Royal Ascot

Friday, June 20, 2025FlatClass 25f

A typically highly competitive renewal and a 4-timer could be beckoning for the fast-improving HAMMER THE HAMMER who looked a sprinter to follow when dominating from the front at Chester last month. Ruby's Profit did best of those who raced close to the strong pace in the Epsom Dash and could still be underestimated by her mark. She's feared most ahead of handicap debutant Realign who looked destined for better things when routing the opposition in a Salisbury novice last month.

    €550,000 breeze-up purchase has improved with each start and got off the mark with ease following 9 months off when making all for an easy victory at Salisbury (6f) last month, looking destined for bigger things. Has the speed to cope with 5f and open to further improvement on handicap debut.

    5f winner on final 2-y-o outing and took a significant step forward on second start in handicap company when coming from off the pace to land the Epsom Dash under this rider, having been taking off her feet early in a strongly-run race. More on her plate from 5 lb higher but will get similar set-up.

    Progressive sprinter made it a hat-trick when winning in impressive fashion at Chester (6f) 44 days ago, fast away to lead from the widest stall and never looked like stopping. Should prove every bit as effective returned to 5f and may well prove even better than a handicapper in time.
