… The other angle is Wesley Ward. His two horses ran really well yesterday, Cannonball got badly out-paced in the King’s Stand early on over an inadequate distance, then ran on really well to take sixth place, while Strike The Tiger won the Windsor Castle. Ward thought his Queen Mary filly was his best chance at Royal Ascot, so you have to take her, Jealous Again, really seriously now. I don’t know much about her, but she is apparently a speedball over four and a half furlongs, and we now know that we have to respect these Wesley Ward-trained American sprint juveniles. They could be seriously under-rated because not much is known about them by British and Irish punters. I am happy to back her at 10/1.
JEALOUS AGAIN WON (ADV 10/1, SP 13/2)
