This Grade 2 race has been his target from the moment he came back from holiday early in July. He is fit to run for his life, his work with Bravemansgame on Thursday was eye-catching and drying ground at Ascot is a big plus for him. We don\u2019t think he was at his best when he was beaten by Shiskin at Ascot in February as he\u2019d had a few races before that and things could well be different this time.<\/p>\n<p>14:05 &#8211; Blueking D\u2019Oroux<\/p>\n<p>He is highly progressive, a different horse since we gave him a wind op last season. I loved the way he won at Cheltenham last month and he will relish the step up in trip to two miles, three furlongs. While he has a bit to find on official ratings I\u2019m expecting a big run from him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/24\/21\/78213513-12788463-image-a-55_1700861936248.jpg\" height=\"434\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Grade 2 race on Saturday has always been Pic D&#8217;Orhy&#8217;s target from the moment he came back in July<\/p>\n<p>15:50 &#8211; Regents Stroll<\/p>\n<p>He is an interesting prospect by Walk In The Park out of a mare closely related to Denman.\u00a0Regents Stroll goes nicely at home and I\u2019d put him in the same league as our recent bumpers like Kap Boy and Touquet.
