Racing Podcast: Royal Ascot preview

The jockeys’ title leader talks Ben Linfoot through his Saturday winner Queen Of The Pride, Royal Ascot without Frankie and a handful of rides he is looking forward to at the big meeting next week, along with Tamfana in the Prix de Diane on Sunday.

Elsewhere, David Ord is joined by Matt Brocklebank, Graham Cunningham, David Johnson and Billy Nash.

They look at the big talking points ahead of the Berkshire showpiece such as can we simply toss the Lockinge runs aside for Inspiral and Big Rock? No Frankie, and Gosden/Shoemark’s reliance on the older mares.

Guineas rematches and establishing the three-year-old miling pecking order. Big Evs – is he a worthy King Charles III Stakes favourite – and what of the other sprints?

Also, can we be sure Kyprios is at his 2022 level and will White Birch again have the legs of Auguste Rodin again?
