In the first part of the show the panel look at Saturday's card at Ascot. The Victoria Cup is the big handicap on the card with Mostabshir the current favourite, however Matt and Ed agree on one who could be a big challenger to the Gosden's horse. 

The second part of the show switches attention to Lingfield. Oaks and Derby trial's are the big headliners there. The impressive last-time-out Wetherby victor Danielle is a short price in the Oaks trial, while Aidan O'Brien really looks to get his Classic stars going with two entries in the Derby trial.

To finish, the team look ahead to the fillie's on Sunday in the 1,000 Guineas. This looks a more open contest than the colts equivalent and the panel discuss the chances of a few at prices.
