Here's what the Middleham maestro had to say about the pick of his Royal Ascot raiders in today's card in an exclusive Northern Echo interview.
3.05 Gr 3 Queen Mary Stakes (5f)
ATTRACTION has annihilated the opposition in all three starts. She's always shown us bags of speed and is one of our leading chances.
4.55 Ascot Stakes Handicap (2m 4f)
We have two entered, KNAVESMIRE OMEN and MANA D'ARGENT.
At any other track Knavesmire Omen would whip the pants of Mana d'Argent, but the latter is an Ascot specialist having finished third in this race last year, as well as winning three times at the course in 2002.
5.30 Listed Chesham Stakes (7f)
Despite the strong claims of Attraction, my gut feeling tells me that PEARL OF LOVE is the nap.
He was impressive at Doncaster and this race has always been his aim
