Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2YO only)
Winner £56,710
Advice: 1 pt win Somewhat (13/8 general)
Berkshire: Impressive winner of Chesham Stakes to follow up promising
Newbury debut, and way that form worked out since – three pattern winners all
well beaten since, including fourth that day Somewhat who reopposes - gives him the best form chance here, while
he is most unexposed horse in field having had just the two runs although he’s
been off for 98 days since. 
Kingfisher: Looked a potentially serious horse when start to
finish 9l winner of Killarney maiden last month and better than bare form of
his well beaten third at Curragh might indicate having forced the pace early,
but plenty still to find.
Sir Jack Layden: second to Washaar in a Haydock maiden and
seventh behind Berkshire in the Chesham and on that evidence, a lot to be
making up here to get involved. 
Somewhat: Impressive debut win at Musselbrugh when he clocked
a strong time and won by seven lengths followed with laboured Chesham fourth,
but grown up a lot since then and deeply impressive listed win (Washaar behind)
one of a completely different horse to the one that was just fourth at Royal
Ascot and will get much closer today.
Washaar: Impressively defied a penalty considering the way
that he struck on for home too soon at Salisbury latest, his second listed win;
One loss came at the hands of Somewhat howeverand he makes more appeal today
despite progressive profile.
VERDICT: A cracking card is kicked off by the return of the
much anticipated Berkshire but he’s had a long layoff and SOMEWHAT, an improved
horse since who should relish the step up in trip, has ideal conditions to gain
his revenge today. Kingfisher and Washaar are clearly useful but do look held
on various formlines.
