 8/1 is by Dark Angel and is trained by Richard Fahey with Dan Tudhope to ride.  Two American raiders here – Crimson Advocate by Nyquist on 11/1 who ran well at Gulfstream and Budchen 14/1 by Gun Runner our of a Speightstown mare.

The Duke of Cambridge is 1600m straight for f&m with 10 runners and we have no problem with Jumbly on 2/1 being the favourite (Joseph O'Brien – Ryan Moore) ahead of Prosperous Voyage 5/2 Beckett-Dettori.  Grande Dame is 5/1 for the Gosdens with Jamie Spencer riding and Queen Aminatu is 8/1 for Haggas-Marquand.

The Prince of Wales's Stakes is G1 over 2000m and only 6 runners headed by the O'Brien Luxembourg who will be under Ryan Moore.  Adayer is on 11/4 for Appleby-Buick and My Prospero 10/3 for Haggas-Marquand.
