Valiant Prince

Punchestown has top level jumps action but Ascot has a princely flat card on Wednesday, April 27. Valiant Prince can put in a royally good show for Godolphin.

Planet Sport's Live Race Centre is a one stop shop of information on racing at Ascot, including full race cards.

Planet Sport's super seven picks at Ascot are as follows.
Good Birthday (13.50 Ascot)
Dayyan (14.25 Ascot)
King's Joy (15.00 Ascot)

Wordsworth (15.35 Ascot)

Go Bears Go (16.10 Ascot)

Valiant Prince (16.40 Ascot)

Mulzim (17.10 Ascot)
Plus we've got some finer details on our three main selections at Ascot.

15.35 Ascot - Wordsworth

Princess Zoe has obvious ability but you never know which version will show up at present, so we'll side with Wordsworth in the Longines Sagaro Stakes.

Aidan O'Brien's four-year-old stayer has an Ascot Gold Cup entry and won in nice fashion last time out at Gowran Park.
Yes there are unknowns about the two miles trip but Wordsworth is a versatile performer who can write himself into proceedings under Ryan Moore.

16.10 Ascot - Go Bears Go

David Loughnane's Go Bears Go can roar into form after a break in the Group 3 Merriebelle Stables Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes.

A second in November in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint speaks for itself and while it is hard to recreate those conditions, anything more solid than good to firm should be workable.
The Kodi Bear colt knows all about Ascot having won on debut in Berkshire and this one should show his claws here.

16.40 Ascot - Valiant Prince

The combination of a Dubawi gelding, Charlie Appleby and William Buick can't be dismissed in the Paradise Stakes.

The consistent Valiant Prince is hat-trick hunting and comes back to the UK after two wins at Meydan.

That warm weather winter work will do Valiant Prince the world of good and this could be a right royal romp for the boys in blue.
