  • Ryan McElligott assesses the Irish challenge at Royal Ascot 2009.

    Saturday

    He faces no easy task against some of the world's top sprinters but Bushranger could go well in the Golden Jubilee Stakes. The Danetime colt established himself as a top drawer sprinting juvenile last year with victories in the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes. Last month he returned to action in the Greenlands Stakes where connections warned that he would need the run and that the soft ground wouldn't suit. Under the circumstances he didn't run at all badly there to finish fourth to Utmost Respect. He should be all the better for that outing and, while this is vastly tougher, his chances should not be underestimated. Also it is worth recalling that he ran very well at this meeting last year when just touched off in the Windsor Castle Stakes.

    Earlier Beethoven could be the one to side in the Chesham Stakes, which Aidan O'Brien last won with Bach in 1999. He posted a solid effort on his debut behind No Hubris at York and lost nothing in defeat against Love Lockdown at Naas recently. The latter went on to boost that form with a fine win in Sunday's Rochestown Stakes at Cork. The Oratorio colt should be right at home stepping up to this seven furlongs and he should not be opposed.

    Recommendations
    Beethoven
    Bushranger (e/w)
