Overseas Expert Column by Wally Pyrah This looks a great opportunity for progressive EKTIHAAM to confirm his high reputation held by connections. This beautifully bred INVINCIBLE SPIRIT gelding advertised his credentials when scoring decisively in Listed company over the course and distance last time with rivals THOMAS CHIPPENDALE second, and last season’s Epsom Derby runner-up MAIN SEQUENCE third. Previously he had made a promising seasonal comeback when third to AL KAZEEM in the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown in April, with the winner advertising the form by subsequently winning two Group 1 races, including the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday. An obvious threat will be globe-trotting Luca Cumani-trained MOUNT ATHOS, who has developed into a top-class performer, and ran away from his rivals when winning the Group 3 Stakes at Chester in May. Admittedly that was a weak race on paper, but the six-year-old was considered an unlucky loser in the Group 1 Melbourne Cup at Flemington, Australia last November. Lady Cecil is represented by previous Royal Ascot winner THOMAS CHIPPENDALE and NOBLE MISSION, who finished first and second respectively in the King Edward VII Stakes over 2,400m at the Royal Ascot meeting last summer. While NOBLE MISSION has plenty of ability, he is not straightforward, and has been unsuited by small select fields in the past, and is likely to be at his best in races where he can find cover. Preference goes to his stablemate THOMAS CHIPPENDALE who although beaten by EKTIHAAM last time, would prove dangerous if allowed to dictate his own tempo from the front. Progressive SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD must enter calculations, having won both his races this season, and representing the Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore combination who were successful with SEA MOON in this race last year. AIKEN, who finished fourth in that race, might prefer a longer trip, while previous Royal Ascot winner DANDINO, although showing no signs of regressing with age, may find this company too hot. SELECTIONS: EKTIHAAM, MOUNT ATHOS, THOMAS CHIPPENDALE & SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD

Overseas Expert Column by Wendyll Woods The Hardwicke Stakes has a Group 1 standard in all but name. This Group 2 is run over 2,400m has produced some brilliant winners over the years and MOUNT ATHOS will be looking to add his name to this illustrious list. His campaign will be focused around another tilt at the Melbourne Cup in November, but after his Group 3 victory last time out at Chester, this looks a good move to run here. He was a decisive winner by 9 lengths at Chester and comes into this as the highest rated runner. He handles all types of ground and although he ran poorly on his only other start at Ascot, the long straight here should play to his strengths. Likely to follow him home is EKTIHAAM who won over this course and distance last time out. Although that was only a Listed event, he won with great authority on his first start at Ascot which suggests that he took an immediate liking to this unique racecourse. Only 2lbs behind MOUNT ATHOS on ratings, he is only 4-y-o and looks to have trained on over the winter. He is still very progressive and is a huge danger here, along with THOMAS CHIPPENDALE. They have opposed each other twice this season, with THOMAS CHIPPENDALE back in second behind EKTIHAAM at Ascot last time out, but the placings were the other way round back in April at Sandown, when THOMAS CHIPPENDALE got his head just in front (both finished behind impressive the new Prince of Wales’s Stakes winner AL KAZEEM). THOMAS CHIPPENDALE is a Royal Ascot winner, having won the King Edward VII Stakes last year and has been unlucky not to win this year. He has an excellent chance of doing so here. I suggest you to take a chance on SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD for a place as he has looked very progressive this year, with two victories in two starts, raising him 13lbs in the handicap. He has every right to take his chance here and we don’t yet know just how good he could be. SELECTIONS: MOUNT ATHOS, EKTIHAAM, THOMAS CHIPPENDALE & SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD
