\/>\t\tRosallion (farside) was beaten a nose by in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot\t<\/p>\n<p>ON A cracking day of Group One action, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (3:25pm) shapes as another deep renewal, with 16 top-class milers lining up.<\/p>\n<p>The contest likely hinges on current favourite Field Of Gold, unseen since his disappointing run in the Group One Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.<\/p>\n<p>Talked up as a generational miler beforehand, that effort was a far cry from the brilliance he showed when blowing apart the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James\u2019s Palace Stakes here at the Royal meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Reported lame that day and absent since, he\u2019s a risky proposition at current odds, though if back to his best, he\u2019s the one they all must beat.<\/p>\n<p>No horse has endured more near misses this season than <strong>ROSALLION<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Richard Hannon team must wonder how their star miler isn\u2019t a triple Group One winner, beaten a nose, a neck, and a short head on three separate occasions in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>For me, his recent Prix du Moulin run was his best yet \u2013 just denied by Sahlan when rattling home from an almost impossible position.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, slightly more prominent tactics can deliver the overdue reward for connections.<br \/>I\u2019ll be siding with him in the World Pool Win market, available via tote.co.uk and at on-course Tote betting points.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tRead more<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a class=\"read-more__link\"

QEII<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A World Pool Quinella (picking the first two finishers in any order) also offers the chance of a big return for small stakes.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Rosallion, I\u2019ll include the fast improving <strong>NEVER SO BRAVE<\/strong>, who\u2019s surged through the grades this season, capped by victory in the Group One City Of York Stakes.<\/p>\n<p>He handles Ascot well and is tactically versatile, so he\u2019s worth including in a Quinella.<\/p>\n<p>Another who thrives on the straight track here is <strong>DOCKLANDS<\/strong>, who has never been out of the top three on his seven runs at the Berkshire venue.<\/p>\n<p>His run in the Prix Jacques le Marois was encouraging enough with this in mind, and he completes the Quinella.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POINTERS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
