Forecasts

Blackbeard (5/6), Crispy Cat (3/1), Age Of Kings (5/1), Shartash (9/1), Apache Outlaw (22/1), Borletti (150/1)

Verdict

BLACKBEARD lost his unbeaten record in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but he was far from disgraced to finish fourth and can resume winning ways in this less competitive Group 2. Crispy Cat probably would have gone very close in the Norfolk Stakes had he not been taken out well inside the last and looks the obvious threat stepping up to 6f.

  1. BLACKBEARD (IRE)
  2. CRISPY CAT
  3. SHARTASH (IRE)
