Luke Morris talks us through his Saturday rides and looks ahead to Royal Ascot

I thought she won well last time at Chelmsford and that will certainly have got her confidence up for this race. However, the best of her form, like her win last time, has been on the all-weather and you can’t be sure she’ll do the same on the turf. If she can translate the form she’d be another that could be thereabouts at the finish.

6.50 Lingfield – One Too Many
This horse is trained by David Brown who tends to generally have his horses ready to go first time. She’s got a nice draw near the rail in stall nine which should help a horse having it’s first start. If there is some confidence behind her in the betting then she might be in the mix.

7.50 Lingfield – California Lad
He’s been placed on his last three starts this horse and I think he’s just been unlucky to bump into one each time. The horse who beat him at Kempton last time looks useful and that’s been this horse’s luck recently. I think he should go on the ground and I hope that this will be his day. He certainly has the talent to win this race and I think he’ll go close.

8.20 Lingfield – Kenstone
I’ve not ridden her before but she looks to have been running too free in her races and failing to get home. I wouldn’t be surprised if connections wanted me to make more use of her and try to settle her in front before kicking on. She would need to show more before you could have any confidence in her chances though.

8.50 Lingfield – Daring Day
I had a sit on him on Monday and he worked really well. The only real question mark is the ground but I think he should be fine on it. He ran great at Chelmsford on his last start when he would’ve needed the run and I’m sure he’ll have improved since. If he enjoys the ground then he’ll have a big chance of winning.

All the best,
Luke
