Royal Ascot Tips

Ger reminds me of Geraghty when he was a 5lb claimer. He was mixing it there with Ruby in a finish and gave him a peach of a ride. I'm delighted for him and I think he's a lad with a bright future. Tom (Quinn) has booked to go to Cheltenham for three or four days and he's in the novice handicap there but I'm a bit dubious about it. If the ground comes up quick he won't go. I said instead of waiting for that and missing the soft ground we'd be better getting it when we could here. He's a horse that has broken down twice and he does a lot of swimming. Probably without the swimming he'd be hard to keep sound. We just swim him and run him and don't really gallop him at home. I said going out today this was the fittest I'd had him. Ideally we would have point-to-pointed him but his legs probably wouldn't have held up to it and I'd be worried about taking him to Cheltenham as well.
