The Top Spitter Hugh Taylor made the winner of Britannia Stakes (12/1) on Thursday and now has three Friday selections for the fourth day of Royal Ascot, all live on Sky Sports Racing.

It is regrettable that Mount Atlas increased by 4 LB after finishing fifth from the Ormonde Stakes the last time, but it always calls on like the type to win a great handicap this year, and it should go to the Duke of Edinburgh stakes (3.40).

He overcome a constant pace to win the handicap of John Guest during this course and this distance last year, and this race worked very well.

He went again as in front of his mark for a long way in the old Rowley Cup in Newmarket, simply incapable of facing a big improver, but beating the rest by far.

During his seasonal beginnings in Kempton, he undoubtedly designed the best when the fourth behind his stable companion (and specialist of all time) Teumessas Fox in the handicap of Rosebery, chasing a fierce rhythm and clearly launching himself early in the right, but vulnerable to more cautious closures in the last two Furlongs.

He ran as well as it could have been expected in the face of a steep task in the issues of Ormonde the last time, and although his ascension of 4 subsequent LB is more difficult, it is difficult to challenge the four horses before him, were all evaluated 110 or more.

Mount Atlas has been favored by a high print and, if his jockey can timer correctly, he could be able to repeat this course and distance victory from last year, despite his revised brand.

Miss Nightfall At a slight question mark on its endurance for the 1m trip of the Sandringham Stakes (5.00), but it appeals as the right type for the straight track in Ascot and if its endurance holds, it should be closer.

During her last two departures in Goodwood in seven stadiums, she did not quite see the trip as well as she had promised after having traveled strongly, but she had possible apologies two times.

At the first time, the ground was heavy and the race turned into a real slog, and in the second time, it made her seasonal debut in a race which was dominated by adjusted rivals of the race, and after having traveled well, she had her momentum checked at a crucial stadium during the meeting with racing problems.

It must be said that her pedigree is a question of speed, but she remained strongly on the trip to Doncaster at the age of two, recording the last fastest fur in the race, it is therefore not improbable that it can be adapted to this trip at three years.

She is quite the right type in terms of racing style for this course and this distance, being a strong conservation horse, and if she stays, she should be a great player.

The form of Royal Ulixes Still supporting what would be necessary to win the King Edward VII Stakes (5.35), but there is a suspicion that he has not yet been able to show everything he is capable of, and he would not be surprising if he shows a very improved form here.

He took a very promising start to his career last September when he is third in a class 2 young girl at more than one mile in Goodwood, probably shaping with the most promises in a race that worked well, and he followed this with a good victory in the Haynes stakes, Hanson & Clark.

This form is not the easiest to weigh on the face because it was an event with four runners and the third looked ordinary in two previous departures, but the moment was good, just like the closing sections compared to the other breeds on the map, and the finalist (which wore a penalty) was an excellent second in Feilden’s stations on its reappearance.

These two races last September were all the more laudable since the BHA website indicates that Regal Ulixes only reached the court of Andrew Balding at the end of July, and of course after the race in Newbury, the coach spoke in terms of derby trial in Epsom in April.

It is clear that things did not work as planned, but he had his late reappearance in Doncaster a fortnight ago. Relatively low on the market beforehand, it was certainly not seen at best, maintained a regular pace, but it has acquired very well in the last -stage stages to descend the Daiquiri bay.

This race exceeded more than 10 stadiums, and it would not be absolutely guaranteed to remain 12 according to its stride models, but it shapes as if it was worth trying during this trip and it can indeed improve it.

It may be the most difficult horse to assess on the ground, but it is interesting that the connections are ready to come here rather than trying to operate its opening mark of 94. It is perhaps a contributory factor in its placement that it probably lacks the experience of a handicap of a large field at this stage of its career, but with Oisin Murphy on board, it seems worthy of chances of being BigGish.
