Sceptical will have a broad range of supporters at Royal Ascot Sceptical is the only sprinter on the lips of Irish racing enthusiasts at present, and he'll also have some of the layers rooting for him at Royal Ascot next week. Paul Binfield, spokesman for Paddy Power, explained: "We were pleased to see possible Irish raider Sceptical emerge as a legitimate King's Stand Stakes contender on the first day of the resumption of Irish racing. "That's because Battaash is our best backed horse at the Royal extravaganza and has been well supported to go one better than last year from an opening 6-1 in October into an even money favourite now."
