Fanning’s Fancy Royal Ascot – Day Two

Jun 15 2011 By Gary Fanning

SUPERSTAR So You Think and Shumoos can deliver a double (5/2 Hills) on day two of Royal Ascot.

The Aidan O’Brien five-year-old is set to steal the show in the Princes of Wales Stakes (3.45) following an eye-catching victory in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup for his new stable.

Filly Shumoos is the one to beat in the Queen Mary Stakes (5.00) and her form has been given a further boost when Fredreick Engles was an impressive winner of yesterday’s Windsor Castle Stakes. Shummos beat Fredrick Engles by four and half lengths in a 5f Maiden at Haydock last month.

And Fanning’s Fancy got off to a flyer on the opening day of Royal Ascot yesterday with a magnificent 16/1 treble thanks to wins from Canford Cliffs, Frankel and Power.
