Ascot Gold Cup Tip

Our Ascot Gold Cup tip is the Andre Fabre trained French raider, Coastal Path. Like many we feel that Yeats will have to be better than ever to win the Gold Cup for a third time and as good as he is there will be a real class act against him in Coastal Path. Unbeaten after six races, the trainer enters Coastal Path with great confidence even though he has yet to run over the trip. However he has won most of his races with reasonable ease and the trip should be well within his capability and there is little doubt about his stamina. Andre Fabre would not remotely consider entering him unless he sniffed a win especially as it is well known in racing circles that he thinks a great deal of this Khaled Abdullah owned horse. Another strong indicator is that Bookies have reported plenty of money for the French horse and indeed his odds have already been cut twice.

Yeats is a magnificent animal, who was sent off last year by trainer, Aiden O’Brien as odds on favourite, with Mick Kinane on board. This year it will be Johnny Murtagh’s turn to deliver him past the winning post to take the first leg of the ‘Stayers Triple Crown’. He would be the most popular winner of the meeting should he get home, and he will certainly be the pick of the ladies on their big Royal Ascot day out. Another O’Brien stayer, Septimus will also take his chance in the race and he is listed as third favourite. Odds currently are 5/4 Yeats, 3/1 Coastal Path, 4/1 Septimus, 10/1 Geordieland, 14/1 Sagara, 20/1 Allegretto.
