15:40 Ascot – Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) (1m4f, Good to Firm)

·

The market has correctly identified Legacy Link as the class benchmark after her Oaks second, but the combination of a quick turnaround and short price makes her less attractive as a betting proposition than as a winner prediction.
The race may be set up perfectly for Earth Shot, whose Goodwood form has received a boost and whose pedigree points strongly towards improvement at 1m4f. She is the runner most likely to outperform market expectations.
Gilded Prize is the danger if her Saint-Alary defeat is ignored, while Johanna Walsh and Warriors Whisper are the two outsiders most capable of outrunning their odds.
