'He always saves his best for Ascot' - jockey Tom Bellamy joins the panel

The Long Walk is the feature at Ascot. Who wins?
Phill Anderson, Spotlight writer Ronald Pump. His comeback run behind Honeysuckle showed he retains all his ability and he'll relish the return to 3m.
Tom Bellamy, jockey It's a shame Buzz won't be there. I'm riding Paisley Park and he's been there and done it. He comes here off the back of two below-par runs but wears a first-time tongue-tie to eke out some improvement. You never know what it might do to him and I'm looking forward to getting the leg up on him. I was chatting to Aidan [Coleman] about him and he said he always saves his best for Ascot. I'll be very positive and enjoy it.
Chris Cook, Reporter of the YearPaisley Park looks a big price, if you accept that the cheekpieces mucked things up for him last time. He's won this twice and is unbeaten at the track.
