James Mackie | @JMackieRacing

Trainer To Follow - John & Thady Gosden

The training partnership of John & Thady Gosden could have a special day on the third day of the meeting with some nice chances up and down the card.

Their first runners of the day comes in King George V Stakes with Burgular, Inquiring Minds and Masai Mara all with chances in the 1m4f event.

The trainers best chance of the afternoon comes in the Group Two Ribblesdale Stakes with Al Asifah being supplemented for the event and looking a superstar in the making.

The team have Courage Mon Ami stepping up in trip for new connections in the Gold Cup with the yard having a superb record in the race.

In the Britannia Stakes Theory Of Everything will be looking to bounce back to form but could do that off a mark of 94 but he woul prefer some rain.

The Group Three Hampton Court Stakes sees the Gosden's have two leading chances with Epictetus and Torito for the same connections near the top of the market.

Finally, in the lucky last Unforgotten has put some nice runs together and will be hoping to hit the frame again.

Jockey To Follow - Ryan Moore

Ryan Moore started the meeting off with three winners and is sure to have more throughout the week and that could come on Thursday with some nice chances.

In the opener His Majesty for Aidan O'Brien looks underestimated in the market having put up two big runs to date and at a double figure price could go close again.

He then rides for Aidan O'Brien again in the King George V Stakes with Bertinelli coming here off the back of a good performance last time out.

Moore then jumps on Warm Heart in the Group Two Ribblesdale Stakes with the filly chasing a hat-trick and in the feature Gold Cup the rider will be hoping Emily Dickinson can bounce back to form over this further trip.

One of Moore's biggest prices on day three is Carracci in the Britannia Stakes with Aidan O'Brien trained colt having scope to improve.

Moore finishes off the Thursday by riding Drumroll in the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes and Biggles in the Buckingham Palace Stakes.

Moore is running at a superb strike rate of 31% for the last two weeks managing to land eight winners from his last 26 rides.
