Ask Popular for Gold Cup as Punters Gear Up for Royal Ascot
15/06/10

Ask has been the main mover with totesport on the eve of Royal Ascot and Sir Michael Stoute’s entire is now 6/1 (from 7/1) for the Gold Cup on Thursday.

Ryan Moore has been all the rage to be top jockey at the meeting as well and has been backed to now share favouritism at 9/4 (from 11/4) with Richard Hughes.

‘We stuck our necks out making Richard Hughes favourite to be top jockey at Royal Ascot when we opened betting but punters clearly don’t agree and it’s been one-way traffic since,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.

A total of 85 remain in the Wokingham at the latest declaration stage and Redford has been popular with punters and is now 14/1 (from 20/1) with totesport. Ante-post favourite Showcasing features among 27 entries for the Golden Jubilee but it has been Happy Zero that has come in for support and John Moore’s six-year-old is now the 8/1 joint-second favourite (from 9/1) with totesport.
