LORD NORTH (3.00 Ascot)
The 1m2f Prince Of Wales’s Stakes is complicated by the lack of an obvious pacesetter but I still want to chance LORD NORTH at a double-figure price.
John Gosden’s four-year-old took his record over this trip to two from to when scoring narrowly in Group 3 company at Haydock on his recent comeback and now has form figures of 11211 (4-5) on officially good or softer going.
He’s tactically versatile, winning in both small and big fields, and has the able assistance of in-form James Doyle.

AFAAK (3.35 Ascot)
AFAAK (stall 18) has disappointed since narrowly landing the Royal Hunt Cup (3.35) last year off a 3lb lower mark but has had excuses on account of the draw or trip and can be backed to stage a revival.
His full record over course and distance stands at 7421 (1-4), with the first defeat coming in a field of 29 runners in the 2017 Britannia Stakes when third best of the unfavoured stands’ side group. He was also second in this race in 2018 and hasn’t had many opportunities on soft ground, recording form figures of 141 (2-3)
