When we told you yesterday that we couldn’t see Look Here outside the top three in the Coronation Cup, we were spot on! Unfortunately she finished in third, two noses behind Ask. It was a brilliant effort from the filly on her seasonal debut, she may even be worth an investment in the Arc. Stan James go 33/1.

There haven’t been any significant gambles in the Derby market this week, and surprisingly Rip Van Winkle hasn’t been well supported. Perhaps punters are looking to the other Aiden O’Brien runners for the value – Black Bear Island is into 8s from 9/1 earlier this week.

On that note I genuinely don’t feel that 4/7 for a Ballydoyle winner offers value.

3/1 Sea The Stars should cruise home on Timeform ratings, but I think that Debussy could spring the mother of all shocks. 79/1 is available on Betfair.

Another outsider, South Easter, has been declared a non-runner.

Corals have just opened up some extra Royal Ascot 2009 antepost markets, including the Kings Stand Stakes and Golden Jubilee Stakes.

The antepost value is only going to be around for a few days, so we simply must take advantage soon.

Stan James are best-priced for Yeats to win a fourth Ascot Gold Cup at 2/1, but Corals’ 12/1 about Kasbah Bliss is my idea of decent each way value. He disappointed in the World Hurdle, but has shown great flat form at Longchamp. Francois Doumen’s star is available at 6/1 for next year’s World Hurdle, but Cheltenham isn’t his favourite course.

Yeats may take the headlines for the Ballydoyle team, but I cannot wait to see the Hungarian sprinter Overdose (pictured) on English turf.

The four year old star is unbeaten in twelve starts and was the moral winner of the farcical Prix de l’Abbaye last year.

The Budapest Bullet will be seen in the Temple Stakes at Haydock, by which time his Royal Ascot antepost value will be long gone.

Overdose was bought for just two thousand guineas in 2006, but is already attracting offers of over five million euros. This summer he will stay with Amanda Perrett and will be partnered by the arrogant Christophe Soumillon.

The front runner is 3/1 for the 5f King’s Stand Stakes and 4/1 for the 6f Golden Jubilee Stakes. The double with Corals pays a giant 19/1, which will do me nicely this summer. Forget the going or the draw – Overdose is a class act.

Choisir was the last horse to do the double in 2003.

May 23 Update: Sadly Overdose will miss Royal Ascot 2009. He will be given time to recover from a foot injury. Corals laid a $5000 bet from Hungary on the Overdose double.
