Favourite Bangkok should be tough to beat, but I have taken a chance on same owner’s 2nd string FOX VARDY (20/1). Selection cost 210,000 guineas and makes his debut here. Frankel’s progeny has an overall 23% win and 63% place strike rate here at Ascot, and record of his 2 year olds here reads 353131021. Trainer Martyn Meade has a very good record with newcomers, 14% win (+74 LSP) and 30% place strike rate on 2yo debuts.
Small win bet @ 20/1, and double the win stake on place market (3 places) @ 10/3
