'She's done nothing but improve for her whole career - and she's still being underestimated'

What’s your best bet of the meeting?

Shadow Of Light, provided he goes for the Commonwealth Cup. I thought the Middle Park last year was just about the best two-year-old form around and the Guineas third proved he's trained on, although it also proved that a mile was the limit of his stamina. A stiff six furlongs will be absolutely ideal.

The Queen Anne looks a cracker – where’s your money going? 

The Lockinge is key and really it's anyone's guess who'll come out best. My personal preference is for Notable Speech, who was just about last off the bridle and gave the impression it was needed. The slight worry is that his one blot last year was a poor run at Ascot. I'd like to think there were other reasons for that.

Can anything beat Field Of Gold in the St James’s Palace?

No, if he turns up on his best form. I think Ireland proved he's the best three-year-old miler around and this stiffer track can only play to his strengths. If I had anything to do with Field Of Gold, I'd like him to appear to be badly drawn. The perception is that you don't want a wide draw. Say he was drawn eight of eight, that would give him room in the straight. It worked in Ireland.
