Hampton Court Stakes: Trinity College badly mispriced

This is a flash article due to the limited window of opportunity.

Bookmakers have just started to price up the Hampton Court Stakes on the Thursday of Royal Ascot. Two horses stand well clear at the top of the ratings, Detain and Trinity College, who ran fine races when third and fourth in the French Derby ("Prix du Jockey Club") two weeks ago. Of the pair, we strongly believe Trinity College ran the superior race, front-running the whole way to set the race up for stablemate Camille Pissarro. He had every right to fall in a hole given that pace-making role, but stayed on strongly to be beaten just a length at the line, finishing just a neck behind the more conservatively ridden Detain. We strongly fancy Trinity College to reverse that form in a race where he is running for the win, not a stablemate. Paddy Power have priced him up at 7/1, with the only other bookmaker pricing up the race at the time of writing (Bet365) opting for 7/2. We do not believe the Paddy Power price will last, and consider it excellent value.

Recommendation: Back Trinity College at 7/1 with Paddy Power to win the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday 19 June. Win or each-way.
